Just joined VZfit and I also agree that auto-steer should be an option as I am having trouble with re-orienting myself back in the correct direction if I create a custom ride and don't lean enough to make a turn. Once I'm facing the wrong position with my Oculus Go there's no way to get back on track. Previously, I read you could switch bike directions in the menu, but it doesn't appear on my latest version of the app that I have on my Go or the Quest.
I also tried Explorer with my Oculus Quest and it worked better by using my head tilt to handle the turns, but in the realm of VR, its useful to simulate real riding, but at the same time, for those of us who just want a work out and have a fun riding experience, I'm ok with auto-pilot / auto-steer so I can just focus on pedaling. I find myself spending all my time preparing for turns so I don't get off track rather than enjoying my ride.
Currently, I'm using my own Wahoo Cadence sensor and it seems that every time I start up the app on my headset (both Oculus Go or Oculus Quest), I have to re-register my cadence sensor. Not sure if this is typical behavior, or if it is a glitch, so please advise. During the handshaking / verification of the account with the sensor, I pedal to connect the cadence sensor but then always have to go to register with code before I can start my session, which is a pain if you have to do this each time. I decided to use my own cadence sensor because I had read that the original one from VZfit chews through lithium batteries fairly quickly so since this cadence sensor works fine for Zwift and my other apps, I wanted to use this one instead. Not sure if the sensor connects via ANT+ or bluetooth, but wondering if there's a unique code sent every time I connect up to the app that is causing this issue.
As a new user / member, I thought it was a bit strange that for the VZFit game section you have the option to stream radio stations, but on the VZfit explorer, there's not the same option. When you are riding scenic views, most of the time that's where you need music the most, so if you can integrate the radio station option that you have in the VZFit games into the Explorer for regular rides, that would be great.
On the positive note, I am enjoying the riding games as they are turning out to be more fun than the explorer rides so far. Keep up the great work, and if you could just simply add autosteer to the explorer rides or the custom rides, that would keep me using the app and renewing my subscription.
