Flight Planner/Routing

[irish3 2]

Using the in-game flight planner has me somewhat puzzled in it's logic.Example: flying from KBLV (Scott AFB) to EGUL (Lakenheath AB). The route takes me due North, then WEST for 1,000 miles (so it seemed),then back EAST, over the polar route.It would make more sense to fly North towards Newfoundland, then East towards the U.K.Also, is it possible to change this routing before I depart, or can that be domne once airborne?The acft I am using is FSD C-17, so nothing fancy panel wise.Thanks,irish3

:( Disregard, I see the error of my ways. Should have used the DIRECT TO, vs the high alt route...cuts about 4 hrs off the routing...old habits I guess.irish3
