PC Pilot nice deal

You can digitally subscribe to PC Pilot for $12.99 for 6 months. I use the PC Pilot app from the App Store.

the magazine has a fresh new look. Worth the money.
 
Be sure to look through their back issues - PC Pilot has carried some excellent tutorials over the past few years, covering aircraft such as the PMDG MD-11 and NGX, and more recently the DCS Mig-21. In fact, I think some of them are now available as stand-alone publications.

I've been getting the paper version for the last few years, and with the latest issue, they've stopped doing cover discs. No great loss - most of the content was widely available free on the web anyway.
 
I assume PC Pilot is the same magazine on both sides of the pond. The latest issue, #109, for May and June, comes without a cover disc, and the editor Derek Davis gives the reasons inside. All the content you would have normally received on the disc will now be available for download at their website.
 
Yes it is, my Safeway used to carry it (the manager of the store was English and must have been a closet simmer) when Sobeys took over and he went then that particular periodical seems to have gone with him.
 
I get most of my magazines on the ipad, ( e.g. Ships Monthly, Aeroplane, Flypast etc ) but I've stuck with the paper version of PC Pilot for some reason. Of course, the E-version means you can download back issues instantly, which is good if there's a tutorial series for an aircraft you have just bought. But I agree - it's nice to have that physical paper version in your hands.

Physical paper in your hand equals less physical paper in your wallet. I found that English flying mags of all sorts 200% better than American ones. Chock full of in depth stories and meaty news items but expensive to purchase in US newstands.

anyway, still a great deal for the money
 
Bob, typically, if you pay £4.99 over here for a magazine in a shop, it is around £3.99 by download. I do recommend Aeroplane ( or Aeroplane Monthly, to give it it's old title, which I still use ). I believe it's the longest-running aviation periodical in the world, first published in 1911, and now covers the vintage aircraft and restoration scene. Every month it features an extensive profile of a chosen aircraft from history. The Stratocruiser profile was excellent.
