Systems and methods include providing a virtual reality ("VR") flight emulator (100) that simulates control, operation, and response of a vehicle. The flight emulator (100) includes a control interface (102) and a head-mounted display (108) worn by a user (110). The user (110) of the flight emulator (100) can virtually teleport into a slave virtual or remote aircraft (204) in order to assume control of the slave virtual or remote aircraft (204). Motion of, orientation of, and/or forces acting on the slave virtual or remote aircraft (204) are imparted to a user (110) through a plurality of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) devices (117) when the user (110) of the flight emulator (100) is virtually teleported into the slave virtual or remote aircraft (204). The flight emulator (100) can be connected through a communication network (208) to a plurality of other flight emulators (100). The flight emulator (100) can also be installed in an aircraft and connected through the communication network (208) to a plurality of other remote aircraft (204a1-n).
