Bluetooth improvements for controllable trainers & treadmills [January 2022]

@Mark_Hulskamp
We have been working on this for some time, and will be enabling a server-side Bluetooth update this week.

Something curious came up during today’s team meeting about this issue. It’s come to our attention that those using FTMS-capable trainers with iOS or Apple TV devices may not be loading the latest version of FTMS code. In plain English, this means:

  1. Visit the App Store and update to the latest game version.
  2. Force-close Zwift after each session rather than just swipe the app into the background. This step is especially important so that the game client loads the latest version of FTMS code.

iOS / Apple TV users who are not in the habit of force-closing after each session + who use an FTMS-capable trainer (like the KICKR v5/ Kickr Bike / Tacx Flux 2 or Flux S / Elite Direto or Suito / Saris H3) - would you try those two steps and let us know if resistance on hills feels better?
