Yeah, the limiting factor for me is the internet speed. I think I get somewhere around 25Mbps down/5 up.
Mac user invites finally started to go out. Got mine this morning. Mac + KICKR + USB2 seemed to be the combo that got me in.
That begs the question… can I not use Bluetooth instead of USB2?
Found the answer to my question in there support section of their website. BT coming soon.
I’d prefer this as well…plenty of processing power, already connected to a big screen, and ethernet internet…
Got the email that Mac invites were going out. Mac + Jet Fluid Pro/Quarq hasn’t gotten me an invite yet
I got in right away with nothing really special. ANT+ Powermeter, Windows, Cycleops Trainer. Are they starting to open it up to more people now?
It’s just being released for those of us on Mac OS X
.
Guys, thanks for the patience. I think we’ll open the taps on the OSX invites this week. Powermeter people will almost certainly be in the first batches. We’ve had over 10,000 miles logged so far by beta testers on the Mac version and while it’s not perfect it’s pretty solid for beta.
Do you have a list of the unlockables or achievements available somewhere or do we have to toil until we happen to stumble across the achievements?
I got one the other day for Sprint power output but it’d be nice to have some goals to aim for…
Just wanted to say…Zwift is freaking awesome. It makes me want to go get on the trainer and ride, rather than dreading it. Great job!!!

I actually posted about this asking the same thing in the “Zwift Riders” Facebook group. Mostly everyone said that it’s just about leveling up (logging more miles) and some jerseys/wheels come with the more miles. Others mentioned that there’s various unlockables for breaking certain wattage numbers, certain speed barriers, etc.
Many agreed that they prefer the surprise factor but I personally would also like to have a list of the unlockables. There’s so many jerseys, bikes, and wheels that I have absolutely no clue what it takes to attain them.
Just got my invite last night. It didn’t specify Mac or PC, but my Macbook Pro will run the software.
I’m thinking it may be time for an upgrade. I’ve been itchin to build a gaming PC for a while now anyway.
Anyone else see Taylor Phinney kicking around on zwift yesterday? I did a first test run on the Mac after using it on the PC. It ran great though my ride file got split into 4 separate files. I have been a beta tester since the beginning and have been very impressed with the progress. Obviously some course variety (not just same course backwards would be better for training) but it will come I’m sure.
See I don’t even know how to get on the course backwards…
It was automatic for me. Yesterday for some reason it was reversed. Maybe they just switch it up every couple of days.
I was on last night and that was the same direction I’ve always had, so maybe I have just always ridden it in reverse? The direction I have always gone the last 300m to the finish is in between the buildings (counterclockwise around the island). Is that the normal or reverse direction?
Ah it used to be clockwise. So the sprint was off the flat as opposed to off the downhill.
everyone is going CCW right now. I saw on another forum that the last update they pushed through switched the direction (about a week ago?) and the only reason people woudl be going CW right now is if they started the program somehow without it completing the update first.
I need a faster GPU, so my machine always has troubles going around corners at high speed. The bummer is that it happens in the CCW direction right before the start of the green jersey zone.

We have a fix for this and it was supposed to go out last week, but showed some issues so I pulled it. Hopefully in the next update the lower end machines will steer a bit nicer.
Thanks!
Do you need people to take out tickets for issues like that?
