Direto power smoothing

[Westmatix]

Tried adjusting power smoothing from default to 6 and whilst it made power more smooth it has made 200w more like 300w . Has anyone else had this or found a way to have a smoother power reading?

Hi,

I am struggeling as well with the power smoothing.... have you find out which setting is the correct one?

Will it also affect the performance on Zwift? 8% on myetraining feels more heavy when riding 8% on Zwift....

looking forward for your experince

kind regards,

Wim

On zwift do you have the difficulty setting at 50% (default) or 100%.... Basically Zwift defaults to 50%, therefore an 8% climb is 4% (at 50%), and the same for downhills. Note that you still need the same power to go up at the same speed, it just feels like a lesser gradient. They have reasons whey they use 50%, I've left it there. But you can go in a change it yourself if you want the inclines and downhills to feel more realistic.

I am keen to hear what smoothing setting people are using on the Direto.
