Is it worth getting? It would be nice to have all the ILS and VOR approach charts, but is it really worth forking over $70 for?

Also, this part should probably go in the COF forum, but can you fly instrument approaches without the charts?

do you want plates for just your local area, or a specific spot?

if so you can get real plates real cheap from: www.sportys.com

Watkins,
If you enjoy flying the US, you can go to
AirNav.com

It is a real great source for getting information about Real World Airports that you can use in the Sim!
For instance. I planned a flight from San Juan (TJSJ) to St. Thomas (TIST). I went to AirNav.com and punched in San Juan and got all the info on the airport. I was unfamiliar with St. Thomas' airport, (my destination) because I had never flown there. so I punched in St. Thomas and got a page like this. http://www.airnav.com/airport/TIST

It will give you tons of information about the airport and runways. The best thing is that you can download the approach maps for any of these airports. You will find them under "Instrument Procedures". Thus you can get things like this!

It also supplies an actual picture of the airport from above and with the "Instrument Procedure Maps", it makes the new approach to an unvisited airport a little bit more familiar.

Hope this helps!

As Dave said, for us flying mostly in the U.S., go to AirNav! Very nice indeed!
