Attention Grabber........ha ha

SID's are Standard Instrument Departures. During IFR flights to make it as real as possible ( only on VATSIM or IVAO since FS ATC guides you like a puppet ) You follow the chart as to altitude and speed restrictions. Headings and VOR connections to the rest of your flight.

STAR's are Standard Instrument Arrival Routes right? Something like that. It might be Terminal. Anyways, that is used for landings. With no ATC online you use that for the approach. Again, the chart gives you altitude and speed restrictions and paths and VOR and Intersections to use. With ATC online they start guiding you out of the route for a better approach.

Hope that helped. Good Day
