That usually depends on what country you want SIDs and STARs for. You can find US charts at
http://www.myairplane.com/databases/approach/index.php and UK charts at
http://www.ais.org.uk . Not sure about anywhere else, to be honest, but those work fine for me!

The FMC or Flight Managment Computer, is the swiss army knife of the skies.
You put in all the data before your flight (and during it) of your course, the VOR's and intersections etc. and it will present you with nice headings, fuel burn, distance to travell and other things.
Im not sure exactly but I think that all airplanes that have the FMC can be flown from start to finish with the pilot hardly touching the controlls. (thats in real a/c though)
