In FS the pilot can not choose the route that he wants to fly, by pressing the create button(or some thing like that) FS automatically chooses the route by which the pilot shall fly. So if I wanted to fly transatlantic how would I enter the NAT waypoints?
Thanks,
Ali

ALI,
In FS it is a teadeus process of putting in the Fixes manualy, you will have to scroll around and find each waypoint manually and eneter them, another way is to get FSbuild, or FS navigator, fsbuild has a payware and freeware version, FS navigator is shareware/payware, 10 flights and you gotta buy it then. Hope that helps out somewhat.

That's how I do it too. I file a direct flight between two cities and then put in the real flight plan based on the SID, enroute airways and fixes, and STAR's.
FS by itself will never give you a correct routing. And the designers didn't have a clue that most Euro airways only go in one direction.

If I use FSbuild and export the FP to Squwakbox will I have to fly online or would it be possible to use squwakbox without flying online.

This will also help with your NATs:

VATSIM also has a lot of helpful information.

You could but I don't know why you would want to when FS can export to FS format as well.

Try "when FSBuild can export to FS format as well." I love when I make sense.
