## About This Content
Pushing The Envelope is a set of five challenging missions for FSX: Steam
Edition. Each will push your abilities to the limit, with a wide variety of
aircraft and locations across the globe.
You will need considerable skill to complete these flight tests, ranging from
a tail scrape test in the 747 to a high altitude demonstration in the F/A-18.
These missions will demand great skill and ability, and a good background
knowledge of aviation theory will be of great benefit.
Some complex topics will be discussed such as aircraft performance and
stability. Further reading would supplement this series and expand your flying
skills and knowledge.
Produced by a real-world airline pilot, missions are accompanied by full audio
commentary, special effects, pre-flight briefing, many additional scenery
objects and rewards.
