Hello,
i am using GC Development Build from January 2021 with a Tacx Vortex Smart T2180. When doing the device detection with "ANT+ and FE-C" the Vortex is recognized (paired) as Power, Speed+Cadence and Firness Equipment Control. All with the same ANT+ id.
Shouldn't it be recognized as "Tacx Vortex Smart" instead ?


Thanks,
Bernd

No, when a trainer supports FEC over ANT+ it doesn't need special support and all information it provides comes from the FEC channel, so you should not pair other sensors from the trainer (they are redundant) or select a virtual power curve (they are for dumb trainers).
