Our problem is the opposite. When we file using airways we almost
always get a direct via radar vectors. This messes things up if it
happens to be a training flight. We end up having to renegotiate an
airway clearance. If I include "training flight" in the remarks box I
have had better luck with getting the route I want.

This is not just for controllers.
Will it help if I file in the remarks "VFR GPS"
I file 172/U
Will I get more direct to commands.
I still fly VOR to VOR but sometimes I am out of range, but
still get proceed direct.


If you want direct, file direct. If ATC can provide radar monitoring they
can clear you direct regardless what equipment suffix you use.
