Tacx trainer software (TTS)
To use our RLVs with Tacx Training Software, we need two files :
A video file, such as BikelabRLV.avi
A route telemetry file, such as BikelabRLV.tts
You can place the BikelabRLV.avi anywhere you want on your hardisk, but the BikelabRLV.tts has to be place on a specific folder on your harddisk.
This folder is hidden by default, it's necessary to make it visible.
