Philadelphia to London, via Fairbanks?

[MooseMan]

After passing the commercial pilot checkride (on my 17th try  ;) ), I decided to try a transatlantic flight to celebrate. Everything looked cool until I tried to input a Philly to London Heathrow flight - It took me westward across Canada, to a VOR near Fairbanks, [glb]Alaska[/glb], then over the pole and down to England . Well, as you can imagine, I was pretty stumpted. I tried numerous other routes, but on anything going across the Atlantic north of the equator it took me to Alaska and then to my European destination! Anybody have any ideas?  ???

Just do direct gps. A thread only a week ago showed that it's identical to the real life track

( but Nexus may not agree if he sees this)

Yeah, me neither  :). I always go for realism, that's why I do the high altitude airways for commercial flights.
