Distance calculation of FMC still incorrect by magnitudes
A simple flightplan: KSBA SLC KSUN.
Real world distance 730 nm.
MFD: 5380 nm
FMC: 10159 nm
How can something like this slip through?

Further testing shows, it is only that route pair with SLC in between. I don't know why.
I tested KACV HOCUT5 FOT DCT OAK DCT RZS DCT KSBA which is fine.
The rest also looks promising

This looks like you've picked the SLC VOR in Slovakia.
KSBA DCT SLC (Sliac VOR) is 5380nm.
