Base and Pro comparedConnecting TrainingPeaks Virtual to the trainer
TrainingPeaks Virtual doesn't pair with the ThinkRider XX Pro directly any more: it pairs with the trainer BikeControl publishes, over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. BikeControl keeps the connection to the ThinkRider XX Pro and changes its resistance when you shift, so TrainingPeaks Virtual needs no virtual shifting of its own.
TrainingPeaks Virtual actions on your controller
Shifting happens in BikeControl, but the other buttons can still control TrainingPeaks Virtual: its default mapping covers steer left and right, increase and decrease resistance, menu, pause, select, back, up, and toggle the on-screen UI, sent over Network, Bluetooth, or Local.
Platforms
TrainingPeaks Virtual on iPhone, iPad, Android, macOS, and Windows. BikeControl itself runs on iOS, iPadOS, Android, Windows and macOS.
Official support
TrainingPeaks Virtual supports BikeControl officially, with 28 mappable controller actions over Network or Bluetooth.
