What degree would someone need to get in order to pursue a career in developing the software for flight simulators?

A career in developing flight simulators would requires a multidisciplinary knowledge base. The purpose of the finished product (whether it is a game or a professional training device) would influence the degree needed. As a potential game developer a degree in computer science, computer programming or software development would be most appropriate. For designing training type simulators these degrees would be most useful although physics or aeronautical engineering would undoubtedly useful.
