 Under the radar, into the trees, crash and burn November 20, 2006

I don't know who Bart Farkas is and based on this hack job I hope I never do. Did anyone read this "book" much less proofread it before publication? How can one copy text, practically verbatim from the in game help files, and still have so many typos(3-4 to a page), not to mention inaccurate information, incorrect photos, etc.? We should coin a new phrase in the publishing industry, "a bartfarkas job" for when greed and incompetence totally replace writing, useful information and editing .
Just read the in-game info October 24, 2006

There is almost nothing in this book that is not found in the in-game information. In fact, much of the text here is just copied directly from the game. It may be slightly handy to have the info on your desktop but it's not worth the money.

This book is nothing but fancy advertisement. It only tells you some of the things that Flight Simulator X does. It does not explain how anything is accomplished. Absolute waste of money if you are looking for explanations.
Practically Worthless October 17, 2006

If it didn't have a short precis of each mission, then it would be completely worthless. I was looking for something more along the lines of one of Andy Herd's FSX reviews found at Flightsim website. And Andy's reviews are free! I paid over $20 for this waste of time and paper. Does the writer, Bart G. Farkas, really think people buying this manual are looking to find out the basics of how a plane stays aloft? We wanted the FSX secrets, the down & dirty stuff that only a collaborator with the programmers could have written. What we got was a 2nd grade book report on the very basics of aviation. Save your money, or review a copy before purchasing. You've been warned.

Although the reviewers of October 14, 2006 rated this FSX Guide very poorly. they have inadvertently strengthened the product by giving a very useful and informative errata to the Guide. We applaud their specificity. We also look forward to an immediate, upgraded corrected FSX Guide from Prim Game Guides.
