Summary: Old but still useful 1997-12-02
Comment: 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 in this book is usable with just about any version of MS Flight Simulator. Highly recommended.

Summary: This is one of the best book on Flight Simulator. 1997-08-15
Comment: The book covers many additional information on flight. The two chapters on flight basics and radio navigation are even more comprehensive and clear than the new help in FS95, including some mathematics explanations. The only weakness is missing description on aerobatics and new scenery. But bear in mind, it is written for 5.1 version primarily. Anyway, the information is very usable to new FS pilot. If you want to buy a book for FS 5.1 or even FS95, I strongly advice you to buy this one. No doubt, it is good, much much better than the new edition
