Hey Roberto, so as we discovered before, the settings in the QZ app are not the same for Kinomap as they are for Zwift. After a ton of trial and error I have found QZ app settings that should make Kinomap work for most if not all people (At least for Echelon users, but hopefully others too), so please post this on your "How To" web page so that others, especially Echelon Users, will be able to benefit from the results, and again, as always, a major thanks to no end for creating this app for all of us to enjoy our fitness routines all the more!!!

First, when using Kinomap, the user needs to make sure that in the "Training" settings, both "Rate of Resistance Change" and "Maximum Slope" have to be maxed at at 15% otherwise the following settings will not work.

In the QZ app in "Bike Settings"you have to TURN OFF "Zwift Workout/Erg Mode" otherwise the next following Bike Settings will not work.

There are two settings profiles for "Video" Virtual Rides and for "Structured Workouts"

QZ app "Bike Settings" for "Video" Virtual Rides: Along with Zwift Workout/Erg Mode turned off, you need to set the "Zwift Resistance Offset" to "16" and the "Zwift Resistance Gain" to "0.65". The other options of " Zwift Erg Up Filter" and Zwift Erg Down Filter" can be both set as 10, just like for Zwift, but I'm not sure that it impacts anything. The final setting of "Resistance at Start-up" is whatever resistance level the user wants to start with, but it will have no bearing on the actual exercise program.

QZ app "Bike Settings" for "Structured Workouts" : Along with Zwift Workout/Erg Mode turned off, you need to set the "Zwift Resistance Offset" to "0" and the "Zwift Resistance Gain" to "0.08" . The other options of " Zwift Erg Up Filter" and Zwift Erg Down Filter" can be both set as 10, just like for Zwift, but I'm not sure that it impacts anything. The final setting of "Resistance at Start-up" is whatever resistance level the user wants to start with, but it will have no bearing on the actual exercise program.

Along with those QZ app settings for "Structured Workouts" the user can only choose "Resistance" programs in Kinomap and NOT FTP, WATT or SLOPE for the programs to automatically change the resistance properly.

Again, these settings definitely work for Echelon users with a max of 32 resistance, but hopefully they'll work for others. If not, I'm sure a couple slight changes will make it work for others too.
