Simulator continues to run after playing back a .fit file

So, it looks like this one is actually something else.  The odd behavior that I'm seeing has something to do with lack of time and distance fidelity in the simulator.   I'll write that one up with lots of details.

I didn't know about the green dot in the simulator.   Thats very helpful.

Ideally, the simulator would do a 'Timer Stop' at the end of the .fit file, just like a real person would.

I guess for a DF, the sim could do a "recording stop" at the end of the file, but that wouldn't word for device apps, as they control the recording,.

Yes, that's the way it works.  There's actually no way for the end of a .fit file to tell an app in the sim the file is done, and this wouldn't happen on a real device.  The dot in the lower right sim window indicates what's going on though (red=file ended).  When the file is ended, you have to end things in the sim in the same way you start them.

I've never seen the "generated data" you mention.  Things like timers will keep running until you stop the recording though, and if they are used to calculate things, I can see those values changing too.
