Messages From the Author
Instructions supplied with flight-simulation programs skim the surface of what a flight-sim pilot needs to know. And real-world aviation books explain much more than home flight simmers need to know. My books are focused on just what you need. If you enjoy simulating flight realistically, as I do, you will enjoy my books.
My flight-sim books are only for home flight-simulation computer games. They are 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 my books is not exactly like real flight. That is why these books are not intended for and should not be used for real-world flight or lessons. TopSkills and I accept no liability for any misuse of my flight-simulation manuals.
Spend your flight-simming time wisely. Get this book now and apply real navigation methods to your simulations right away. Searching the Internet for freebies is not always productive. Flight simmer “ftdave” 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.
