COMMENTARY
It's About Realism
Most flight simmers are looking for realism in all the wrong places.
Realistic sceneries, aircraft, panels, gauges, sounds, and ATC are all very nice, but the only true way to simulate flight realistically is to do it the way real-world pilots do it. Simming without knowing about your aircraft, or following the proper procedures, or using official aviation charts are not realistic.
That's what my books are about. You'll learn how to know your aircraft, follow procedures, use real aviation charts, and much more.
All my books are written exclusively for flight simmers. They're based on official aviation reference and training materials. They explain all the information in easy-to-understand English. Terms and acronyms are clearly defined.
If realistic flight simming is what you seek, you'll find it through my books. And your satisfaction is guaranteed.
Order my flight-sim books today. You'll be glad you did.

New High-Resolution Printing!
Our flight-sim books have greater clarity of text and images than ever because they are now printed on a state-of-the-art high-resolution digital printing process. The text and images are sharper, and the backgrounds are cleaner. We've spent the last several months converting the books to this new digital process and updating some books as well.
You'll love the better look and the easier readability. The best part is that prices have remained the same while the quality has gone up!
Look over our books and see for yourself how great they look. You will be grateful for our new digital printing process and the months of preparation that went into this quality achievement.
These books are the best way to learn about realistic flight simming!
Get a Free V-Speed Card
V-speeds are a series of velocities designated by aviation authorities. Some are minimums, some are maximums, and some are optimums. For example, "Vne" means the designated velocity should never be exceeded (it differs for each aircraft).
Your V-speed card lists the most common general-aviation V-speeds in two easy-to-find ways – alphabetically on one side and by velocity on the other side. Each V-speed is identified by name and abbreviation and explained in clear language. These cards are a handy size for using at your flight simulator.
You will get a V-speed card free with every order of flight-sim books from TopSkills! This is my way of saying "Thank You." — Bill Stack, author.

A Message From the Author
I wrote these flight-sim books to help my fellow flight simmers enjoy our hobby to the fullest extent -- just as I do. Guidance with flight-sim programs is skims the surface of what we need to know. Official aviation manuals are way too technical for this fun hobby. My books fill that gap. Flight simmers around the world enjoy our hobby as a result of using my focused books. Read their testimonials in the right column.
Don't short change yourself! If you want to simulate flight like a real-world pilot, buy my books and don't fumble around like an amateur!
NOTICE: All my flight-sim books are only for flight-simulation computer games, only. They are not for real-world flying at all. We accept no liability for any misuse of these books.
— Bill Stack, author
Make your flight-simming more fun!
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed!
I believe so strongly in my books that I guarantee you will be pleased with them. If my books are physically defective in any way, I will replace them at no cost to you. If you feel my books are not what I say they are, your purchase price will be refunded. Nothing could be safer than this!
