Good Guide

Since the Help files on FS98 can be confusing and at times hard to access, This book is extremely useful. Hardly a session with FS98 goes by without me refering to this volumn. It is a great guide to anyone starting out with this program, or experienced users who want the occaisional reference. The only thing I was disappointed in was the fact that this book had very little info about about the technical aspects of the program. In particular I expected to see a chapter or two about downloading and loading add-ons from the internet (planes, scenary etc..). However, this is minor. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a good guide to FS98.

I think this is one of the best guides to MSFS98 around.

This book, which I refer to as my perfect Co-Pilot, really helped me in the early stages when I first got the game. It tought me about all the radio communications, (ie. VOR, MAV1, NAV2), and how to use all the proper flight instruments. Needless to say, I currently go onto the web every night and play with my online buds. This book is a MUST GET!! for all you veterens and newbies.

EXCELLENT BOOK ! ( especially if you hate the help files )

An excellent book for people who don't want to read the help files. All major topics have been covered, including Ground School, Flying Techniques, and Aerobactical moves. Also, don't forget - if you buy the book before April ends, you can get a $5 rebate on the book. Go to Microsot's website to print the coupon. CONSIDER THIS BOOK YOUR CO-PILOT !!

Another Great Book By Ben Chui

This is another great book by Ben Chui. It's like the nanual Microsoft forgot. :) This book is the same great tquality of his other flight sim books.

This Book is the Same thing as MFS98:Unauthorized Game Secre

This book is good if you want an easy Guide to gettingstarted, an explanation of the instruments, some suggestions forlanding, etc. , but I would reccommend the "Unauthorized Game Secrets" version. It's the identical book, but it has an additional chapter (note the 30+ extra pages in the description). I did not compare page to page, but they have the identical lessons, pictures, etc in most chapters. I don't just mean similar ideas, I mean exact wording. None of the FS98 books are very high quality like some of the books for other Microsoft Software (say Excel or Word). These are more of a basic level book. The only reason I purchased the book is because the word going around the web was the Help menu on FSIM98 was useless. I figured for $15 or so. I could avoid the hassle. If you don't mind spending $15 for basic assistance, I would get MFS98:Unauthorized Game Secrets. The other book "Inside Moves" is basically a re-hash of the same stuff. I have not read the IFR Techniques, so this review does not apply to it.
