In real life, the company flight plans are often datalinked directly to the FMC so the flight crew simply needs to enter the route name to load the route.
U must match the correct AIRAC cycle. If your PSS is 0604, then you can select 0604 in the website and it will generate it, you can't use 0905 if your PSS database is not 0905.
Yup I'm currently using that link. I actually discovered this co route accidentally when I type in the co route name, and out of sudden all the routes appear in the RTE page (I was using the same name to save the route I previously typed in). LOL
I did that before, but I don't like the fact that the waypoints that appear in the RTE page are all via DIRECT instead of airways name, so in the case of long haul route, you end up with the same number of pages as the LEGS page LOL.
For short routes it's ok, but for very long routes e.g. SIN-MAN it can be a pain. In addition some of the airways/waypoints aren't in the PSS database.

Yeah I know. It's just that I already have a database of SQ routes in FS so it's just easier to load it directly :)

Yes I've tried routefinder, but there's no way to export the route to FS unless you subscribe to the full version :( so I stick to the FS planner.
No. The flightplan is normally datalinked directly to the FMC so the flight crew simply needs to enter the route name to load the route.
Why don't you just manually enter the airways and waypoints? It shouldn't take that long...
