Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Authors Bart Farkas and Douglas Kiang are more concerned with making learning Flight Simulator fun than they are with the minutia of real-life aviation. Even so, the game's options for intense realism make it impossible to talk about the simulation with out teaching a bit of the real thing. Farkas and Kiang keep the fun level up with a light-hearted breezy style that encourages playfulness in the virtual cockpit. The book is loaded with useful tips for beginners and experienced players alike--as well as some devilish ideas no pilot would dare try in real life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely useless book. Don't buy it., August 1, 1997

I have the 5.1 Flight Simulator version of this book. That is indeed an interesting and stimulating book. I expected this one to be as interesting the 5.1 version and that was the reason for buying it. The Windows 95 version is a total deception. It offers virtually no interesting information, besides the one you can get browsing Flight Simulator's interface and help system. Save your money. Avoid the book

Without the availability of all the VOR and NDB frequencies shown in the book it is very difficult to fly from one area of the country to another. I use it daily for all my flights. I realize these frequencies are available within the FS 98 program but this is more convenient.
