agree with you… for all the anticipation, the new hud doesn’t give me much more than before and I find the climb info a bit intrusive on screen. Currently resisting the update in my iPad :)
@GeneralElost Күн бұрын
Yeah, it feels...unfinished. Like the elevation data could have just been an addition to the map (have the elevation on the map have the same colors and be zoomable or customizable). Very weird.

No problem! So the metrics you see are from Sauce for Zwift. It's a $2 subscription via Patreon. As for my PC, it's nothing special. I believe it's a Ryzen CPU and an old 1080ti Graphics card so nothing current gen or even last gen. Thankfully Zwift isn't too taxing. Definitely lemme know if you have any other questions though!

I was in that race, and agree it was an weird one. It was totally chill until the aqueduct climb, then super hard as we chased the two-man break, then surprisingly chill on les intestines until it wasn't. At 36:15, the guy who ended up winning the race dropped a feather and launched a strong attack going up that final kicker. The pack surged in response, and it looks like it took you a few seconds to boost your power, by which time you had lost your position. I thought you did a great job to get back into a good position for the sprint. I share your struggles with les intestines. I've found it's really key to be in the first 5 wheels or so for the two kickers at the end because someone is almost always going to take a flyer on one (or both) of them. Thanks for sharing the video. It was fun to watch it back.

@GeneralElost 9 ай бұрын
SORRY! I missed this. (Been sick) Thank you for the kind words. It was tough but super fun! For multistream, I use restream which is paired with OBS, basically it's a native option for it to just stream from OBS to restream's services. And the animations are from a program called Lumia Stream. Some animations I've made myself, and some are available through the program. Definitely don't hesitate to shoot me a DM on Discord, Twitter, whatever if you have any tech questions. I don't mind helping others get set up.
