Microsoft Flight Simulator 98: Inside Moves

Rating:
Summary: I think this is one of the best guides to MSFS98 around.
Review: I cannot say this is the best investment I have made; I bought this book on the assumption that, since it was a product of Microsoft Press, it would have a high-quality writer. I have not found this to be true. Ben Chiu's style is repetitive and some of the language is not very ideal for a book like this. Ben tries to add some humor to his work, but unsucessfully. Maybe if Alan Bramson had been the author it would have been better- he has a fresh wit, and provides entertainment. Think of another book, or put the money towards a flying lesson in a Cessna.

Summary: Good Guide
Review: Since the Help files on FS98 can be confusing and at times hard to access, This book is extremely useful. Hardly a session with FS98 goes by without me refering to this volumn. It is a great guide to anyone starting out with this program, or experienced users who want the occaisional reference. The only thing I was disappointed in was the fact that this book had very little info about about the technical aspects of the program. In particular I expected to see a chapter or two about downloading and loading add-ons from the internet (planes, scenary etc..). However, this is minor. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a good guide to FS98.

Summary: Okay guide when used with other materials
Review: The guide has much useful information for newbies, but Mr. Chiu should leave the humor to someone else. He constantly tries to make jokes (perhaps the editor said "Keep it light") and he is not funny. This book is okay, especially if it's just one book in your aviation library, but there are other, better guides out there.

Review: This book, which I refer to as my perfect Co-Pilot, really helped me in the early stages when I first got the game. It tought me about all the radio communications, (ie. VOR, MAV1, NAV2), and how to use all the proper flight instruments. Needless to say, I currently go onto the web every night and play with my online buds. This book is a MUST GET!! for all you veterens and newbies.
