I guess not all of you have experienced someone with steering snap someone out of the way despite being the person behind…
Happened once on a WTRL TTT, one of my teammates forgot to disable steering; and near the very end he was dropping off, as another teammate was coming through to lead us out to the end…
As he was coming off the line, he stopped paying attention; pulling hard left.
Meanwhile, my character got stuck far left, and never fell into the draft of the teammate coming through to lead us out.
Thus… we all got dropped lol
I still don’t find steering unfair, just… different. More along the lines of buggy than unfair, if I’m being honest lol.
sure have. the team/s i ride for handle it calmly and it’s almost never an issue, but it’s not always even rider error when it does, at least not one that i can personally discern
There’s an average of about one race per day with steering disabled according to zwift hacks. Hopefully everyone who doesn’t have steering is available for that time.
It’s not an inexpensive hobby. Most often, you already need an investment in:
smart trainer
bike
computing device, apple tv and/or a monitor
zwift subscription
Not that 80gbp isn’t a lot for game controller, but relative to the rest of the investment it doesn’t strike me as significant.
One of the reasons I switched from Apple TV to PC for running Zwift on was because the Sterzo wouldn’t connect via the companion app, I just got an error message. Recently steering using a Sterzo has become slow and unresponsive.
Since the Play Controllers came out the Sterzo has been nuked.
My Sterzo (purchased this winter, after the Play came out) has been fine. The recent update does have a bug that slows it down somewhat, but it’s still perfectly usable. And the bug is a bug, intended (and expected) to be fixed, so I’m not at all concerned.
‘Race mode’ on the more expensive trainers is an advantage that costs more. And I can’t select a race where Race Mode isn’t allowed, so I’m always going to be at a disadvantage with my older trainer. Bigger and better fans are a real advantage that cost more. More efficient drivetrains are an advantage that cost more. Having a better job that gives you more time to train is an advantage to the wealthier.
I’m always on a budget, with pretty much everything I do. But plenty of cyclists bleed out money on constant small purchases–money that for some (not all) could be funneled into one purchase at one point.
It was like it back on the 23rd January when I relieved my Sterzo of paperweight duties to ride Repack Rush just for the badge. It’s now being used as a bookend because it’s useless for steering.
Huh. Yeah, hasn’t been that way for me at all. Steering has been snappy all along until this latest update–a bit too much sometimes, in fact. It’s easy to oversteer if I’m not careful, the reaction time is that fast. This recent bug has actually made it easier for me to steer precisely where I want. I think ideally I’d prefer something in between where it was up to this last update, and where it is now.
But no, for me it was very fast and responsive from late December up to the last update.
Sounds like a you problem, did you contact support? I just bought another Sterzo, updated it, and my wife just road first time with it no problems. With the last patch bug making it a tad slow is not that big of an issue as @Tom_J pointed out and it should be fixed next patch.
@Jason_J_SPM@Tom_J I have the play controllers. Tried repack again today. Steering is still definitely slow on them as well. Hopefully they have a patch soon
