Using aircraft allows the pilot to experience inflight upset with real gravitational forces, vestibular stimulation and levels of mental stress that can only be delivered in an aircraft. This live training can add significantly to the virtual experience gained in the flight simulator.
Simulators also have benefits, primarily
