From the EDITOR..

Greetings fellow virtual pilots and welcome yet again to another bumper issue of Computer Pilot Magazine. I am sure by now that you would have noticed your magazine has an added feature this issue. Yes! It’s our first ever Cover CD, and it’s the latest addition to the magazine which will become a regular monthly bonus.

This is a very exciting addition to the magazine which will no doubt enhance your flight simulation experience, plus give you even more value for the same issue/subscription price. The Cover CD is a gift from us to you, as valued supporters of Computer Pilot.

This month also marks my 23rd issue as Editor of the magazine. Boy, does time really fly! With the release of the Cover CD came a press release from magazine publisher, Robert Ferraro. In that text, he noted the huge changes we have made to the magazine in the last 12 months which again, we are certainly excited, and proud about achieving:

“1. Doubled the frequency from 6 issues per year to 12 issues per year.

2. Increased the size of the magazine from 68 pages to 84 pages

3. Reduced the effective price per subscription issue by 35% and

4. Now we're delivering a quality cover CD-ROM software compilation every month with every issue.

For a small magazine in a small industry, we're quite proud of the increased value we keep delivering as we are able to do so.”

Stick around folks, because we have another cargo load of improvements, additions and exciting new content to come in the next 12 months of Computer Pilot Magazine – The World’s ONLY monthly, dedicated, hard copy flight simulation publication!
