    Hi, normally if you are playing online and the airport is manned by someone, it will be the ATC that will give you the clearance and the SID to follow.
    Same procedure it will be for the STAR if you have an ATC avaiable.

    If no ATC is available, you will decide on your own what SID / STAR to use. Normally choose the one, after obviously having checked the runway in use, that is clooser to your next waypoint.

    Just to give you an idea, if you are flying from Milan to Rome, you will need a SID that makes you go in south direction instead of sending you north into Switzerland

    That is easy, atc, if not available every route must start on the last point of a sid and end on the first point of a star.

    That is true, but it also depends how you plan your flight. Not all programs (for example fsnavigator, vroute etc) create a correct flight plan, so the entry and exit routes are not always correct according to active SIDs or STARS.

    Vroute has option for real world flight plan, does will always be good flight plans, as of fsnavigator don't even know what that is, my fs navigator is enroute charts plus fmc.

    yes but consider that normally they are not real flight plans, they're always inserted by users
    fsnavigator is (or at least was) the most used program in the world after fsuipc

    Nothing don't worry, just mean that it may be that you don't know old programs, it's normal
    Things are much easier now.. ages ago people couldn't rely on all the programs and fmc as today
