Hi,Title says it all. Currently I'm just googling for e.g. EHAM charts, EDDT charts, most of the time I find great charts from Jeppview, but it turns out some are from 2008!So I was wondering, is there a (payware) programm that has all charts (updated), for all airports in the world. I know there is a programm like Simplates, but that's only for the USA. I would like to have charts available for the whole world. Thanks!

I myself use navigraph but there every chart costs 2 points (100 points cost 10$) but if they get updated you have to rebuy the new charts for the same price...

I also use nDAC. It's quite good. It covers almost every country in the world and has a huge database of airports. It also has worldwide coverage for enroute charts. The nDAC program can be freely downloaded from Navigraph's website, and you win 6 "trial" credits. You can buy up to 3 packs of charts for any airport you want (each airport chart pack costs 2 credits). The enroute charts cost 10 credits each. You need to register to Navigraph to use and you can recharge your credits using PayPal or a credit card. Take a look at their site to get more info about it. It's all explained there. I highly recommend this app for people who like to fly around the world.http://www.navigraph.com/www/ndac.asp

Those airport charts (2 credits each), are charts with SIDs STARS, approach procedures, ground maps, etc, correct? So what's included in one pack of charts?

The sole fact of charts being dated 2008 does not mean they are not current. For example, I took a look at (proper) Jeppessen database, and found that many pages in EDDT are indeed dated 2008, some even 2006, while some go to 2011.Trouble is, without keeping track, you have hardly any idea what was changed. Changes in, say, approach plate can be as minute as adding a new obstacle somewhere 5 miles out the airport, to a rebuild of whole approach structure. To give you an idea, LKTB Brno has had its plates changed couple days ago for 1112 cycle. All but one charts are now dated 11 NOV 11 (revision) / EFF 17 NOV, but the changes are not even applicable to flightsim (OM on one side was disabled, along with co-placed locator, references had been changed to DME; and mag var was changed + courses on SID/STAR procs to reflect). If you found a plate dated 2003, it would probably by still valid for simming needs.As for keeping up, IVAO divisions or Vatsim vACCs are a good start, many keep current charts from either national AIP or Jepps.Another good place to go to is www.ead.eurocontrol.int - a summary of European AIPs, very powerful when you learn to work with it, but every country has a different format. I understand that FAA has a free online repository just as well.

It includes charts for everything the airport has. Every pack has an Airport Overview chart, which contains a ground map and information about the airport structure (RWY lengh, slope, etc.). The packs also contain the approach charts. If the airport has SIDs, then the pack will contain SID charts. If it has STARs, you'll also find the STAR charts. Some airport packs also contain a page with information of noise abatement procedures, airport operations and other stuff. It's all there. You pay for the airport, and not for each individual chart or for each type of chart (SID, STAR etc.) You'll pay the same two credits for airfields with only 10 charts or airports with 80+ charts.It's worth to get the trial. Download the nDAC and use those 6 free credits to check it out. There's no commitment envolved. If you like it, you buy more credits. If you don't, just uninstall it. No one will send you weekly emails asking you to recharge your account The nDAC charts are updated about twice a year or so, but you'll have to pay another 2 credits to update the packs you've already bought. That's one of the cons of this program.

Jeppesen JeppView is the best what you can find.

Eurocontrol web site, free access but you have to sign up... always current and official of course.US FAA NACO web site, free and current.Lots of others that have been posted in past for other parts of world... try advanced search.

That's true, but at an annual subscription price of over $10,000 for worldwide coverage, I don't think many FS pilots can afford to choose that option!

Eurocontrol has a list of what it calls "@is online", which contains links to the realworld web pages of most countries' AIS/AIP. Some of the sites listed require you to subscribe, but for many subscription is free, whilst others allow easy access to the latest charts. Some sites are difficult to navigate unless you speak the local lingo, but the acronym "AIP" pops up in surprising places. There are also some, like that for South Africa, where the supplied link is not exactly helpful, but where patience is eventually rewarded with a link to the CAA page that has all the charts.There are some where it seems that charts are not available online.The free, no-registration-required ones include UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, India, Brazil, Afghanistan (I'm not kidding!) and many others. Ever wondered what it would be like to fly the UKMUS 2L departure out of Mazar-e-Sharif? Or try the infamous VOR/DME RWY 02 approach into Kathmandu.regards,
