Elite Qubo Digital Interactive/Smart B+

Anyone know what profile I should use for my trainer: Elite Qubo Digital Interactive (Smart B+ seems to be the same version)?
It is not in the list

Use the Elite Qubo Fluid profile in Isaac.

Hi John,

It seems like the power profile for the Qubo Fluid is much different than what i have since mine is magnetic.
I tried editing another trainer that is closer to the power curve (attached image) but having a hard time since the entire curve shifts when i adjust the slider
so I was wondering if you guys can just add this new trainer if its easy.

You will see the power curve reference here in elite website: (http://www.elite-it.com/en/products/gb/ ... al-smart-b)
and i attached it myself also.

I really REALLY appreciate the help since my FTP (20min) in Zwift is 27% lower (without calibrating the trainer) that what I seem to produce outdoors using the powerpod so I am curious which one is reporting more accurately.

The curve you supplied shows min and max values.

Where are you actually operating the trainer? (What setting)

I am using whatever the default setting is.
If "where" you mean physical location, I workout in the basement with a fan so it should be cooling enough.

As I read online, this trainer has bad power readings when uncalibrated so I am planning to recalibrate it with the powerpod in hopes that at least the power it reports
is in the ballpark of what I see when i bike outside using the PowerPod.

I researched more and found this article helpful and the author actually mapped out the power values.

I screen shotted the map for convenience. I hope you guys can help! TY

Come to think of it while testing another a trainer profile. I do not think PowerPod will work on a smart trainer is that correct because it cannot measure the resistance.
I notice this because my power is definitely not right when it the trainer is putting resistance.

The Tacx Satori (Level 3) in Isaac is extremely close to the power curve in this figure.

If your trainer is varying resistance through the ride, then PP cannot "follow" the variations in resistance.
