This thread is inspired by the discussions on two-seat planes.
...
Implementation of two-seat "trainers" just might be interesting.
Something like the UTI-26 for easier training purposes for newbies.
....
The trainer would sit in the back, and the trainee, with a join request, would get to sit in the front. In the special trainee's seat, unlike normal AH aircraft, important mechanisms such as the control lever, triggers, rudder and throttle will be visually represented in high-lighted colors when they are moving.
This might make on-line training a more enjoyable experience for the trainee, giving the feeling of an actual flight training..
and make it easier for the trainer.
When the trainer does a certain move, the way he uses the throttle, lever, flaps and etc will be visually shown to the trainee! It will be a lot more effective than just describing it by words, or a ''trainer" shooting the trainee down all the time.
.....
The controls would respond to both the trainer's and the trainee's joystick.. when both input a move, the authority goes to the trainer. This way, when a trainer does a move like the "barrel roll", for example, the trainee can watch how the rudders, levers and throttles move... and after watching, with the trainer checking him, he can try the move on his own. If the trainee makes a bad mistake, the trainer can immediately correct it if needed
For combat training, two trainer planes might do combat, with each trainees watching their trainers move and fight, how they control the angles, levers, throttles.. and etc. Just as in ACM training, they could practice a barrel-roll overshoot, for example, the trainer would do the move, and then, the trainee will get to try it out by himself!
The trainer planes might be allowed a "paint-ball pellet".. tracers and bullets fire, but hitting another plane won't damage either side.
I think this idea, if implemented, could revolutionize the training business
