So after about 3 months without actively flying in FS I decided to get some time up again.

I set up as usual and connect at my latest airport KSEA.
As I'm completely setup to start recording the flight through ACARS it tells me I'm 2558NM away from KSEA.....what?
After many FS restarts and ACARS restarts problem still persisted and I was getting a weird MyLat MyLong red message, my FSUIPC is the most current per Pete Dawsons site.

This has never happened before, also the PAX and cargo loading feels weird, I can only control PAX as a number on the main screen but not cargo, and I don't quite yet get how the "Increase" or "Decrease" PAX and Cargo load works, since I press it only once and it is grayed out.

Any ways to fix it? Download and install ACARS over?
Thanks in advance boys!

Type .update to pull down a new set of data files - this is likely because the number format of the data files is different in the stock install than your localization settings.
