BikeControl 6.2 is now available (Windows Store will take another 1-3 days) with new features:

• Virtual front derailleur: adds a second chainring (2× drivetrain) for more realism. The new assignable "Front Shift (Chainring)" action toggles between your small and large rings, changing resistance by the exact chainring ratio while staying on the same rear cog.
• SRAM style shifting: when you click shift up & down at the same time, the front chainring switches
• iOS / iPadOS: Floating gear overlay (Picture-in-Picture): your current gear can now show in a floating window over your trainer app during a ride.
• Screen recording: a new assignable "Record Screen" action starts a screen recording from a controller button.

Watch the video for a short introduction :)

Some fixes made for BikeControl are now available in MyWhoosh 5.8.0, mostly resolving around IPV6 issues mentioned here:
https://bikecontrol.app/issues/6d732855-f2f1-4c7e-882d-512062273961

Can you kindly verify that it works? It does so on my Windows machine, but you never know 

The issue was also reported by iOS and Android users, so I'm hopeful it will now work as well.

With the help of Sander, a user of BikeControl, I was finally able to find a solution so your Zwift Click V2 no longer requires unlocking with Zwift every 24 hours:

• the right controller works perfectly
• the left controller needs a quick restart every minute (or you unlock it with Zwift like before)

So my recommendation for now is to use the right controller only and customize it so gear shifting is on that controller.

This is available with BikeControl 6.0.0 (available on all platforms, iOS needs 1-2 more days) for Pro users, and will be available for everyone once some feedback is collected :)

Glad to finally offer a solution for this.

P.S.: Never update your Zwift controller firmware, unless it's recommended by BikeControl!

Virtual Shifting overlay:
- on macOS, Windows, and Android you can now show the Smart Trainer gear & more on top of your trainer app, when using the virtual shifting functionality introduced in 5.4.0
- on iOS the gears can be shown as part of the Dynamic Island / Live Activity functionality

Virtual Shifting:
- Support for virtual shifting for devices without FTMS:
- FE-C over BLE devices (e.g. Tacx trainers)
- fix for Zwift ready Smart Trainers
- new Cadence filter setting to suppress sensor spikes that cause resistance pulses

After months of work I'm happy to release BikeControl 5.4:

• control and fully customize virtual shifting for your trainer
• add support for virtual shifting where the trainer apps (Zwift & Rouvy) do not support it natively
• adjust workout intensity on the fly
• start a mini workout
• and much more - check out the blog below

Virtual Shifting is in Beta state - and as always, happy to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
