As someone in an earlier post suggested I downloaded the Bigringvr trial version to compare with Rouvy, it has some good features and the videos while not as numerous as Rouvy's are of great quality. I'm an inexperienced virtual cyclist but a very experienced outdoor cyclist and the power/speed and grade simulation in Bigringvr is much closer to real world than Rouvy. I also find the transition as the grade increases to be very abrupt in Rouvy, it feels like the app makes the trainer clamp down very suddenly which is very unrealistic and actually causes an instant of wheel slip. The same transitions in Bigring are much smoother and feel more natural. I'm still unsure if this is completely an issue with the Rouvy software or if the Kurt Kinetic Control just doesn't play well with Rouvy's app
