Tacx Desktop app WIN10 updates?

are there any plans to updated the WIN10 version?

for example a big change, so you don't have to use this really *** Microsoft Store where you are limited with drivers and only can use Bluetooth and not ANT+?

import functions, for example structured Training of other Platforms like Training Peaks?

the software looks like the same as 1 year ago and it's limited!

Hi,

The software changed quite a bit if you compare it with 1 year ago!

We're always working on new features and ANT+ will be supported soon.

It's scheduled to be included within the next update (should…

You can install the new version of Tacx Desktop app right now via the Microsoft Store on Windows 10

That's correct, right now ANT+ is supported (for external sensors).

It's not ANT+ FEC that's used to control trainers, this might be enabled in the future but it's to early to tell, we'll need to do…

I have a three month premium subscription. I hope the update comes out soon before the subscription expires )))) However, this does not interfere with training.

tried again to search for update, no update will be offered, Tacx-John your logics for your servers is correct?

Yes the update is being rolled out, but not for everyone at the same time.

It may up to 3 weeks before everyone has the opportunity to upgrade.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Tacx-Hilko i don't undertand why you can't give the new version in the store, it make no difference if i install the old or the new version, the download traffic for your server is the same?

if i install/deinstall the old version 10 times, the traffic is 10 time higher as you offer me the new version for a one time download, or?

Its the rolout that Tacx has done. So Tacx started wth 10% of the install base to update and then progressivly worldwide updated it. If small bugs were noticed they were fixed with then next update or changes done on the cloud services for example. That could be the reason. However we should be on a 100% rolout this week as i understood.

On the traffic. Im not sure if you have issues right now with video streaming?. I do not believe we change the download speed, but you have now the option to stream the video in stead of first downloading it

i haven't had any bandwith problems, all is good, but the update won't come on my Home PC, i mean, if i install/deinstall the old Tacx App 100 time, i generate more traffic on your Tacx server, instead install one time the latest version, hope you understand what i mean?

is the download User based or Device based, because in my work i received the update with the same account as at home?
