Yup, indeed this is just marketing speak, no "official" blessing at all. The publisher approached me approx. two years ago in order to make we write this book (apparently I declined to do so) but apparently forgot to let anyone proof-read the book before it got into print .... The book indeed contains some small glitches, but to my impression these are not too serious not to recomment this book. I'd say it is a really good start for Joe Average into using FlightGear and it'll keep him busy exploring new features for a while. By comparing its level to that of the popular "Data Becker" books - do they still exist ? - then I'd certainly consider this FlightGear book as superior, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
