New Flight Sim Book Archive Launched

[Albert]

Kevin Savetz, curator of AtariArchives.org and the Classic Computer Magazine Archive, has launched a new archive site, FlightSimBooks.com. This new site features the full text of eleven classic flight simulation books. More than 2,200 printed pages have been digitized into 800+ web pages. The titles available are:

• Jet Fighter School and Jet Fighter School II by Richard G. Sheffield
• Flying on Instruments with Flight Simulator by Jonathan M. Stern
• Learning to Fly with Flight Simulator and Realistic Commercial Flying with Flight Simulator by John Rafferty
• 40 Great Flight Simulator Adventures, 40 More Great Flight Simulator Adventures, Flight Simulator Co-Pilot, Flying Flight Simulator, Runway USA, and A Flight Simulator Odyssey by Charles Gulick

These books, published from 1985-1989, cover flight simulators for a wide variety of platforms (including the Atari 8-bit and ST), featuring such titles as Microsoft Flight Simulator, Sublogic Flight Simulator software, 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.

I think that The Flight Simulator History Page is a good companion site to the above referenced link.
