CM Labs sets industry benchmark with new Dozer Simulator Training Pack
September 12, 2018—CM Labs Simulations has announced the release of a state-of-the-art Dozer Simulator Training Pack that allows trainees to experience the unique feel of pushing soil and aggregate material from the seat of a virtual dozer. Trainees can perform both heavy excavation and fine grading with the simulator’s 6-way blade, and dozer tracks even slip based on operator behavior. This enables trainees to learn precision techniques—and efficiency—in an environment that poses no risk to them or to the equipment. The realism is based on the training solution’s unique ability to engage a simulated transmission and engine the moment the virtual blade touches virtual soil.
