April 12, 20215 yr I think that this FAA book is good and not 'dry', but maybe I'm 'dry'. 😊 You can download each chapter as a PDF file and check it out. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/airplane_handbook/ Bill Bill N7IBG

I had a similar title called Hangsim back in the day. Unfortunately, it is now very dated. After being spoilt by the eye candy of MSFS 2020, it is very hard to go back to something so basic. Also, anything not supporting VR, is a no-no. I cannot play flat anymore. I guess Condor Soaring would be the nearest thing to a decent free-flight sim now. Even though it looks as ropey as hell. It does have a great physics engine, and solid flight models. Also supports VR. 5950X, RTX3090, 32GB@3600, Samsung Evo NVME 1TB, Warthog HOTAS, MFG Crosswinds, Reverb G2.

July 5, 20241 yr Microsoft Flight Simulator X for Pilots Real World Training a superb book by Jeff Van West and Kevin Lane-Cummings was aimed at Flight training on simulator like real world training. It has been referred to in the above posts earlier. It is a superb book and makes it fun to learn on its own or complementing real world training. It is primarily aimed at learning on FSX as the lesson files available on Wiley Publishers are for use with FSX. However thanks to our friend the files for MSFS 2020 have been also made and available at Flightsim.to MSFS-RWT_v4-2-0 : Multilingual Real World Training Missions for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS There are some limitations as some of planes used in FSX lessons are not available on MSFS2020 for which nearest in specs alternate plane is provided in the lesson. Also some variations in weather conditions are observed but are minor. The briefings and maps / charts are provided along with these lesson files which are a great help in understanding the scenario. The book itself which explains the basics and "why" for each of these lessons (the "how" to do it part) so it (the book) remains important to have and read while leraning from using these lesson files. Happy simming like a real world pilot ! Edited July 5, 20241 yr by Jave78
