I’m trying to figure out what to focus on for the upcoming releases of RoadCaptain and I’d like to ask the community what people would like to see next!
Just wanted to say after reading your GitHub that this project looks really interesting. I’ve not tried it yet - just need to find a bit of time to do so
@xflintx anything like this in the plan for Zwift? it would be great to have custom routes and Sanders interface looks great. really simple to use. RGT has magic roads which will surely improve with their new investment. Giving organisers access to custom routes could add some interest to events and races
I’m really stoked to be able to share with you the first test build for RoadCaptain on macOS!
This build should be fully functional but as always with test builds, some thing may not be super polished just yet
One known issue: When you log in to Zwift from RoadCaptain Runner the backspace key unfortunately does not work… So if you think you made a typo in your password, select everything in the field and type it again.
It’s here! RoadCaptain release 0.6.5.0 adds Makuri Islands to build and ride routes!
Really happy to finally make this available, it’s been one of the most requested features. It’s still in BETA test mode so you may encounter some glitches. If you do please create an issue here on GitHub
Another feature that will land in the next release is better support for building a route which is a loop.
Route Builder will allow you to create a route that has a lead-in and then starts with the loop. You do this by selecting the segments to build a route and then “connect” to a segment earlier on your route.
The result will look like this:
a “game changer” would be, if we could match the created routes to an appropriate workout for group-rides with rubber-banding/keep together. For example mountain-route mean high watts, low cadence. I know, it is nearly impossible but anyway .
Heh for me to make that work the people at Zwift need to hire me
As it stands I have no way to make group rides work with RoadCaptain (at least I haven’t investigated but it seems very tricky)
You could of course start a group ride and have everyone use RoadCaptain at the same time but I’m not sure how well that would work
I wish RoadCaptain supported all worlds please.
I wanted to make a custom route to scout ride a route that is event only (Innsbruck KOM after party)
thanks for your hard work on this
