This release adds a new feature that brings the social aspect of Zwift to RoadCaptain: route sharing!

You can now share the routes you create in Route Builder with other Zwifters that use RoadCaptain as well as browse routes that other Zwifters have created 🎉🎉

Read more about how it works on the RoadCaptain site.

Route Builder

The Route Builder main screen got an overhaul which makes it easier to manage routes that you created earlier.
When you start Route Builder you'll be presented with the sport & world selection as well as a list of all the routes you've created:

Route Builder landing page

That means that you can now quickly:

  • Create a new route
  • Choose to edit one of your existing routes
  • Search a route created by someone else from the list at roadcaptain.nl
  • Open a route file from your local disk (importing a route from Zwift Map also works!)

You can now also delete a route by clicking the trash can icon.

And these other changes

  • Add a menu item to go to the documentation on roadcaptain.nl
  • It is now possible to import a route from Zwift Map into Route Builder. This saves you a lot of work to rebuild a route to make it work for RoadCaptain.
  • The color scheme of the elevation profile has been changed to provide much clearer indication of the grade
  • When creating a route, Route Builder no longer will attempt to create a loop for segments that join back on the previous segment. This especially happened for routes summiting on mountain tops in Watopia.
  • When creating a route and Route Builder detects that you selected a segment that can create a loop, it will now ask you what type of loop you want. You can choose between No loop, Infinite loop or Constrained loop where the last one allows you to specify how many times you want to do the loop before exiting it:

  • When creating a route and the route already contains a loop, Route Builder now no longer asks to create a further loop
  • When creating a route with a loop, the segment list now indicates the loop mode (fixed number or infinite) and the number of loops:

    Clicking the indicator allows you to change the loop settings.
  • Route Builder now asks you where to save your route, this can be a local file, your local repository or the shared route repository at roadcaptain.nl:

World updates

  • [London] is now available in Beta. See #17 for updates
  • [Makuri Islands] The Urakazi segments are now available to build and ride.
  • [Makuri Islands] Makuri Islands is out of beta!

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the route direction would be incorrect for segments that connect back to themselves.
  • Fixed the turns for the Fuego Flats turnaround
  • Fixed an issue where Route Builder wanted to authenticate to Zwift even when saving the route to a local file. (See #120)

Runner

  • Windows only Zwift credentials will now be stored securely in the Credential Manager instead of keeping them in memory only. This reduces the amount of times you'll need to log in to Zwift
  • When entering a loop, the total distance is set to the distance of the loop.
  • Introduced a button to start the Route Builder

Elevation profile

When riding hit CTRL + E / META + E to toggle the Elevation Plot window. This will allow you to see the elevation and grade of the route you are riding which helps you to plan your effort much easier than having to squint at the elevation profile for the entire route.

The Elevation Plot window has a few different modes:

  • Show all: This shows the elevation profile for the entire route, an orange marker shows your position.
  • Moving-window: This shows the elevation profile from your current position to the next 500m.

You can also enable KOM segment auto-zoom which will show the elevation profile of the KOM segment when you are on that segment. This is great for pacing and planning a KOM attack! This mode works with both the Show all and Moving-window modes. When you complete the segment the elevation profile switches back to the mode you originally chose.

You can toggle the mode by clicking the elevation profile window and using CTRL + M / META + M.

Bug fixes

  • Resue the route after connection was lost. This should fix the remaining issue in #107
  • Fixed a bug where a crash would occur because the map animation would continue running when the rider is already in-game.
  • Fixed a bug where hitting CTRL + X / META + X in the in-game window when you are not yet in a game would not return to the main window.
  • The progress bar now resets when you start a new loop (See #117)

Breaking changes

  • Routes that contain a loop and a lead-out will never exit the loop onto the lead-out. RoadCaptain versions pre-0.7.0.0 did not have any option to set the number of times a loop should be entered and therefore RoadCaptain can't determine when the loop segments are "done".
