2 Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 -- Pilot's Guide
Welcome to Microsoft Flight Simulator 98
Feel the Force
If you have a force-feedback joystick like the Microsoft SideWinder® Force Feedback Pro joystick, you can experience a new level of realism in Microsoft Flight Simulator 98. You'll feel your wheels rolling down the runway and the stick shake in a stall, sense trim forces as you change speeds and power settings, and encounter other effects that make pulling Gs more than a game. To set options for a force-feedback joystick, click Custom Controls on the Options menu and then click the Forces tab.
New Sights and Sounds
3-D acceleration using DirectX and other advanced graphics technology make scenery pop to life. Flight Simulator supports the latest graphics hardware to show you more detail and improved performance. Even if you don't have 3-D hardware, new mipmapping and image-smoothing techniques improve the out-thewindow view. New digitized sounds--from wind noise and tire squeals to whining jet turbines and electronic warnings--immerse you in a realistic flying environment. To set sound options, click Preferences on the Options menu and then click the Display & Sound tab.
Multiplayer
Multiplayer capability puts you in crowded skies via the Internet Gaming Zone (http://www. zone. com), a network, or a direct connection between two computers. Challenge other pilots to an aerobatic competition on the Internet Gaming Zone. Or put yourself in the control tower and try to keep everyone else organized. To join or host a multiplayer session, click Multiplayer on the Flights menu and follow the instructions on your screen.
More Airports and Scenery
Flight Simulator 98 gives you the globe. You can take off from more than 3, 000 airports worldwide--10 times more than in previous versions. You'll also find detailed scenery, including atlas data (roads, rivers, lakes) for the U. S. and Europe and over 45 new metropolitan areas, including more than 20 new U. S. And if you like to fly low,

watch out for thousands of new buildings, towers, antennas, and other obstacles. Click Dynamic Scenery on the World menu.
New Adventures
Try a cross-Channel hop from Paris to London or take command of an airline flight from LAX to JFK. A logbook full of new adventures will have you taking off on realistic flights with air traffic control instructions, emergencies, and other surprises that test your skills. To make sure you're prepared before each flight, review the Preflight Briefings. To fly an adventure, click Adventures on the Flights menu.
Flight School
Whether you're a novice or seasoned Flight Simulator pilot, you'll find more lessons to hone your flying skills. You can try introductory flights to learn the basics of flying a specific aircraft, or take advanced lessons on such skills as ILS approaches and holding patterns. To review background information about aerodynamics, aircraft systems, navigation, and other subjects, click Pilot Training on the Help menu. Before you take off, make sure you review the Preflight Briefings that prepare you for each lesson. To fly a lesson, click Lessons on the Flights menu.
An Online Aviation Library
The updated online Help includes topics on subjects from aerodynamics and advanced flying techniques to aircraft instruments and systems, weather, navigation, regulations, and human factors. [. . . ] MM
