Instead using this technology to make a simulator more like flying, how about we make flying more like a simulator?


I will not be surprised when pilots get a 360 degree view of the airspace around them without the annoyance of an opaque instrument panel in front of them. Whether that is done by wearing special glasses or plugging a wire into the base of their skulls remains to be seen.

Years from now when that happens, I will probably think that it is a bad thing and not "real flying".
