New Kikcr Bike firmware 1.27.0. no details on the improvements or if the draft issues has been resolved.
On wahoo site: “Tweaks under the hood to improve your Kickr Bike experience”
Anyone noticed any change to drafting with Kickr bike after latest update I see no improvement drafting in a group ride.

i noticed a big improvement in the supertuck. now is tucking faster and even before hitting the 0 watts. no need to brake now. I also noticed a small improvement in the draft (mostly in downhill, i did not get dropped in the same courses where i did two months ago).
Something changed for sure. am i crazy?
Recently I noticed this after updating my Wahoo Kickr bike software. I had also done the recent Zwift update. Not sure how, what or which, but I felt an improvement for downhill tuck and for drafting. Both are more realistic now.

EDIT: Yesterday ZRL TTT was awful. Always outside the draft in the second line.
Even in P6 impossible do draft…
Very different avaatr behavior compared to my team mates with no kickr bike.
The issue is still there
I noticed today also with Pace Bot Cadence on Sand and Sequoias on several parts of the course my Avatar would loose the draft steering was turned off in the pairing screen I use BLE connection to ATV.
Same config as me. Steering off
Has anyone had any update from Zwift HQ that the issue has been fixed because I see no improvement on drafting and TBH I have just about had enough 
.
i do not know. it’s pretty frustrating.i could see different behaviour from my team mates with Wahoo V5…
I am experiencing a reoccuring issue on one particular sprint.
Setup:
Wahoo Kickr Bike paired with BLE. Steering turned off in the pairing screen.
Sprint segment is the reverse downtown watopia sprint when coming from the volcano.
I have now a couple of times when racing and sprinting on this part of the course experienced being placed out to the right of the road and definitely out of the draft. In this evenings race there were quite a few riders passing me on the left where it was quite obvious that they had the advantage of the draft. Looking at the stats I am if not the one with the highest average w/kg in the race then at least top 3. I have a lot of experience with the sprint and usually have the timing for the sprint dialled in.
I wouldn’t be writing if I felt that I had been beaten fair and square, but it doesn’t seem like a coincidence that I have experienced this more than a few times.
It would be nice if you could do some troubleshooting with this issue. I have a stream of the sprint if you need to have a look.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Marcel
I have not been able to super tuck for ages on my kickr 2 , being a lighter rider I am struggling to stay with heavy leaders on downhills, at times pushing 4kg whilst the leader swanning along on 1.9, the whole drafting, rider weight etc has got worse nothing like real life riding now
