744 FMS - Diversion fuel prediction techniques

Is their a way on the 744 FMS of predicting the fuel for a diversion route?

If I put a diversion in Route2 say from planned destination to an alternate, using SID's and STAR's, and then temporarliy make Route2 active, it assume I will be going from my present position to the destination for fuel predictions.

I would like an accurate figure from Destination (or point X) to Alternate using what I entered in Route 2.

I remember the Airbus FMS was much better at this...

Anyone got any tips?

Thanks
