Hi,



I have a strange problem with my FSC. It makes the weirdest and longest possible routes! I dont understand route. Even the direct route between two destinations without and waypoints takes a couple of hours more than the route in real life. Any one have any fixes?



Like from Heathrow to JFK a flight is between 6-7 hours, FSC generated a route that takes me over argentina and the duration was about 12 - 13 hours!



Anyone has any solutions to this??



Thanks in Advance

I've seen this too on transatlantic flights when creating a flight plan using the "High Alt Plan" button.  Try using the "Navaid" button and see if that gives you better results.

Chirag, are you using the Natrack to generate the flightplan? 

 

If you never heard of Natracks or Pacots, google them and you'll find very useful information. 

 

In FSC you can find the Tracks menu, and then download the latest tracks used. 

 

I rarely fly the long-haul routes, but in this case I generate a high-alt plan to the beginning of the track, and another to the end of the track, until my destination airport. 

 

Cherrs,
