It is much cheaper (and safer) to let a fledgling pilot crash in a simulator than to crash a real plane while learning the nuances of flight.

Why are flight simulators are used to train new pilots?

Flight simulators are used to train new pilots because it is safest and cheapest. It allows students to learn from small and big mistakes, and to experience emergency situations without killing anyone.


Where can you find detailed step-by-step videos on how to dogfight World War II style in flight simulators like Wings of Prey?

The flight simulators of WW2 were very basic simulators that helped a student get the feel of flying. Some were used to teach pilots to operate at night to see if they would get disoriented. There were no combat simulators at all.The principal pilot trainer used during World War II was the Link Trainer. Some 10,000 were produced to train new pilots of allied nations, many in the USA and Canada because many pilots were trained in those countries before returning to Europe or the Pacific to fly combat missions.


How do pilots train?

pilots train by first going through tough theory first then they go through flight simulation and get a feel for what there going to be flying and then the take a plane with an instructor and go for a fly :)


What are the disadvantages of using a flight simulator to train pilots?

Mainly the feedback (or lack of it) are not the same is in flight and that you know you are in a simulator; no one knows exactly what they will do when in an actual emergency.

What state of the art computer teachnology is used to train pilots when wanting to copy the experience of flying an aircraft?

Well the real "state of the art" element of simulated pilot training is really in the physical components. It is one thing to have great software that simulates the best graphics but the real kicker is when pilots are put in mock cockpits with all the same controls that they would find in an actual airplane. You see using a mouse and keyboard to train pilots to fly just wouldn't cut it, so in simulations, pilots control a virtual plane from a mock cockpit that moves and responds to their input from real controls.
