This Season on Zwift [April 2023]

there is a section remover on this

so definitely should be easy enough to do

I really want to be able to jump between the small worlds, i’m getting increasingly bored of the bigger ones and doing similar courses ever time due to the length of time i want to ride for

Me to.

I just want it a bit more polished than straight lines and weird data.

To where? Robot worlds? Let the third parties catch up to #1. Bring it.

How would you calculate elevation gain over a segment if the segment starts in watopia Sea level but jump to the middle of ven top .

I am not trying to be difficult, just pointing out possible issues.

I would just enjoy my ride and not care about that. I deleted my Strava account years ago when KOM hunters started hitting pedestrians. I analyze data on TrainingPeaks but just for power, not for imaginary maps. Let Zwift be Zwift and don’t make it serve Strava or anything outside the game.

Strava already handles this correctly re distance. Commute used to be a ride to train station, catch train and finish riding to work. Yes, it showed a straight line for portion on the train but distance, time and speed were shown correctly (Garmin stopped whilst on train).

I would like it to look something like this Col du Tourmalet :slight_smile:

Something like that would be fantastic. I’m just hoping it’s not a single road suspended in a void, like a VeloViewer climb profile.

I don’t think this would be an issue. I haven’t tried it, obviously, but I’d be surprised if Strava would even let you create such a segment. We can be pretty sure no public ones would span gaps, as only Eric S can create them.

I expect something quite gamified. Rainbow Roads has already been suggested.

Based on nothing, as far as I can tell though, other than it being a “new visual experience” or suchlike.

Pretty sure I wouldn’t want to ride for an hour or two on a rainbow road though! :rofl:

If all data is correct and it is just a line on a map then that really shouldn’t stop anything.

Do people really look at maps of zwift rides anyway?

Oh sure, it’s pure speculation. But I’m expecting something not a million miles away from that - not location-accurate scenery, auto-generated but not just a plain wasteland.

I meant segment as in a random sections of road. That you want to analyze.

Why would you want to analyse a section that traverses a couple of different worlds, when you’ve probably been soft pedalling while the new world loads or some other thing that means it’s not a sustained effort?

It just seems like dreaming up obstacles that aren’t likely to be an issue in reality.

The intent of the coffee stop is to not lose the riders you’re riding with. The intent is not to purposely give you 3 free minutes of xp or distance. If who you’re riding with leaves the game, or you yourself are quitting, then there’s no loss anyway. I assume if you’re on break and the other rider leaves, you’ll just coast to a stop on the side of the road.

What’s going on with clothes changing colors while running? Is it normal?

To be precise - it was a joke :blush:

That is what I would expect as well. Just hope it is more interesting than RGT’s Magic Roads scenery is.

SIgned up to RGT Just to try it, and the GPS thing worked really well … I used a route I have ridden a lot and know really well and it was definitely accurate to how it feels in real life. It was just really boring to look at on screen while riding it.

Can definitely see the benefit of the Magic Roads thing if you are entered in an event on unfamiliar roads and want to get a feel for it, beyond that I personally don’t see the attraction.
