Customer Review: The page designs for this book appear to have been intended for printing in full color. There was liberal use of spot color and much use of full color screen caps in the design; but as the book is printed with only black ink, the illustrations and other graphic elements are lacking in contrast--like... more info
Customer Review: A comprehensive book that seems to spend a lot of time justifying the use of PC based Flight Sims for pilot training. I possibly expected more on how to use the Flight Sim program than there was. nevertheless, worth reading.
Customer Review: Might be a good book for someone who is unfamiliar with MS Flight Sim. For me it was way too basic. Suggest you try something else if you have any experience with any MS Flight Sim.
Customer Review: I don't know who Bart Farkas is and based on this hack job I hope I never do. Did anyone read this "book" much less proofread it before publication? How can one copy text, practically verbatim from the in game help files, and still have so many typos(3-4 to a page), not to mention inaccurate... more info

I say "Flying!" because Microsoft's Flight Simulator motto, "As Real As It Gets", is "jaw-drop-pingly" accurate... more info
Customer Review: Even though this book was written two years ago and Microsoft has since released two versions after the one this book was written for, the book is still quite useful. Taking you from the simple act of taxiing around the airport, to IFR navigation and low visibility landings, the information included... more info
Customer Review: This, the first of Microsoft's combat flight simulators is the best as far as the basic concept is concerned, and the later two versions would have done better to hew closer to the original concept, and used the technological advances to make improvements within the original framework. In Combat... more info
Customer Review: This book is a bit dated and some of the informations on controls is now incorrect, but otherwise this book is a great way to learn how to use Microsoft Flight Simulator. It starts of with simple flights teaching how to use various instruments and features while also teaching the basics of how to... more info
