A VR simulator, especially one at SAO's level, cannot replicate the myriad of physical forces that will be exerted on a pilot's body, it can't accurately replicate how a user's body will react in a real world scenario, which greatly limits its usefulness as a primary training tool. There's a reason why we're still using live-fire range for training, instead of using only the ISMT - the same principle goes for both military and civilian pilots.
Now if you're talking about a Holodeck, that's another story  |
The problem with this is that SAO really does act like a holodeck. Aside from the removal of pain it was created to be as realistic to the players as possible. Kirito even mentioned how much lighter the kendo sword was compared to his virtual blades. SAO imitated real world physics very well, to the players trapped it really did feel like living in another world.
