The 'Unofficial' Tacx Forum

My old polar (which is coded) works fine and has done for many years! As I recall, even though the Polar (probably a T31) sends a coded signal, a non-coded 5 KHz receiver can still receive it. The Polar T31 has undergone changes over the years, but I think this is how the older ones worked. I do no...

Bypass the shortcut application and open the TTS executable directly - then we can see what's in the logs. As for the previous log you listed, the following line suggests a graphics incompatibility. This could be from from a number of things, incapable graphics card, DirectX issue *video drivers, e...

A lot of these errors seem related to web services that no longer exist, but I don't know what to say. Most people now make a shortcut to the TTS executable and bypass the update executable. Hi yes I have done that on my in use copy... after a couple of days messing about it seems that it is the vi...

Last chance here is the TTS LOG file [INFO 2020/07/05 10:48:25:1625] TRAINERSOFTWARE: Version: 4.23.0.0 - Build date: Thursday, June 28, 2018 12:05:40 PM UTC [INFO 2020/07/05 10:48:25:1625] TRAINERSOFTWARE: Started application.

Really have no idea what is going on. For me, TTS is headed to the dustbin. It may already be there. Did you install the 4.23.1 update? Actually I quite like TTS.... and I like the fact that I own it and have a good collection of films. I cannot really move on without a new trainer as Fortius wont ...

I am running windows 10... strange it works fine with RLV BUT will not open VR or catalyst. VR goes to TACX cyclist "splash screen" then exits back to the Main TTS window. Catalyst just bombs out of TTS completely. I have tried installing as stated above and copied files from 1 PC to anot...

Thanks... happy to host a copy of this on my "site" if required. www.mickdrake.com
I have a section on my recreational cycling

I sent a message to Nic. The error is on one of the prerequisite programs and not TTS itself. Hopefully, Nic can run the compression again and get it fixed. Thanks I noted that as well but thought that maybe more problematic than the TTS4 software as I believe I can just copy that directly from my ...

Hi before my installation PC dies I decided to "test" installing TTS4 on another PC. I downloaded from the pinned link however I get an error when extracting the .ZIP file. I have tried using WinZip and WinRar both return the same error that the file is corrupt. Just downloaded again to a...

Garmin offered me 20% off any new hardware... You ask about open source "Golden Cheetah" has a train mode that allows you to play your TTS AVI films with the TTS file... there has been a lot of work on this recently. It works with older trainers like my fortius but only in ERG mode (Cataly...

Read this post on the "other" forum... I may have a go at this as you say using the old tools was cumbersome. I have some video just need to find the GPX files that go with them.....

The 8 speed information is contrary to an earlier response that said * speed Shimano would be fine but not Campag as the spline pattern was changed.. TBH I dont know

I also have a lot of old tech that is eventually not able to be used or superseded.. the issue that I think we all have is we bought a license for TTS4 advances (two in my case) which may be useless if I have any issues with my hardware. It not the lack of support its the removal of the license serv...

"even if i think abandoning your old customers is loathsome." Hi Eric we have had this conversation before... not sure it was TACX who were always VERY helpful with their one to one support especially with some issues with the motorbrake not being recognised with some "updates".....

Thank you

I'm sure I have read on this forum somewhere (cannot find it now) how to switch off the checking that takes place when you start TTS.. new version etc.. I have turned off news inside the program.. can anyone point me to the relevant post TIA

I have been told that if the PC has the same name then the license key will work... I dont know if that is true and I dont have another PC to rename and try it..... As a backup I am trying to use Golden Cheetah which has a "train mode". Installing the USB drivers is tricky as they are unsi...

Sorry, that was meant as tongue-in-cheek as it was me pointing out my own OCD tendencies.

No problem no offence taken....

Thanks for the info re 8 speed cassette I thought the minimum for a Neo was 10. 8-speed drive train on a trainer bike - that would drive me crazy since it does not match my road bike . :D So if you have Campagnolo 8-speed drive train, then the issue is that the freehub spline pattern was changed fr...

I have a Fortius and TBH don't ride enough to justify the expenditure on a new trainer, I have an almost new Fortius (boxed) in my loft in case any parts break as spares are silly prices... Thanks for the info re 8 speed cassette I thought the minimum for a Neo was 10. We have 2 licences for TTS4 AD...

I have contacted Garmin 6 times by continually keeping my "Ticket" open by replying to their response to try to get some resolution to activation of software.. Absolutely no satisfactory response at all. I have 2 films not activated so its not the end of the world but it is irritating ! I ...

It sounds like they are trying to do something to accommodate users with older non-Smart trainers. Perhaps they have a system for clearing certain IP addresses. If they are doing this, that would be a good thing. Maybe at some point, they will bite the bullet and just release TTS for free use the s...

Strange thing today, Susan tried to ride one of her licensed RLV and it asked for license key which we have but cannot validate it as we know the server is no longer available. Tried another RLV which worked.. went back to the other that then also worked. I found some information from Alex on how t...
