That always happens when you use the default planner and jetways from transatlantic crossings.

[AKLupine]

I would recommend that you use direct GPS and then drag in the following three points: Shannon Ireland, Keflavik Iceland, Gander Canada. Most
Atlantic routes on the high charts go over these points more or less. From there it is easy enough to continue dragging to other points, just follow
the jetways on the map Hopefully they will fix this issue in FSX but I won't be holding my breath If it makes you feel any better I get
the same crazy world tour routing when I try to do a polar flight from Alaska to Europe.

I tried that once. Maybe the world will be round in FSX.

I've gotten that many times when trying to do long flights like that. I've never had trouble over the Atlantic though, usually it's only when I'm
flying out of the U.S. to the west, or from Asia back to the U.S.

Looks like a typical approach the built in atc sometimes directs you

[Full_Throttle0]

apparently alaska has a warptunnel that shortens your flight by 23 hours
