Comment (by lutra):

 > We also can get raster (MrSID) aerials translated to  TIFF files and
 imported into QGIS, but when laying these over vector files with the same
 CRS (again WGS 84), they are separated by a  significant distance.  The
 imported TIFF aerial set with WGS 84 also seems to have an inaccurate
 scale. Not sure if this is a bug or a support issue.

 > In summary we can not get aerials, regular vector files, and GPS vector
 files to overlay without having either a CRS issue or a scale issue. Any
 suggestions on protocol.

 plug in problem with KORE and Mac OSX. Thanks again.





 A) have you considered compiling/installing qgis with support for mrsid
 and ecw files? It is now pretty easy under linux/windows, I don't know
 under OsX, but compiling should be always possible.

 B) How did you transformed the mrsid files? are you sure that are geotiffs
 or they have the companion worldfile?
