Please note that different militaries around the world use various names for a full-mission simulator. Some of these include operational flight trainer (OFT), dynamic mission simulator (DMS), combat mission simulator (CMS), weapon systems trainer (WST), or full-flight and mission simulator (FFMS). For example, the US Air Force refers to all of their full-mission simulators as "WSTs" regardless if the aircraft platform carries weapons or not, while the US Army uses the term CMS, and the Australian Defence Forces use the term FFMS.
