ops i didnt read the line of all world.So now it is enabled in all worlds

Both your screenshots have the rider that I suppose doesn’t have steering, taking the shorter turn on the inside?

I wonder which takes precedence - AllWorlds or a specific named world.

This is really really silly having community guessing what they have been changing instead of actual developers explaining what they change like @DavidP did with PD4. Also @Jon said they were going to fix the supertuck problem in races but nothing has changed.

It’s because they really don’t care about the supposed ‘community’. It’s a complete disregard of it. Otherwise they wouldn’t be posting on Facebook with sparse updates and nothing on their own forums. It’s basically a continuous slap in the face of everyone posting here.

Just a reminder that Jon posted that Zwift HQ was working on changes to PD5 in “the next
week or two” back on February 12th, and we’ve been ghosted since.

Honestly though, I’m at least happy that PD5 is disabled for races. If only they would disable it outright and fix the WTRL TTT tracking for non-play users.

Changes have been happening, in a group ride in London today movement through/around groups was different than it had been. Steering users are still getting shunted out to the side all by themselves, but it’s a slightly slower/softer movement rather than the unceremonious jerking to the side that it had been.

In the robopacer rides I did last week steering users all stayed nicely together with the robopacer while non steering users (like me) ended up shoved out to the side and left there until the group gets a gap and then my avatar finally decides to move over (along with the other blocking rider) and I have to sprint to catch up.

Why do overtaking riders get to push people out of the draft? The overtaking people should go around (and out of draft) instead.

PD5 really needs to be in racing ASAP so we can see how much more exciting racing is with it. :squinting_face_with_tongue:

No not really. It’s just bad. They ride along off to the side for a while regardless. Here’s another ladder race, 9 with steering, 1 without…

I wonder if there was a survey. . .

It’d look something like this lol
