Editorial Review:
Product Description: With tips, tricks, and strategies for every challenge, this book won't just earn you your wings-it'll put a feather in your cap. With the Microsoft??Flight Simulator for Windows 95: The Official Strategy Guide, you'll be able to: take a cross-country cruise in a Cessna, buzz tall buildings in a Sopwith Camel, fly under bridges in a Learjet, go barnstorming in an Extra 300S stunt plane, glide on the wind in a Schweizer Sailplane, deal with major instrument failures on a Boeing 737-400, crash-land and walk away from it, and uncover Easter eggs and other surprises.
Amazon.com Review: Authors Bart Farkas and Douglas Kiang are more concerned with making learning Flight Simulator fun than they are with the minutia of real-life aviation. Even so, the game's options for intense realism make it impossible to talk about the simulation with out teaching a bit of the real thing. Farkas and Kiang keep the fun level up with a light-hearted breezy style that encourages playfulness in the virtual cockpit. The book is loaded with useful tips for beginners and experienced players alike--as well as some devilish ideas no pilot would dare try in real life.

Rating: - Excellent
Without the availability of all the VOR and NDB frequencies shown in the book it is very difficult to fly from one area of the country to another. I use it daily for all my flights. I realize these frequencies are available within the FS 98 program but this is more convenient.
Rating: - Completely useless book. Don't buy it.
I have the 5.1 Flight Simulator version of this book. That is indeed an interesting and stimulating book. I expected this one to be as interesting the 5.1 version and that was the reason for buying it. The Windows 95 version is a total deception. It offers virtually no interesting information, besides the one you can get browsing Flight Simulator's interface and help system.
Save your money. Avoid the book
