I have just purchased the BKool simulator to work alongside the BKool Pro. Just finding my way around the site.
I can see routes, workout, velodrome etc. How do I get graphics of road rather than just the 2 dimensional outline of route which show inclines, declines.
I will complete FTP and hope that this have progressive plan?
Any other tips or advice will be much appreciated

Schedule yourself a session (ride) say alpe d'huez which you do via the online site
then open the app select your scheduled ride
make sure your trainer and HR monitor are synced (need ANT+ dongle) I cant get bluetooth to sync
when you start the ride on a computer the right and left arrows will toggle btw the options(video, 2d and 3d) the up and down arrows will make the number graphics bigger etc, you can find this under the dropdown menu "controls"
perhaps not all the "rides" have video
I am still on the free trial basis.
search filter is a little flakey.0 -

I had a try with it today using the new iPad. It detected all my sensors and the Elite Kura's power meter, but when it came to doing a FTP test, it just kept looking for sensors. Seems it doesn't like Bluetooth. I had intended trying it with the Windows PC and ANT+ connection, but did a FTP test on Swift instead having got bored trying to get BKool to work.I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.0

I had a try with a desk top PC using Windows 10 and ANT+ connection. I gave up after it recorded mileage going backwards and was intermittent with detecting cadence, heart rate and power meter despite a USB extension putting the ANT+ dongle right underneath the bike. Zwift it is for me I'm afraid.I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.0
