I'm running the latest version, 4.0.7, and I'd noticed that if I sync my Flight Record, everything updates with a new Total Distance, Flight Time, etc. However, if I then sync again, without flying or doing anything else, the Total Distance increases by 11, and if I sync again, the Total Distance increases by 11 more. Everything else seems to remain unchanged. So it would seem that I am logging 11 meters of flight distance just for syncronizing? :-)

We can call it the Spinal Tap bug :-)

Sounds good.
I think that when the servers update it would go back to the correct distance.
We'll see what they say though.

Okay, I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens...

I have an Ipad Mini 4 and I had already synced earlier but just tried it again a few times and nothing changed so I don't think it is a bug in the app.

I should've probably provided that info: iPhone 7, iOS 10.3.1. I can still increase my Total Distance in the app by 11m every time I sync between flights. The Flight distance here on my forum profile seems to remain unchanged (more than the app). This is, in itself, interesting...

Weird, also running iPhone 7 latest iOS and can't replicate your problem. I'm using imperial measurements, though.

That is weird. I'll try deleting my local records.

Cleared my local flight records, and all is working as it should. I assume that there is no way of getting the local records back?

As far as I know  you have synced to DJI's server and you can sync again and they should return. You have only deleted your local records. I did it last night trying to see why my video is not being cached on my iPad running Go4 4.0.7. Got my records back but still haven't got videos recording to my ipad.

It would appear that when I clear my local flight records, they're gone locally. All values except my "Growth of Value" go to 0. Multiple sync attempts change nothing. Maybe this is expected behavior?

I think it must be - just did it again on mine and it did that also.
