Do any flight simulators exist that introduce oxygen system failures? Altitude chamber visits are good idea, but the next logical step is to familiarize pilots with the effects of hypoxia under a normal work load. To produce an accurate and realistic effect, would the simulator need the "cockpit" to be in a pressure chamber? I wonder if changing the ratio of oxygen to nitrogen/(some other inert gass) would be sufficient. Don't mind me, I currently boggling my mind with thoughts of how virtual reality will impact the future of instrument flight, as we know it today.
