We still prefer fscharts.com especially for pulling up in the kneeboard where charts (IAPs) are needed during flights.

I looked at the "charts" they have in FScharts.com.  Unless I was looking @ the wrong ones they don't look anything like any FAA approach plate.  All the ones in that link I posted are outdated realworld approach plates.  If you download the Electronic kneeboard, which is made to resemble a notebook pc or pda style device you can load any pdf or word doc chart into any directory and then open up the elecronic kneeobard and use windows explorer to navigate to the chart you need. No need to waste paper that way and you can do it without pausing or minimizing the sim.  ;D

Oh Lordy.  Some of the charts to the bigger airports linked in that site have many many plates. I have found that in most of those ARTCC links if you click on the chart links that when the chart opens you can click "save picture as" and it will save as a .gif which win pic viewer will then open later. Takes a lot of time though to go through them all and save them but I want to get as many as I can on my HD in case the site disbans or anything.

I'll check out that site, and add a site that I use:

www.airnav.com...

Find just about anything about an airport, as well as approach charts... :-)
