Can more Difficulty levels be added?

[smullins_us]

Good evening,

I think right now, the difficulty levels range from 1 to 8. I utilize "1" frequently on downhills and "5" to "8" on uphills and higher altitudes. I also increase my real-world trainer magnetic resistance on the uphills to 5, 8, 12 or even up to a maximum "16" (out of the saddle on the latter ones). Conversely, on the downhills or flat areas, I use magnetic resistance between "2" to "6." I sure could use some additional difficulty levels above "8" in the simulation - visually (and mph) I am simply moving too fast on some of these steeper hills. In the real-world for some of these hills or mountain climbs, I would not be able to go 18 to 21 mph. Slowing the simulation speed down further would help balance things out.

Also, when I hit higher elevations in the real-world, I have to start slowing down on uphills - some around 5,000 to 8,500 and lots around 10,200 and above.

Thanks for considering this.

v/r,

Thanks for the suggestion Steve. It wouldn't hurt us to go to 10, but nobody has ever asked that we make VZfit _harder_ before!

If I am out of the saddle on level 15 or 16, magnetic resistance, for steeper terrain, mountain climb, visually moving slower would feel far more realistic. I would only be moving at perhaps 3 to 8 miles per hour. The same holds true after about 7,500 feet or so. My heart rate can be racing after 10,000 feet and I have to drastically slow down.

Perhaps this is a small enhancement that some people may not appreciate. Just trying to add to the realism.

The new beta testing build goes up to difficulty 10 So should be available soon.

Thank you!
