Summary: A NOTE FOR THE BRAZILIAN READERS
Review: If you are willing to take the time to read this book and practice with the sim, you are in for a lot of fun. Microsoft Flight simulator is no doubt the best flight sim that you can buy. I've used it since day one when it was not much more than stick figures. I've use a few books and have not seen one that gives you as much info as this one. My advise if you are really serious about this simulator. GET THIS BOOK. Be able to do the things that you would never be able to do with out it. I give it five stars

Summary: Definitely a MUST HAVE for FS95/FS98
Review: The word "Ultimate" in the title is a gross understatement! I guess there really isn't a superlative sufficient to describe the amount of information this book contains. Virtually every topic about which I had questions is covered in detail. The CD is crammed with goodies, including 500MB worth of navigational charts for the U.S. (which can be printed--also note that these are not to be used for real navigation, but they're great for flight simming), planes, and misc. software. It has a chapter on the famous flight of Amelia Earhart, and everything you need to recreate that flight (the Lockheed Electra 10-e is on the CD, as well as special scenery). I have only skimmed the surface of this book myself, but it far surpasses the one other title that I have on FS98.

Summary: The 'Bible' of Flight Simulator Books
Review: This book is a masterpiece! Having also bought other flight sim books, they pale into insignificance compared to this effort. Quite how long it must have taken to write, I've no idea. But I do know there's tons of useful information - all well written, clear and accurate. I'm just reading it all again for a second time - it's that good. The CD also contains some excellent programs. In particular the moving map display is excellent.Don't bother with any of the inside moves books - get this instead!

Summary: A first rate book, comprehensive and thorough
Review: This book is excellent, it will benefit both theorists (like myself) and those who are dying to get their planes off the ground. I think a baisc knowledge of the physics of flight is absolutely essential to be a pilot, good or not. Although formulae such as those for calculating moments of intertia of rigid bodies, would be beyond most readers, on the whole this book is the absolute best in it class! A note to critics of this book who think all they need is a 15 page manual full of keyboard short cuts to become a (virtual) pilot - It will never happen!

Summary: Wonderful Book - Covers HUGE Range of Material - MANY Errata
Review: This books covers everything. Begining with the history of FS, explains physics, aerodinamics, etc. If you want to learn how to become a real virtual pilot you have to read this book.
Rating: 
Summary: An overly lengthly and difficult to use reference
Review: This is not the book to buy if you want to become a better pilot. It is chock full of all sorts of useless information including mathematical formulas that add little or nothing to one's ability to fly. What information is here is difficult to find for it may be buried on page 253 of the book's 1003 pages.
