... and the Navy is very right!
When are Flight Academies and other organisations involved in pilot training going to recognise that FS is an excellent training tool? It's high time!
Many happy landings,

I think that Formula 1-drivers are using formula 1-games too to have a good idea on the track.

Virtual training for pilot candidates as a standard is long overdue. The concept has been around since the first aircraft simulator - nothing more than a wooden box with some stubby wings and a joystick. Flying a T-34 (or other student aircraft) on a large screen with good sims - just makes sense.

Cheers!
