As someone who does this for a living, a lot of us still input the flight plan manually into the fmc.I have no experience of the sim version but in real life I do it like this:
1 Input city pair
2 Input rwy and sid
3 From end of sid line select on the left at the last point
This should bring up a different page and on the left should be a via/to input box.Enter airway and waypoint.
This should bring up in the legs page all the points on that airway to the point you have selected.
4 line select again from the last point with another airway waypoint combo
5 Input a runway and star
6 The route should be complete without anyt discos.
This is only about 1/5 of what we do as you also have winds weights and constraints etc to load.
If anybody wants any more info pm me.
