About this title

Synopsis

Have you ever entertained jet fighter fantasies -- perhaps screaming after enemy bogies high above the Gobi desert -- but just couldnt seem to find the time? Well, author Nick Dargahi can provide some gratification with The Ultimate Flight Simulator Pilots Guide, the definitive guide to Microsofts Flight Simulator for Windows® 95 and Flight Simulator 98.

The Ultimate Flight Simulator Pilots Guide pushes Microsofts aerial applications to the outer limits with illustrations, equations, and aeronautic fundamentals such as flight maneuvers, takeoffs and landings, meteorological prognostication, flight plans, and global navigation. Dargahi consulted accomplished pilots, software developers, and experts in aviatory physics, and the finished product is a flight simulation guide without peer.

With the companion CD-ROM, you can retrace Amelia Earharts tragic attempt to circumnavigate the globe, or you can test-fly 21 new planes, including the worlds first jet-powered fighter plane the Messerschmitt Me 262. The CD-ROM also contains an impressive collection of customization tools, navigational aids, maps, and charts, along with DAFIF a global listing of navaids and airports generated by the U.S. Department of Defense.
