Customer Reviews

great sim book

I am a private pilot and had no clue about flying big jets and/or ifr concepts. Rather than reading 1000s of pages of aircraft and flight training texts, this book allowed me to learn and have fun with the simulator. It did a good job introducing the aircraft to me as well. It is 99% relevant for the new flight simulator 2002 and I see no reason why one would need to await for a new book to review.

Fantastic

This book is a must for all flight simmers. It contains detailed information on everything you could wish for. It takes you through steo by step of any "procedure" that you may be unsure of or you simply do not ubnderstand in an understandable language. It covers the normal and professional versions, it is for beginners and experts alike./ If you want to get the best out of Flight Sim 2000 then this is the product that you are looking for. Don't hesitate to contact me if you want ANY help with using flight sim 2000. padge13@hotmail.com It also contains info. on playing FS2000 in multiplayer modes, charts, diagrams and everything that you could ever wish for.

An extremely helpful guide

I have always admired Ben's fine flight simulation guides which have all been excellent in the past and let me just say now: this book does not disappoint. Now I don't want to say anything against the Flight Sim 2000 manual, which is great, but what I will say is that this is not just an extended version of the manual which some people, unfamiliar with Ben's books, may have imagined it would be. It is much, much more. The book contains lots of special tips and techniques that will help both flight simmers new and experienced to get a lot more from the game. I think that the book will greatly improve knowledge of the game and of aviation in general. As well as giving detailed and useful information on Flight Sim 2000, the book also covers lots of great real flight information. The book also covers playing Flight Sim 2000 on the MSN Gaming Zone. Ben's book also has lots of very helpful pictures and diagrams that really pull together the ideas described in the book. I don't think any Flight Sim 2000 owner should be without Ben's excellent new book which is very good value and will certainly help you get the most out of the game! Congratulations and thanks a lot, Ben!

Top Choice on the MSN Gaming Zone - "a must!"

This book is amazing! It's an ideal book for the beginner and the professional of Flight Sims. 350 pages long full of detail ranging from Navigation to a detailed list of commands. If you want to fly FS2K to its best level, this book explains how in "friendly" writing. I have also read other FS2K books - but this is far the BEST from my experience of Flight Sims. Even with this book, i am still learning new techniques in the Flight Sim world. I took this book into work the other day and all my fellow pilots were astonished! From what i know, Ben Chiu is the one and only famous flight Sim authors around and his experience with MSN shows for it. I have read many of his books, especially the FS98 Inside moves book. He has a technique that is unique, as he is a real pilot himself holding many ratings! I have heard many Zoners State that they would be lost without this specialist book! - This book deserves 5 stars from me. - MSN Gaming Zone System Operator, Flight Simulator 2000 Lead.
