"Nothing New Here"
Nearly everything in the book is just a re-hash of information that is in the learning center section of Flight Simulator. More depth and breadth of information is needed to merit purchasing this book.

"FS2004:Official Strategies & Secrets"
Great little book!
Can't imagine starting out playing FS2004 without this handy book. Has many, many tips to help the novice to begin using and understanding the flight simulator. Recommend it highly.

"Nice reference, not complete but a good start."
Decent book, worth a read. There is much information between the cover for the beginner, however like mentioned in other reviews, I wish there were more "complete" details. I too was saddened by the references to what already came with MS FS2004. It's rather frustrating when a guide doesn't stand "on it's own".

Poor Sky King who posted here posted a review of the game here in error. (And yes, Sky, it is a game first, then a learning tool second.)

"Don't Waste Your Money - This Book is Not Worth it!"
While this book may be good for an absolute first timer, it is a total waste of money for a familiar user. I purchased it in hopes of learning how to properly use the instruments for approaches/landing and the control tower. All of the lessons in the book refer you back to the "Learning Center" (on your computer) - why even bother using this book. For someone looking to have a paper reference to coach them through something, this book is not it! I wanted a step by step lesson and it gave me "try the Learning Center." It also skips over a lot of the key steps and assumes you already know how to do certain things. What makes this book even worse is that it doesnt even provide a list of common commands. My advice: Don't Bother.

"OK stuff if you don't want to read online manual."
This book contains tens of pages about aircraft information which is easily obtainable from the internet. It does have some useful FS usage information, but even that can be obtained from the online manual.

It is not a total waste though.

What our customer's say!

"Limited Use", Might be a good book for someone who is unfamiliar with MS Flight Sim. For me it was way too basic. Suggest you try something else if you have any experience with any MS Flight Sim.


"Nothing useful here...", Although there are some interesting excercises in this book, it didn't have the extensive, detailed "nuts & bolts" information I was looking for. Each subject is a basic overview followed by "see the learning center for more information".

I was hoping for detailed information on all controls and instruments, the information that's NOT found in the FS2004 learning center.

In short, don't waste your money.

"Dud!", This product doesn't run. I could never get it to work, even after applying all the fixes that Microsoft had ready on its website. I'm still not sure what to do with it.

"A great book!", I was most happy with all those V-speeds I can't seem to find anywhere else. Good advice inside.

"Good Resource", I purchased this book after I read the other reviews. Some of them were not as good as others. I have long been a fan of Flight Simulator and I have purchased all the hints book to go along with each one. I found this book to be a great resource and I have used it daily.

"A Pilot's Review", This is not a game! After using Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 along with the CH Flight Sim Yoke and Pedals for a few weeks, I decided to work toward my Pilot's License. 3 weeks before my 50th birthday I passed my Private Pilot Checkride.
I live in the Northeast, and this program allows me to practice my navigation skills during spells of bad weather. I can take off from my home airport in Massachusetts, communicate with Air Traffic Control, and use my paper charts to plan my flight. You can even use the GPS to find your way. The program can go to the internet and retrieve real-time weather for the area you're flying! All navigation equipment works perfectly. The dashboard of the Cessna 172 is virtually identical to the one I rent.
Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 has made me a better pilot, period.


"Great Book", I am a first timer, When you combine this with the powerful flight lessons in Flight Simulator. You are one great pilot. And after you know how to fly the book still helps you do different stuff.

"A Must Have With The Game", Regardless if you are a pilot or not, this book is extremely helpful and filled with great tips, hints and solid information.

"A PERFECT COMPLEMENT", You can play Fs2004 without this, but if you really want to get the most of the simulator you should have it because have a lot of extra information. and If you like to fly and all concerned with aviation it is a good idea for your collection. 200 and more pages.

"A great companion for the game", This is a really good companion book for the game. It compiles all important data into one place, and includes fun challenges that are instructional. I give it an A-.
