Your in-game speed is based on your exercise effort. There are 2 modes:
Bike Sim Mode: Your in-game speed is directly based on your cycling speed (e.g., cycling at 20km/h will result in 200km/h in the game).
Flight Sim Mode: Your exercise effort controls the plane's throttle.
Not at all! In Bike Sim mode, the plane's controls are greatly simplified. Altitude is controlled automatically and one cannot crash.
Sightseer is a companion program included free to make the workout even more interesting. As you explore the world, it automatically identifies points of interest ahead of you like mountains, lakes, and landmarks.
When you reach these locations, it displays a picture and a description, and can even provide an AI voice summary about the point of interest.
Your in-game speed is based on your exercise effort. There are 2 modes:
Bike Sim Mode: Turns the game into a cycling simulation. You move at the speed a bike would move (based on power input, in-game incline, etc.).
Fun Mode: You control the car's throttle with your exercise effort. You can play through the game normally and get fit at the same time.
Yes! PlayLetics is designed to make your training more fun and engaging so that you spend more time on the trainer.
Besides that, all features needed for serious training—structured workouts, comprehensive statistics, goal tracking—are available.

These offer full control over all games, and also enable you to operate virtual shifting.
These are sufficent to control games in Bike sim mode, and operate virtual shifting.
For both!
Cyclists can use Bike Sim Mode, which turns the games into cycling simulations: you move through the game worlds at realistic cycling speeds (or multiples thereof). Terrain incline and your weight are taken into account, so your speed is simulated realistically. Structured workouts and Erg mode are also available for serious training.
Gamers can simply play through the games as usual, with their exercise effort woven directly into the gameplay in real time — the harder you pedal, the stronger and faster your character becomes, or the quicker they heal.
A used non-smart exercise bike paired with an inexpensive cadence sensor gets you started for very little money.
Combine that with a game that doesn't require a powerful PC — The Crew 2, for example, looks great even on older machines.
Very likely, yes. PlayLetics supports the FTMS and FE-C over BLE protocols, and most smart trainers released in recent years use one of them.
Not necessarily. Some of the supported games — The Crew 2, for example — run perfectly fine on weaker machines.
Yes. On Steam you can refund any game within 14 days of purchase as long as you have played it for less than 2 hours — plenty of time to see whether you enjoy it together with PlayLetics.
In addition, many of the supported games regularly get free trial weekends on Steam, so keep an eye out for those.
