A system for aligning a simulator arranged for firing a mounted on a weapon. The simulator has a radiation source arranged so as to emit a beam along a simulation axis, and for adjusting the simulation axis so that it is aligned with the weapon sight. The system includes a sighting mark at which the weapon sight is to be aimed during alignment, and a device arranged in connection with the sighting mark to emit beam along an axis representing an aligned simulation axis. The system further includes an aligning unit that is deployable at the simulator and in which at least a first part of the beam from the element is reflected along an axis representing the current position of the simulation axis. Position-indicator are arranged so that the beam along the axis representing the aligned beam strikes the position-indicator at a point representing a set-point value for the simulation axis, and so that the beam along the axis representing the current simulation axis strikes the position-indicator at a point representing an actual value for the simulation axis.
