I've just started flying with a more complex Boeing 737 then the default one and am learning to fly by FMC, but I'm having a really hard time finding the right SID and STAR charts, every time I'm planning a flight. Exactly for those airports I choose to fly between the charts are always missing, or only have charts for other SIDs and STARs as I need for the routes the route planner gives me. (I'm using routefinder website with 1206 database)
Can someone advise me to a website, or program that has a full collection of SID and STAR charts?

I dont know if it is relevant to the question, but I'm curently using the AIRAC 1206 database in my aircraft.

Just use google to find it, the NGX has all the real world SIDs and STARs, so yeah google works for me .

I got the NGX and I can find the SIDs and STARs in the FMC list of course, but following the tutorials, I also need to check my routes and correct them according to information from the actual charts, so I do need the those next to the names in the FMC-list.

I tried googling them, but for the airports I choose, in combination with the routes that come up, I'm mostly googling for hours and find dozens of charts, but not the ones for the exact SIDs and STARs I need.
So it would be very helpful to find a database that is complete, it would save me a lot of wasted hours, googling for stuff I wont find in the end.

What version are you running? Are you using 1.3C?

It's been a while, but I remember that you can often dig up the charts you need from various regional atc sites from vatsim.net. Not up to date or anything, but usually the stuff you find there cover most arrivals/departures of major airports that those virtual controllers control. This is the method I used to use.

Oh, and try this site here: http://www.fscharts.com/. ; Just do a search on the airports you need.

Cheers,
RB

Indeed, right now I'm flying mostly Europe. I live close to Eindhoven EHEH, so I use that as my home base, so to speak.

Found all the Dutch charts on VACC site already and with the tips from you guys, I think I find pretty much everything I need, far as I can tell right now.

Thanks for the help Cheesy
