From the EDITOR..
November already… Our Combat Sim Guru, Derek Davis, is busy compiling our full review of UbiSoft’s Pacific Fighters title for the December issue. In accordance with that release, we are giving away some great Pacific Fighters prize packs, and the time to enter is now! Be sure to check out the competition details in this month’s issue and get your entry in to win free Pacific Fighters titles and a cool Saitek controller system!
I must send kudos to Mark Jakubowski, our magazine manager in the USA, and Adrian Lazzarotto, our magazine manager in Australia. Both these gentleman do a great job ensuring subscribers receive their issues right across the globe and handle enquiries relating to their subscriptions. Keep up the great work!
This month we also welcome a new member to the team. Ben Ippolito, a certified flight instructor, will now be writing our instrument flying lessons on a regular basis. His first lesson is featured in this month’s issue and offers some excellent instruction on Parallel Runway Operations. Additionally, Ben has also found time to review the new CRJ 2004 package. Welcome aboard!
Please enjoy the November issue, our 62nd issue of Computer Pilot Magazine. I think once the 75th issue rolls around, we will do something extra special for you all… but for now, ensure your seat trays are locked in the upright position, your seat belt is fastened and enjoy the rest of the journey.
