PMDG 747 and STAR/Autoland

I've been thinking about finally caving in and getting this.  I've been playing around with the iFly 747 and what is frustrating me is the apparent lack of useful SIDS/STARS (I found some for major airports, but O'Hare approaches take me out to minnessota, then back and doesn't get me to the runway).  I know the PMDG is supposed to have a good NAV database, but are the SID and STAR protocols accurate and do they work?  Also, does PMDG model autoland?  I don't think of it as being a frequently used option, but I would like full modeling of the terminal approach procedures.  Thanks for your input.

I have tried auto land a few times and it works perfectly. In fact I tried it on the lowest visibility the simulator can give you with a 25 knot quartering wind and it landed very nicely. New SID/STAR is updated frequently and can be found at http://www.navdata.at/php/sidstar/aio.php?addon=PMDG.
