It wont be the best without up to date nav data. But chart fox is good.

Been using VATSIM for ages and 99% of the time I plot my own routes using SkyVector. LNM is a very helpful tool and can be used with VATSIM. In fact VATSIM traffic can be displayed on LNM.

A benefit of Chartfox (apart from it being free) is that you can integrate it into Avitab in a similar way to Navigraph charts. In theory, that means you can access your airport / procedure charts without having to tab out of X Plane. In practice, however, not all parts of the World are (yet) covered by Chartfox; Asia being an area with poor coverage, for example. If you fly mainly in Europe / USA, Chartfox should serve you quite well.

FoxCharts is good, check out the Avitab plugin to see them in game.
SkyVector also has charts and is very helpful.

Within VATSIM they link free online flight schools (like Vatstar)! It will explain how to read these and they are very helpful and fun.

thanks guys! i just wanted to know if local AIP is up to date? becuse i found charts that claim that they are up to date but loking at the date in the corner i see some charts with dates that are from more then 2 months ago and even not from the current year so i am very confused........... (this is the case with czech republic for example and few more )so at this point i do not know if i should use "up to date" charts from chartfox and local aip's or just go navigraph butt i realy do not want to pay 8 eur per month (i am a teenager btw so it is realy difficult almost impossible for me) i realy need help from everyone who understand this chart cycle thing................(btw when i will join vatsim i would buy the fms data only from navigraph)

thanks!
