On a recent flight from sydney to hawaii, I chose to fly using high altitude airways but the flight plannerchose a route that was about 50% longer than the point-to-point method I could have used! It took me almost dead east from aus untili was almost dead south of hawaii then turned 90* and into hawaii!!!!!!! Thats not economical i cried! Then I wanted to fly UK to Cuba, so again I chose high altitude airways in the flight planner to see my flight plan take me down as far as Brazil before heading north-west to Cuba!!!! SoI thought perhaps following low-altitude airways would give me a better route - which promtly tried to take me over the north pole and down over canada/us/cuba. Now when I was a passenger on this flight for real, we flew over the north atlantic and down the east coast of America. Now as MSFS is 'as real as it gets' why on earth is it giving these ridiculous routes and making me rather fly point to point using the GPS?
