So is there any web based route builder that allows you to save in the correct format for the 757? I don't mind typing in the routes manually, but it would be nice to avoid that with the very long routes.
Thanks

You know you can type your route directly into the MCU using airways, and all the waypoints will be automatically put in.  Then you can save the route as a company route for 757 (although it won't be available as an FSX route).  Saves a lot of typing because you don't have to put in each waypoint.

SKBO SID ABL UL423 ISEBA UG440 LIB UG436 AUR UA552 MTT UJ5 MEX STAR MMMX

"SKBO" is Bogota's airport, SID is whatever SID you want to use, if any, and "ABL" is the first waypoint after that.  "UL423" is an airway that will have a number of waypoints, but you just type in the airway as the via, and "ISEBA" as where you're getting off of it.  Same with the other stuff until you get to MEX, then whatever STAR, and Mexico City!

A lot easier than typing in twenty or more separate waypoints.

Even better is 100 free plans for FSX so you don't have to type at all.

I highly recommend World's 100 Busiest Airports package which is a free download from a newer company that is known for its MD-80 :-)  Wolfgang Schroeder is the author I believe.  (The example I used above comes from it.)  It has plans ready for installation, and also a trip booklet with the route, other info and a map.  It is ideal for the 757.  Start in Sao Paulo and work your way around the world, trying out every livery that's available.
