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.

Find Needed Information Quickly and Easily

Your Glass Simming is organized and laid out for your easiest use. Information is divided into relevant chapters, and chapters are organized into easy-to-follow sections. The Garmin 1000 glass cockpit is first explained function by function from top left to bottom right. A special chapter explains how to accomplish specific tasks. Headings and captions help you find information quickly. It's fully indexed for quick reference.

Your Glass Simming lies flat for easy use.

Clearly Written and Easy to Use

Your Glass Simming is written by expert flight simmers and professional aviators, then published by an experienced training enterprise to help you learn by reading and doing. Everything you need to know about simulating flight with this high technology is explained in plain English. Visual aids help you grasp the principles, and easy-to-follow exercises help you apply the concepts and methods for experience and learning.

Helpful Images From Screen Shots

Your Glass Simming uses more than 40 graphical images from screen shots to demonstrate the various aspects of the Garmin 1000 glass cockpit. Many of these images are annotated for quick comprehension. All images are monochrome for simplicity and effectiveness.

Universal Application

Glass Simming's explanations apply to all three MSFS aircraft that feature the Garmin 1000 glass cockpit: Cessna 172, Mooney Bravo, and Beechcraft Baron 58.

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

What a Bargain!

All this relevant and useful information in a compact book for your easy use is only US$14.95 US$12.95 plus nominal shipping and handling. Who would have thought all this knowledge and guidance could be such a bargain?

Your Satisfaction Is Guaranteed!

We believe so strongly in Glass Simming that we guarantee your satisfaction. If you are not satisfied with your book for any reason, we will replace it or refund your purchase price. What could be safer than this?

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.

RELEVANCY NOTICE:

Like all our flight-sim books, Glass Simming is only for home flight-simulation computer games. It is based on real aviation laws, regulations, and procedures so home flight-simulation enthusiasts can maximize their enjoyment. Because some aspects of home flight-simulation games are not exactly like real-world aviation, some information in this manual is not exactly like real flight. That is why these books are not intended for and should not be used for real-world flight or lessons. We accept no liability for any misuse of these flight-simulation manuals.
