useSimulatedSpeed

[alberto crespi]

hello everyone

I'm trying to get a Kettler Racer 9 to work on gpx file

I need to use or calculate virtualspeed from slope but why

in TrainSidebar::TrainSidebar at line 187 there is this

useSimulatedSpeed = false;

this value is impossible to change from checkbox

value = false always overwrite checkbox

Hi, I don't know what version are you looking, in current master the line you reference is 101:

https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/blob/1b21c6a4fc03819324de6d27eb635ba4bc5688d1/src/Train/TrainSidebar.cpp#L101 

but then it is modified by configChanged() which is called to complete initialization and on each config change:

https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/blob/1b21c6a4fc03819324de6d27eb635ba4bc5688d1/src/Train/TrainSidebar.cpp#L689

You should set Simulate Speed from Power on https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/UG_Preferences_Training

sorry line is151 not 187

useSimulatedSpeed = false;

this make value = false the only possible in the rest of code

After setting the "simulate speed from power" checkbox in  https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/UG_Preferences_Training  page,  have you clicked the save button ?

[alberto crespi]

I have saved correctly

the problem is code in traisidebar never check this selection

useSimulatedSpeed is coded to false and checkbox value never tested

It is not in current master... Again, what source code are you referring to? 

[alberto crespi]

in master branch

https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/blob/master/src/Train/TrainSidebar.cpp

line 101

Ok, not 187, not 151, but 101 as I said in my first response which you, evidently, didn't read...

Please read it, Here I explained how useSimulatedSpeed is updated.
