On most flight's I use FSNAV with Waypoint to waypoint configured. Would it be (or not) better to use High Alt. Airways setting? I'm doing PHNL-RJAA and will use wpt. to wpt. but in future maybe High Alt. My problem is, on the above flight it take me waaaay south and then back north. Is this normal? Any help, preferably based on real-life rules. Thanks

Not sure about Hi-Nav, I only ever used point to point (GPS-fsNav) with nav aids.
As far as High Alt. Airways. They are more realistic on RL flight's. I have heard from another member that you can get Nav data O/L to update you FS nav info to Real info. (Tryi'n to find link. navinfo.com? navgraph?
I didn't save post (I never do). Maybe BlackBoeing or new pilot (said to be real) can help?
Good luck and post outcome!

It seems that the airways option constrains the flight plan to follow an airway (controlled airspace). Unfortunately, there is no airway between Honolulu and Tokyo (refer to FAA pacific charts www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/ifr/). The "closest" one to this path is the airway A450, so the computed fpln goes as far as possible in this airway till phily and then flies toward Tokyo (all this path is in controlled airspace). If you dont impose to follow an airway, the fpln is again a straight line from Honolulu to Tokyo including uncontrolled section above the pacific ocean (more unsafe in real flight ). hope this explanation helps.
