Prerequisites

Like real-world jet flight, simulating jets is an advanced skill. Jet pilots know about basic flight, navigation, instrument flight rules, and electronic flight decks. You will benefit from skills explained in these books:

Flight-Sim Maneuvers 21st Century
Flight-Sim Navigation
Instrument Simming 21st Century

Extra Goodies

Several extras are included to help you make the most of your B747-8I simulations:

An international flight-plan form helps you meet regulations when planning your B747-8I flights.
A jet V-Speed card with commonly used V-speeds defines by speed on one side and alphabetically on the other.
A cruising-altitude diagram helps you select the correct altitudes for your flights.
A logically-organized list of MSFS 2020 keyboard shortcuts helps you simulate flights more easily.

Focus and Limits

Jet Simming 21st Century: B747-8I is based on real aviation principles and procedures so home flight-simulation enthusiasts can maximize their enjoyment. Specific data are appropriate and applicable for such use.

Basic flight methods, cross-country navigation, and instrument flight rules are described in my other manuals.

Microsoft Flight Simulator™ 2020 is used because it is popular. Aviation principles and methods can be applied to other aircraft in other simulators.

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-world flight. Use for real-world aviation is not appropriate or authorized.

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.

Specifications
