Quote: "I've been involved in flight simulator maintenance of Su & MiG fixed-wing aircraft for more than 20 years now, & all these years, we have had a difficult time, to put it mildly. Situation with new equipment, we close to critical for a long time. No, we never gave up.
We did everything possible – repaired, modernised, updated software & engaged with Ukrainian manufacturers...Oldest simulators isto donors for slightly younger "colleagues".
We heard about "lack of funds" or "no time for this", but efforts of specialists are ready to run around the equipment day & night with soldering iron in their hands, managed to keep going. But everything heat up time & its resources, majority of our flight simulators have long since reached the end of their life.
Given current situation, Air Force analysing & technical possibilities is in search of efficient & cost-effective solutions. Transition to flight simulators employ virtual or fixed reality, gives pilot a sense of flight reality, a wider view angle. So developed countries have been using such simulators for the past many years. F-16s soon be in service with our brigades, is here is no option but to switch to the new simulators."
