When I did that flight I was using a cycle from April to May of this year. In fact the approach page for SLVR showed no STARS and A VOR16, ILS34, Rwy 16 and Rwy 34. Michael Cubine

Hi Michael.

When I selected ILS34 I got a TRANS (not a STAR, so my mistake on stating that) called VIR, of which the first waypoint is VIR/13. This waypoint is, roughly, ~65nm on a heading of 303^o from TOTAI. Once you reach TOTAI, the distance to VIR/13 switches to 0nm (still 303^o heading) and the planes start turning left, like they are going to circle the TOTAI waypoint. The planes also start to do a steep decent because they need to be at around 5000' when they get there, and I'm usually at around 29000'-31000'.

I might revert to last months AIRACS to see if it happens there. I could also choose NOT to select the TRANS.

Hope this clears what is going on here.
