I realised yesterday that I am unable to make a transatlantic flight plan from Europe to North America regardless of departure and/or arrival points without having a flight plan made by MSFS9 going through ADREW intersection (somewhere in Alaska I believe), which of course is unacceptable and creates problems with FMC airplanes which will reject the flight plan EVEN if you amend it manually to make it realistic and according to published transatlantic routes, the FMC keeps the original distance and computes the fuel range accordingly, i.e. including ADREW even after you deleted it.Is there a way to circumvent this problem and if so how?Note: No such problems for trans pacific flights, intra american or intra european flights. I could write a Tokyo-Frankfurt, Los Angeles-Tokyo flight plans without any problem, but as soon as I include a transat section ADREW comes in the picture...

I suspect this is one of the limitations of using the default FS flight planner and why a lot of simmers use FSNav or FSBuild for flight planning.I don't understand why you are having problems with aircraft with FMCs, if you are talking about payware a/c that have FMCs.If you use such a/c the FMCs should take any current route as long as the FMC databases are up to date and removing a w'pt such as ANDREW should not cause problems and it should not remain in the route once deleted.Are you by any chance using the default a/p to control these a/c? If so that would explain the need for ANDREW and you should in fact be using the a/c FMC and a/p to control the plane, not the default FS a/p.Have a look at this site and see if it will generate a correct transatlantic route.http://rfinder.asalink.net/HTH
