Film Testing Priority - December

Yesterday evening I rode v3 Tremola 3 - Oberalp Pass.
My settings were 100% difficulty and 100% road feel.

There is a section between 450m-1000m in the village with cobbles. Should there be any road feel here? I didn't notice any.
No notes on the rest of the ride. I experienced some small/quick resistance drops from time to time but none of these require changes in my opinion. 

Nice ride and superb image quality!

There is road feel set in the village, will double check when I’m back. But recently there are loads of issues of road feel not being triggered or starting too late. When I have it set in the data. 

Just finished v3 RhineSource Gravel
Settings were 100%/100%. Average speed around 30 km/h at 200w.

Great ride with good resistances (felt natural) when climbing the hills.
Road feeling was good too, except for another bug(?). At around 13,45KM (or something) when you continue onto asphalt the roadfeel didn't stop but continued another 5 KM's onto the next gravel section. After this everything went fine and roadfeel starts/stops correctly.

I guess your right Phil. The number of times I experience issues with road-feel is increasing. I'm training on the 3M. Maybe it's related?
Did you talk to the Tacx team about the increasing number of road-feel issues yet?

Not yet, although this is the Garmin/Tacx Beta test forum, they will be reading this (normally) :-)  But it might be a good idea to post separately in the relevant forum if there is one... 

Road feel should stop at 12.4km as you can see below, you go around that bend on the 2nd short stretch & turn left onto the main road on tarmac. Then its marked as default tarmac until 18,7km. These look to be spot on. It might be an issue your side, but then again others also are posting issues. It feels like its always in different random locations. I think its something that happened in the last couple of months.

Yeah, this was the section I meant. Road-feeling never stops for me but just continues. I had the same experience on the new Gotthard Pass video a while ago. If 'my' troubles with road feel stopping/starting continue, then I'll create a topic for it in the New Year.

This morning I cycled v7 Tauern 1 - Radweg
Settings 100%/100%

This was one cool scenic ride! Astounding views and cool cycling paths and going through small tunnels. Plenty of things to see. Looks like somebody put some serious effort into this. Good feeling on the gradients. Even road-feeling on smaller bridges.

Not much to be improved. Maybe consider removing the road-feel at 12,95km on the small cattle grid. Speed is low after climbing so road-feel was harsh. Sudden and unpleasant to me.

At 26,41km (beautiful mountain view) there seems to be a video cut. The 2 pieces of video which are glued together seem to be from totally different sections which made it really weird to me. Is there a piece of film missing? This was a harsh transition. Can anyone confirm that I'm not the only one who experienced this? Is there any way to improve this?

Were these rides filmed with that horizontal angle thingy? The start of the last climb with the steep 19% gradients looks very steep (the legs agreed on being steep gradient). This is really great! Shortly before the last climb I was thinking "are we really going left??" Let's go!

Yes everything filmed in Switzerland, Austria & later when we publish it the massive Raid Pyrenees from the Aubisque onwards...plus that Dolomites trip is with the newer camera that can lean & also look at the horizon for a more "Hill effect" .

To add a story 

back in 2004 when we first started, I had the camera mounted on a tripod that was mounted onto the front of the Tacx minivan they had back in the day (seemingly without any suspension). I used to manually move the camera angle downward as we climbed as to attempt a fake "Hill effect" in our first Tour of Flanders film which followed part of the women race..it was not a great idea at the time, but the intention was noble!  Its amazing how the tech has changed over the years..

This might have been a filming speed skip, these can happen often near cuts where there can be a sudden very slow speed that will cause a skip or two. Normally I aim to have all these filtered out before the ride gets published.
