I own it, and agree with the OP. Great book, and I've learned a lot from it. I got mine at Amazon for around $18 shipped.

I ordered this the other day from Amazon, hopefully it'll be here tomorrow. I am a pretty experienced gamer but I never got too far into some of the more nitty gritty things like proper radio coms, ILS landings, etc so I hope the book does a good job!

Yup, that is a good book. Very well written. For any of you who also learning to fly for real, I can recommend Bruce Williams' "MS Flight Simulator as a Training Aid". It helps merge the two worlds together to complement each other. Essentially, becoming better at one makes you better in the other (virtual / real).Happy reading.

Ditto!

Nick Darghi published a very thick book some years back.It's not specific to FSX, but the core stuff is unchanged.It was a fairly technical book, but interesting. I think Darghi is an engineer, so the book was not without its formulas if you're into that kind of thing.

I have to agree this is great for learning flightsim. Also for those that buy it be sure to download the flights and extra chapters from the publishers site to get the most from the experience.
