Just found this headline and link on avsim today. I checked it out and already there are many major international airport's charts listed. Sids, Stars, IAP's, Airport maps, enroute and others are all there and all free. This might put the payware charts out of action. Check it out, a wealth of flight planning tools. http://www.berrygelderblom.nl/

We still prefer fscharts.com especially for pulling up in the kneeboard where charts (IAPs) are needed during flights.

Who are "we"?
You and your imaginary buddy? ???

I prefer the site Gary R linked to, I print them out and attach them on my desk, simple as that

I looked at the "charts" they have in FScharts.com. Unless I was looking @ the wrong ones they don't look anything like any FAA approach plate. All the ones in that link I posted are outdated realworld approach plates. If you download the Electronic kneeboard, which is made to resemble a notebook pc or pda style device you can load any pdf or word doc chart into any directory and then open up the elecronic kneeobard and use windows explorer to navigate to the chart you need. No need to waste paper that way and you can do it without pausing or minimizing the sim. Grin

Oh Lordy. Some of the charts to the bigger airports linked in that site have many many plates. I have found that in most of those ARTCC links if you click on the chart links that when the chart opens you can click "save picture as" and it will save as a .gif which win pic viewer will then open later. Takes a lot of time though to go through them all and save them but I want to get as many as I can on my HD in case the site disbans or anything.
