elapsedDistance incorrect when playing back a .fit in the sim

(Having weird errors from the forum - sorry about the multiple parts!)

o The Environment:
win10, 2.2.4 SDK,Neon.2

o A detailed description of the issue
I first saw this with my own apps but replicated it using a slightly modified version of RecordingSample. Fit files used were both recorded using smart recording. One is about 2 miles, and the other is a 5k (about 3 miles). The 2 mile one only showed about 0.65 miles in the sim.

o Steps to reproduce the issue

Start the app in the sim. (I was using the va-hr as a target), Under Simulation, select the .fit to play back. Then simulate pressing menu to start recording. While running the distance in miles is displayed in the sim, and the raw info from Activity.Info.elpasedDistance is in the console window, with both updating every second.Wait for the .fit to end (red dot in the sim) and observe the distances.

o A code sample that can reproduce the issue (in email only if preferred)

I'll just email a .zip of the project and the .fit files

Thanks Jim. We've also heard from several that are having issues with the forums and the forums team is looking into that.

Just to add what I noted in the original thread on this:

I've established the bug seems to be when in statute units on the simulator (i've not tried metric) the distance retrieved from info.elapsedDistance is in feet rather than metres.

at 6:46 my activity is at 1600m (0.99 miles)

The displayed distance is 0.31 miles

0.31 * (3.28084 feet in a meter) = 1.0 miles.

Good catch! In the case I posted, it looks to be the same. If I adjust to meters, the distance is correct. .65*3.2=2 miles

This still appears to be broken, was this ever fixed?

This issue has not been addressed at this time. I'll try and get the priority bumped.

Thanks, it would be appreciated as it's a year old now and it's a very useful feature (or could be) that saves me having to go out and run 20 miles to test an app.

Do the Garmin dev team use the same simulator or have they got their own method of testing against known fit files?

I spoke with Brian and we believe that this issue was fixed recently. I ran the test app with the 3.0 simulator and the activities displayed 5212.2m (3.239mi) and 3291.4m (2.044mi).
