This is driving me nuts. I am do a test flight and am noticing that when it is flying it is off tracking to the right by half a mile then when the point is reached it goes back on course. Any suggestions here?

I was doing the test flight to get used to the AC, but it don't matter now Steve since I will be reinstalling FSX over the course of the next few weeks. Got way too much junk on it

I finally got this fixed from something I read on AVSIM not under the MD-11 but the 747 section. Seems that this is a real problem for a while. I want to share so those that are having the same issue can get it resolved.
1. download and run as admin the Flight1 Registry tool
2. on the desktop create a folder called MagDec and inside create a folder called Scenery
3. Look in the FSX folder for Scenery then scroll down to the Base sub-directory then choose the Scenery Folder.
4. Copy the magdec.bgl file from there to the newly created MagDec\Scenery folder.
5. place the MagDec folder in the Addon Scenery Folder.
6. Load FSX and go in and activate the new area and make sure that it is at position 1
