Cheers, it won't be long before he is dropping me as well 😅

Yep Harry mode, then some idiot asked me to fill a gap! Who do they think they are!

Thank you ❤

If you have stated the issue with accuracy and sticky watts in racing plainly for all consumers then I've missed it and will take your word as yoi do have a huge catalogue of vids. Regarding the "disingenuous" charge regarding my statement power meters are not accurate for the purpose of zwift racing. I will direct you to ZADA and the very fact they do not allow power meters as the source of power in zwift racing at the highest level. I made the "mistake" of using Indievelo purely for the built in feature that is shows both power readings at the same time using the same app on the same computer, my mistake was people use this to deflect from Zwift. Why this is even used as a defence is weird as it's established Zwift has this issue and I do not need to make yet another video showing this. The very purpose of this video is to demonstrate how easy it is for people to assign a power meter as primary power and learn to pedal in such a way it takes advantage of sticky watts. They then become more and more effective using this technique, pedalling along totally oblivious. Many in the community do not speak out about it for various reasons. I know some don't get it who watch this video, especially as it's really a niche part of zwift, but it's ruining community races at the level below Zada events. As to it being Zwift and Indievelos fault. I've talked to the developers of Indievelo and I'm not pretending to know the true issue, but they have stated it's not something they intend to change as doing so on their end means they have to make up numbers. A Ferrari is a great brand of car and desirable, but no one buys one to get the groceries and take the kids to school. Same with power meters, they do the job they were originally designed to do, provide power data when power is being produced, the original intended use was never racing on Zwift or other online platform, they just happen to be able to do the job if you are keeping inside their working window. People find it hard to understand this, and I know I do not have the skills to produce a concise easy to understand video for those outside of the small circle I intended this video to target.

loleu

I am using a Nvidia GTX 1080. A Nvidia 4060 or above would be ideal. I use the 13400 intel CPU.

@@titaniumben9923 huh, surprisingly average specs, upgrade might be affordable! Cheers :)

@@jesikat yep, nothing top end needed unlike most other gaming streams

I had it at 109%

Thank you Todd, he is doing well. Gone from 793 grams to 884 grams. Taking his food, and not requiring his c-pap oxygen. He will be in Nicu for a few more months but we couldn't be happier with his progress.

@@titaniumben9923 Holy moly! Congratulations, Ben!

@@ZwiftyZwifter thanks Rob

Thanks Nathan, amazing to see little bub after daily ultrasounds for 29 days (I lost count I think), we were both very glad to get from 25 weeks to 29 weeks. Each day was turning into groundhog day. He is still in the highest level of care in NICU, but the care he is receiving is amazing. Atleast 11 more weeks if all goes well before we get to take him home.

Is that considered "supporting"? It's simply classifying it so COD viewers aren't accidentally turning up and getting confused about where my guns are. There isn't an option for Indievelo atm unless it was updated a few day ago, 99% of my viewers use zwift and understand what Indievelo is I'd think

@@titaniumben9923 it wasn’t an attack, just simply letting you know in case you wanted to remove it since you are no longer on the platform 👍🏻 Keep it there if you want ☺️

@@sigfreed11 no worries, sorry I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today 😆

Both are set to instant. And FAR too many people are trying to find issues other than the sticky watts which is well documented and people who say their power meter does not get this, has not actually done this test, I dare anyone who says their power meter to go up the hilly kom doing this pedalling style and then post the fit file here

Yea I'm curious about this too

Yes, I thought the power meter looked late to start and late to finish v the trainer.

Your observations are correct, I was deliberately riding to show how this is exploited on accident by someone who thinks they are simply being efficient. IndieVelo let's you ride around in the general world as I was without issues. When you setup an event, you can choose from 3 options, the second level requires trainer power to take part, the next level up requires trainer power as primary and power meter connected as secondary so that both are recorded into fit file

BTW, accuracy isn't the really correct term, as power meters go to zero when you stop pedaling. It's how Zwift and IndieVelo process the power meter data that causes the issue.

in the Elite app you set the power smoothing to 1

Can you post your zwiftpower profile? It’d be one of the few without any stickywatts if so.

Maybe I should pm you before I make videos as you described the issue perfectly. People are still telling me their PM doesn't do this and it must my issue... or telling me it's just a game. Both fail to recognise the issue and do not do the community any good. IndieVelo is brilliant however the juggernaut of Zwift means it's still worth putting pressure on Zwift to be better at educating people.

We should setup a bingo card of all the excuses to ignore the obvious next time.

In the direto app you change the avg reporting time to 1. Also in-game I have things set to instant, same in Zwift, set to 1 second not 3 seconds average.

Thank you. That explains a lot.

I've not asked. But it's not an issue given you can setup trainer only power for events very easily.

@@titaniumben9923 yeah, I’d just be interested, but now I’m in perhaps I can ask…

@@ZwiftyZwifter great thing is you'll get a response, just be prepared for possibly a very technical one 😆
