Microsoft Flight Simulator X For Pilots Real World Training Reviews
I highly recommend this book. This is a great book for those learning to SIMFLY. I wish I would have purchases this back when I was working on my Private Pilot's License, because it is extremely helpful. The only negative is that it is not printed in color. The lessons and training missions you download from the internet are worth the money on their own. I have been using this book and missions to learn to fly the G1000 as well as to help me with my Instrument Rating.
The title should have gone through a redesign to optimize it for one-color printing. 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 contrastlike printing a color negative on b&w photo paper. While it's still legible, the effect makes me feel like I missed out on something.
It is a bit like learning to speak French to learn Spanish, but the overall concept should help decrease actual flight costs. I found it slightly overwhelming at first, but perhaps it is the challenge of the older generations to conquer the electronic media. This volume was suggested to us by our flight instructor, who found that the mental exercize of simulated inflight practice increased his efficiency in learning. Looking forward to the process.
The accompanying exercises (down loadable from the Wiley Site)are very well done and are a testament to the devotion of the authors to fulfill the purpose as stated in the title of their book. It has taken me to the next level of flight simulation. Well written, clear and fun to read. Thanks. I'm not a real pilot but I've been an enthusiastic if somewhat casual user of Flight Simulator for years and I have learned so much from this book. It's accurate, no glaring typos and assembled in a logical format.
I'm mostly interested in IFR flight and have some experience with previous version of FS back to '98. It's geared towards training for actual flying but I recommend it for flight sim fans also. If my opinion changes are reading the book I will change this review. I'm not a pilot and don't intend to be one. Lots of pics. I just got this book and it really looks good.
