Great Writing but Poor Production Values
These are tough days for book publishers. While the writing is five star the publishers production values are two star. 

All the illustrations are in black and white. To see color illustrations you have to go the publishers web site. Instead of the books `missions` being on CD or DVD you have to go the Publisher's web site to download them and paste them in FSX. All the appendices referred to in the book are on the Publisher's web site where they must be downloaded and printed- by you. In my copy the printing is faint and hard to read. 

Wiley (the Publisher) has done everything to keep costs down- and it shows. The cover was the only item they splurged on- don't be fooled. 

There are now a number of books on earlier versions of FS that are now available on the net for free.

Very nice book for `wanna be a pilot` and for virtual pilots
This book is excellent for plane aficionados who want to perfect their flying abilities, turning the FSX into a more realistic simulator. 
If you fly virtually and want to became a real airplane pilot read this book and enrich your knowledge before making the step to the expensive real world of flying. 
It has plenty of flying examples to train in the FSX and many histories of real aviation.

Fine step by step training
It goes all the way. A real directory for FSX. Nice and easy to comply the lessons. Some are notavailable, others videos faulty. But your computer has to be good (video card specially) to run all the realism available in the FSX, wich more is betther.
