The new X-Plane 10 Corvalis indeed appeared to fix the GPS/FMS problem.  But now on my Mac, only occasionally, the waypoints and flight plan on the MFD appear to be on a different scale from the land masses.  Appears to be a qualitative not quantitative problem as the two are WAY off from each other.  This is cured by closing out X-Plane and restarting.  But the Corvalis is still the classiest thing on X-Plane.

If you can recreate this consistently, lease send me the steps to do so and I will look into it.

This seems to happen about 50% of the time I boot up X-Plane Corvalis.  I do it the same every time so it appears to be random chance.  I have screenshots to show you but I don't know how to post them here.  The waypoints display on a very wide scale while the land masses and range circle are on a much tighter scale.

Thanks.  I'll try it.  The first screenshot shows PHLI Lihue, Kuaui, Hawaii.  The airport is slightly out in the water but it's pretty close.  I call this 'normal'.  The second is PHNL Honolulu, Hawaii.  The destination is PHOG Maui but notice the GPS waypoints are no where near their correct land mass positions.  The range circle agrees with the landmasses but the GPS plot appears to be on a different scale.  The only solution I've found is to shut down X-Plane and re-boot.

It would be helpful to se before AND after screenshots for comparison.
