Do you have any idea how much work it would be to program all existing SIDs and STARs into the sim? You would have to physically examine every single approach and departure chart in the world, note and create every real and virtual approach and departure waypoint in the world - in 3D because there's also the altitude element as well as position. Then you'd have to program every single one into the sim (bear in mind you're talking about a program that runs on a desktop PC here).
Anyone who expected this in a program costing under $50 is - how can I put this gently - I can't, so I won't. You see what I'm saying ::)
If you're that worried about it and think that the fantastic approximation to real procedures that the programmers have devised is not good enough, well don't sit there moaning. Do what the guys did who started PAI - get a group together and do it yourself.
If you get hold of the FS9 XML Scenery SDK you will see that you can exactly program any approach/missed approach/departure leg plus any type of transition that you want for any airport in the world.
But be warned. It's a time consuming and difficult procedure that few people have mastered - myself included. But it can be done - provision has been built in. You just have to do it yourself and not expect someone else to do it for you.
Somehow I suspect that this time next year not too much will have changed....
