    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.

    Sample Text

    "The block on the left side of the top row shows active and standby frequencies for Nav-1 and Nav-2 radios. In real-world Garmin 1000 glass cockpits, these numbers can be changed only with physical controls such as buttons, switches, and knobs. In MSFS, they can also be changed by using keyboard shortcuts. They cannot be changed with the mouse cursor as is possible in other MSFS radio panels."

    It's easy to follow, isn't it?

    A Message From Your Author

    Realistic flight simming requires knowledge. Detailed sceneries, aircraft, and sounds are helpful, but true realism cannot be accomplished without simulating what real pilots do in their real aircraft. I write my flight-sim books to help my fellow flight simmers enjoy their hobby through true realism, as I do. Use the knowledge in my books, and see what I mean.— Bill Stack

    Get a Free V-Speed Card!

    With the Purchase of Bill Stack's Excellent Flight-Sim Books!

    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. The cards are a handy size for using right at your flight simulator.




    NOTICE:

    Like all our flight-sim books, Glass Simming is for noncombat flight-simulation computer games, only. Although many of the principles, procedures and practices could be applied to combat flight simming, this book focuses on private and commercial aviation. It is not for real-world flying at all. We accept no liability for any misuse of our flight-simulation manuals.
