Thanks. I'll try your suggestions. Skymaxx cloud fidelity varies from day to day. Sometimes it is perfect and other times it is lousy. Seems to me that Skymaxx works better if the sim is restarted after setting the weather if the cloud cover is being increased and Skymaxx gets confused if the settings are modified in flight.

Using X-Plane 10.3 and the latest Skymaxx Pro, my iMac is unable to simulate fog. Even with the visibility set to zero and clouds down to the ground, visibility is still clear when viewed from above. Zero visibility doesn't take effect until the plane is almost on the ground. Clouds are transparent viewed from above. What settings will simulate fog and low overcast?

I'll try to attach a screenshot. The plane is over PHNL Honolulu on course to PHOG Maui. Notice the airports are on a different magnification scale from the landmass.

I have the same problem about 50% of the time I start up the Corvalis. The MFD GPS waypoints and airports appear on a different scale from the land masses. The waypoints appear about 1/5 as far away as they should. The only solution I've found is to close X-Plane and re-open. I have the latest version.

Excellent. It is working! The Corvalis is the best thing on X-Plane.

I see the improved lighting control but the PFD Nearest Airports window now shows no airports. Can I fix this and, if not, can I get the old Corvalis sim back?

I see the improved lighting control on the new Corvalis but the Nearest Airports window on the PFD is now showing no airports. Is this something I can fix or a glitch with the 1.5.2 version? If the latter, can I get the old Corvalis back?

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.

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.

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.

Apparently you won't or can't fix this problem on X-Plane 9. Perhaps you could enlighten us on the nature of the FMS problem. What is causing the problem? What can be done on '9' to minimize the problem. If I upgraded to X-Plane 10, can I use my current Corvalis program or will I need to purchase it again? Charles Roesch

The Corvalis GPS flight management system flaw continues to be a major nuisance. When will we get a fix? Will you notify us or do we need to search the website for a patch? Charley Roesch

Jim, I'm really looking forward to this update. Charley Roesch

I'm on X-Plane 9. Charley
