Virtual shifting lets resistance drop to zero

Hello @Lukas_Bartzsch welcome to Zwift forum.

When I connect the Clickr in the game app and start a ride, the resistance drops to zero immediately.

We made a change last month where Virtual Shifting starts initially in an easier gear. If you have virtual shifting enabled in the game settings menu, and you’re using a KICKR Core + Click controller, you should start out in virtual gear 8. Please confirm?

@shooj

For Zwifters using virtual shifting with the sequential gearing scheme, the default starting gear was changed from gear 12 to gear 8 to provide an easier starting point.

If you manually shift up to gear 12, does it feel like the resistance you were used to prior to this change?
