In flight sim, I always try to use the most efficient from where I’m coming from. Dunno if you have quick access to charts, but I’ll just scroll through the STARs until I find one that makes sense. If the weather is VFR and I’m not flying on VATSIM or POSCON, I’ll just do direct to a waypoint that makes sense as long as there is terrain clearance. A lot of STARs have “runway transitions” built in to them. If you select a STAR and the appropriate runway, it’ll automatically select the correct runway transition.
