Hello everyone!
As many of you know, I take Infinite Flight to a very realistic level including my flight plans. I noticed a lot of users want to do realistic flight plans but don’t really understand how to read all the different information. I posted a series of videos that I have watched in order to learn about real world charts. With global flight quickly approaching, I’m sure many of you want to fly across the world using real world flight plans. This series of videos should definitely help you with that.
Please remember that SIDs and STARs do not apply to controllers especially those on the expert server. You may still create your flight plan using real world charts, like I do, but please expect to be deviated from it. If you would like to follow SIDs and STARs in your flight plans, you can do so when no controllers are present in the airspace, fly on casual, or fly in solo mode.
This simply serves as an informational and educational topic for those who are curious. These videos are quite old but still contain valid content and information. The video is more centered towards desktop sim users, but Infinite Flight should still apply considering the flight planning system is very similar. Please watch all 4 parts.

Hope you enjoyed these videos and I hope you learned something new. Any questions? Feel free to ask below. I may not be to answer all your questions, but I’m sure a real world ATC controller or a real world pilot could answer. :)
@Aernout has created a tutorial on how to read IAPs a while ago. Check it out here if you’re interested.
