DESCRIPTION:
Bruce grew up in an Air Force family, and he has been a pilot and aviation writer since the early 1970s. About the AuthorBruce Williams worked on six versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator during a 15-year career at Microsoft. In early 2004, Bruce left Microsoft to devote full time to his consulting company, BruceAir, LLC (BruceAir), which develops training materials, provides flight training, and offers multimedia presentations on a variety of topics for pilots and flight instructors.. He remains an active flight instructor at Galvin Flying Services in Seattle, specializing in technically advanced aircraft, simulator instruction, stall/spin/upset recovery training, and aerobatics. His experience with the development and design of Microsoft Flight Simulator included consulting with leading aviation organizations and teaching seminars about how to use Microsoft Flight Simulator as a training aid
This guide and the accompanying CD illustrate how to get the most out of Microsoft® Flight Simulator with general suggestions, specific advice, and practical tools. PC-based simulations, though touted by many in the aviation community as excellent flight training aids, are not being used to their full potential. Student pilots can use the comprehensive information to review specific concepts and prepare themselves for formal flight instruction, while certified pilots can upgrade their navigation skills, learn about advanced aircraft and procedures, and complement their real-world flying with additional hours in the virtual skies. The materials are equally suitable for flight instructors looking for new tools to use in ground school classes and pre- and post-flight briefings and virtual aviation hobbyists will welcome the in-depth information on flying in the real world.

I bought this book at the same time as Jeff Van West's book, andI found that even though the latter makes you go download the missionsfrom the Wiley website, they were still much more useful. The lessonson the CD with this book had no more structure than say something Imight have saved while flying. If you are buying a book that isreal-avia
