Re: FortiusAnt for using old USB trainers with modern software (TDA) needing Ant+

I will ask .... Response This is again a case of the Tacx software/drivers being obsolete, rather than the device itself. They just never bothered making a 64-bit compatible drivers. Since we are using the libusb driver, this is not an issue. I don't have a T1902, but I have just used a T1942 runnin...

Re: FortiusAnt for using old USB trainers with modern software (TDA) needing Ant+

Thanks for the link to the manual, I have been looking at this on and off for quite a while now there is a simple manual I will give it a go. Ordered 2 dongles going to try with Golden Cheetah see if this is more reliable than the direct USB connection method.

Re: goldencheetah

Re: goldencheetah

I use both GC and TTS4 with a Fortius trainer. TTS4 is better for this old wired trainer and GC is a little tricky to set up for this model. Supposedly it works well with all the smart trainers. After saying that the help and response to issues is fantastic. I am using the latest snapshot build spec...

Re: TTS4 License Server - It Works at Least For Now - But Not After March 1

Just as an update, Garmin support were very slow but completely reasonable in my opinion. They have no intention of releasing license codes but have given me a 1 year subscription to the new product. I'd rather have my original Blu-rays working but this is a good compromise. A reasonable outcome fo...

Quite possibly and we couldn't really blame TACX for not being compatible with something that did not exist... it would also make the Garmin "Lie" that TTS does not work with Windows 10 become the truth ;)

Re: How to make Fortius & TTS work with new owner?

I have read elsewhere that "sometimes" the software can be activated by using the serial number as the authenticator code that would have been sent from the TTS server... I have not tried this as my install is working but maybe worth a try?
I think you have to register it "offline"
