For some reason the links to the files in my instructions above no longer work. Here are the instructions again with new links to version 3.53 of the Bkool Simulator:
- Uninstall the Bkool simulator software
- Donwload the old version from here:
- Windows: https://gofile.io/?c=rFDElj
- Mac: https://gofile.io/?c=aLQb37
- Install the software, but don’t run it yet!
- Find and open a file called version.dat
- In windows it is here C:\Program Files (x86)\Bkool Indoor\BkoolIndoor_Data\StreamingAssets
- On a mac it is here: Find the Bkool application in “Applications”, right-click to bring up the menu and select “Show package contents”, Navigate to: Contents > Resources > Data > StreamingAssets > version.dat
- Edit the file so that the number in it is “5.14” (i.e. the latest version) instead of “3.53” (On the Mac I had to make a copy of the file, edit that, then delete the original and replace it with my new version - there may be a better way but I’m not used to working on Macs)
- Open the Bkool simulator and hopefully it won’t prompt you to update it since we’ve tricked it in to thinking it is the latest version
- Go to the Pair Devices section and find the Bkool trainer - hopefully you should see the option to enable Ant+ FE-C mode, click this
- You might get a message to say that the update failed but this wasn’t actually true in my case - try loading up Zwift and hopefully it should appear as a controllable device
- Ride!
