Book Description

A collection of 21 Classical Flight Simulation Books available on the web. More than 2,200 printed pages have been digitized into 800+ web pages.

These books, published from 1985-1989, cover Microsoft Flight Simulator and Sublogic Flight Simulator software, plus other flight sim programs including F-15 Strike Eagle and Sublogic's Jet. Users who prefer more modern flight simulators will find that many of the techniques and situations described in these books, such as aerobatic maneuvers and instrument flying techniques, remain relevant to newer flight simulators.
