Summary: It's got a lot of stuff in it, but I'm still no pilot.
Comment: It's been a while since I looked through this book, I remember a lot of things being in it, including tips for at least one flight challenge. I guess that I'm just not a pilot at heart, I didn't get the information I really wanted on how to get flying.

Summary: Only good for beginners who want to stay that way.
Comment: I should have returned this one, but I didn't think it was worth the time. This book is no better than the documentation that came with Flight Simulator 98 (which was almost nothing). It only has 200 pages of non-appendix material. I can see how someone who never had any flight simulator books might think it is a good book. However, before I purchased this book, I had purchased the Prima's FS Guide for version 5.1 and had the original pilot handbook that came with earlier versions of FS. I thought this book would be as good or better. Wrong! Dead Wrong! The Prima FS Guide for 5.1 was written by Nick Dargahi. I still read Dargahi's book and use it with FS 2000 Pro. Get Dargahi's latest if you are serious about flight simulation (the latest has a 1000 pages for pete sake!). However, if you are stuck with Microsoft FS 98 for a few years, the book's appendix does list navigation information that would be useful (its probably as good as those other guides with 300 to 400 pages, in fact, if you want something in this price range and can get Prima's 5.1, get that instead). I gave this book two stars - for the appendix and a few pages of hints that were interesting.

Summary: Very Good Book for a Flight Sim Beginner
Comment: This book was worth every penny. Unlike most Microsoft programs, the online help available with Flight Simulator 98 basically sucks. I had the game for months, played it many times, but really couldn't do anything with it. After reading this book, I feel pretty confident that I know how to use almost every feature in the game. This book made the game incredibly fun and anyone who wants to learn how to really play FS98 should buy this.
