SARboy: Where I come from the mil aren't blinking at the cost of sim fidelity. It costs what it costs - what matters is that the sim mimics the real McCoy exactly. And the reason for this: MAA
Welcome (military) to the world of the CAA!
In the 2010 SDSR it was advertised by the Government that 15% of all mil trng would be synthetic by 2015 and by 2025: 50% of ALL trng would be synthetic.
Currently more and more Typhoon trng is going synthetic and the F35 will have 90% of its basic training course in the sim
95% of ab initio S92 training for SAR will be on the sim and only 2hrs will take place in the real a/c.
