Amazon.com Review

Microsoft Flight Simulator, with its emphasis on mimicking as closely as possible the true feel of six different airplanes, sits in a position very close to where a game becomes a tool. Gary Meredith's book occupies a similar position. The focus is clearly on learning to have the most fun with the software, but along the way the reader learns a lot about the real world of flying and aviation history. With the addition of Meredith's sense of humor, you may forget you're reading a game book and become engrossed in a chapter.

Complete waste of money - don't buy it!, June 10, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Flight Simulator (EU-Inside Moves) (Paperback)

Clearly not written by a pilot, this book is no more than a rehash of FS95's existing online documentation & help, with a few extras thrown in that any idiot could find for himself on the internet.

The promises extended by the cover (and avertising copy) about this book include "Cross-Country Flight Navigation"... on this and ALL other subjects in the book, the detail is light, the exercises scanty and unstructured.

This book is a rip-off! I will be returning my copy today.
