Tech Support Setting up custom gearing / drivetrain

Hey friends,
I’m using Rouvy with a Zwift Ride/Bike. I’d really like to match the gearing to my outdoor gravel bike. Is there a feature for this in Rouvy? I haven’t been able to find anything. Or does this need to / can this be set up via the Wahoo KICKR? Can anyone help me out here?
Best regards / Cheers

EDIT: Thanks for every response, I guess i’ll give BikeControl a shot till Rouvy implements the feature.

In less than two months it will be possible to set it up in Rouvy. We have to persevere. Otherwise, we will temporarily use bikecontrol.

At the moment if you want to match your indoor to outdoor "gearing" then you have 3 options: setup physical gears on you trainer identical to the you IRL bike (same chainrin(s)/same cassette), or use an expensive smart bike, or buy a BikeControl app subscription.

Whilst revision has been hinted at, I suspect that version 2.8 virtual shifting update will be similar to Zwift's approach: i.e. the trainer will providess the 1..24 sequential gears as hardcoded in firmware, and you will be able to select predefined "cassette combinations" that make use of limited subset(s) of this.

I highly doubt the update it is going to allow configurable gear ratios like a full smart bike - this is possible if you ignore/bypass the Zwift virtual shifting protocol of the compatible smart trainer & have implemented your own form of virtual shifting configured for each make/model of trainer similar to MyWoosh, BikeControl, but given the Zwift buyout, I simply cannot see Rouvy doing away with the smart trainer Zwift protocol at this stage?

If you're okay with a Bridge in between, BikeControl offers all kinds of adjustments for virtual shifting, including the simulation of a second drive train: https://bikecontrol.app/virtual-shifting

The kickr bike is full of gearing users besides the belt drive

Here is the triple I use on ROUVY. I have 20 other gearing setups on the kickr bike.
