I have a question ?
Can i use Zwift in combination with a Tacx vortex 2170 ?
And what i need ?

It looks like the Vortex 2170 is the older “dumb” trainer. It can only communicate with the Tacx software, not with the open ANT+ protocol. You need the Vortex 2180 for ANT+ and Zwift…
Zwift doesn’t recognize the I-Vortex as a Smart Trainer nor as a “dump” trainer.
What you can do to get it working is buy the Tacx Speed & Cadense Sensor T2015 and pair it with Zwift. You still can use the Tacx ANT+ antenna.
With the powermeter reading on your handlebar computer you can find a matching “dump” trainer in Zwift.
NB: Zwift will not control your I-Vortex. The program calculates your speed in Zwift.
