Focus and Limits
ATR Simming describes and explains aviation knowledge needed for simulating flight in the unique ATR aircraft. Although this book relies on the Microsoft Flight Simulator™ model, it can be used for ATR aircraft in other simulation programs.
“I liked these aircraft so much,” proclaims author Bill Stack, “I wrote a whole manual for them.”
This manual is for home flight-simulation computer games. It is based on real aviation laws, regulations, and procedures so home flight-simulation enthusiasts can maximize their enjoyment. Because some aspects of home flight-simulation games are not exactly like real-world aviation, some information in this book is not exactly like real flight. That is why ATR Simming is not intended for and should not be used for real-world flight or lessons. No liability is accepted for any misuse of this manual. – Bill Stack, author
Use Your Time Productively
Don’t lose valuable flight-simming opportunities searching the internet for flimsy freebies. Most are worth their cost. Ftldave says it best:
“YouTube is hit or miss. Sometimes there's great, informative content, other times the videos are useless and unintelligible. How much time do you want to spend searching for the former, how much time to waste with the latter? As is often said about open software, the same is true for this: It's free if your time has no value to you.”
Flight simmers have trusted, benefitted, and enjoyed my instructional books since 1997.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
A lot of time and effort has been invested by me and others toward making a quality product that is useful to people. Any book with physical defects will be replaced at no cost. If you can show that the content of ATR Simming is not as described, your money will be refunded. If you find facts that you believe are mistaken, please let me know so I can evaluate them. – Bill Stack, Author
