if you put DCT in the place of the way point in the atlantic I think you can make it work ... I have worked on it before, but I use X-Airports SkyVector and revered set-up, the route it is some work but I have managed to do so.
I will work on a route and post it but it will take a day or two since I have to test it I will run a " great circle rout and this is what every one should look at when trying to do an Atlantic or Pacific crossing.
And here ids the answer to why it does not work so you might set up a route like this ;

and this is a good site also ;

Happy Flying,

Thanks Brian,
I thought I had the DCT between the waypoints but will check again.
Good day,
OK, starting on this now and will work out a doable route for you so give me a day or two ...
well I think i have the answer here ;
//*KBOS DCT SCUPP J575 TUSKY N377A ALLRY NATT PIKIL DCT NINEX UN593 BAMRA UL613 GONUT G11 MY G3 METIL DCT BIKF///
will be trying this route and if the route does not work I will just from here... but this is the starting route. what you need to do is un-check the SID and STAR when generating the flight plan then adjust it by adding back the SID and STAR to the beginning and end of the flight plan.

22L is the ATC departing RW/ LBSTA4 is the SID ... and the distance 3352nm not including the STAR distance .
and this is without a waypoint that has a #erd waypoint that is not recognized by the MCDU.
the JPG shows the route KBOS/BIKF

Ps, Just got everything set-up and I'm in the air. i had three CTD's from the SMP-3.2 plugin to get worked out it was a bad weather txt file so I had to trash the wx.txt files and start fresh. Now everything is set and working the way it should C27_2 was the gate I also use as it works well with the A330 and it is for the larger aircraft at Logan...
2) this is a great base route for a north Atlantic route to go to EU destinations like EGLL and English Airports and even German airports from a north route ...
that is not over 6000nm...
Pss,
Note 1b)
The route is complete with the contact of center and the TOD and 562nm till the approach to BIKF I would say we have something to work with now a good route that also works with XL.
Note 2B) the route needs some adjustments as there are some great distances between waypoints and the aircraft need to be adjusted during flight as it does not hold the course. I am adding the bbox.txt so it can be revue ... along with the log.txt ...
Ok here is the SkyVector route to check out the link will show you the route ; and you can just it ...
