Netathlon / Kettler questions

Hi folks,

I've had a Kettler ErgoRacer for some time and just got the Netathlon software for it - really neat, much better than the built-in programs obviously.

But 2 things I'm trying to figure out:

1) Is there a way to control the load (watts) from Netathlon? It seems impossible to do a recovery ride with it, watts are always up there. I lowered the weight in my profile by 50% and its a bit better but still... anyone know what the logic for controlling the load is (besides grade)?

2) The sparse Netathlon documentation says that the ErgoRacer supports a joystick / game controller that can be used for shifting (which should take care of the first issue as well). Does anyone have the details for this?

Do I need to buy a special cable from Kettler? Their documentation / site is not the best either.

Thanks in advance!
