  8. Advantages Eliminates the danger Less expensive than using a real plane Helps give the pilot experience of a real environment Disadvantages The training can only be as good as the program Pilot cockpit training

  9. Gaming Advantages • Can add to the gaming experience such as having animated people with various attributes • Visual, sound and sensation effects can be added Disadvantages • The person can start believing in the unreal • The equipment to play the games is sophisticated
