books?

[beaky]

It definitely pays to know some specific things for specific aircraft... correct airspeeds, power and flap settings, etc...
But  you may find a real-life airliner manual to be a bit overwhelming and not very useful for flight-simming.

There are "distilled" versions for flight sim- Werner Schott made up some excellent ones; just do a search of his name in the Downloads section here at SimV. The files are even made to be printed up into little booklets which are pretty handy.
There are probably many similar manuals out there, but these are the ones I've used, and they are excellent.

These are the full-strength editions. And they come in mighty handy too.

lol, that is quite a thick book bsw727. .. are you a pilot sir?? if so i have one quick question, do you have to memorize every part of those books?
and by the way tnx for all the replies guys

[BSW727]

Yes, but not on that aircraft. No you don't memorize much of it at all. Only some emergency memory items.

[rvtmendoza]

ahh, what plane are you flying sir?

[BSW727]

None at the moment, my medical has lapsed due to the cost of flying.

I'm signed off on several Cessna aircraft up to the 177RG & 182RG, the Mooney M20, Piper PA-22 & PA-28 and the Decathalon.

one question, do those aircraft in the sim fly the same as in real life?

[BSW727]

No, but the 172 is close enough for instrument practise. I haven't flown any of the others.

I have a Carendo 206, but I've never flown that in the real world so I can't say how good it is, but it's seems to be very close to a heavy 182RG.

With books that size, as BSW says, there are only parts that need to committed to memory. For other bits and pieces, you just need to have a working knowledge of a document to know where things are.
