CM Labs Simulations, developer of Vortex training simulators, has updated its Motor Grader Simulator Training Pack to include an operator scoring feature.

The new version of the Motor Grader Training Pack tracks all operating metrics during training exercises and rolls them up into a single score that updates in real time. These metrics include cycle time, blade efficiency, number of blade contacts with wheels or obstacles, grade quality, idle time, and fuel consumption.

Organizations can customize the scoring system to take their most important success criteria into consideration. This allows instructors to objectively re-assess operators after every training session, if needed, in order to meet training objectives more rapidly.

The update for the Motor Grader Training Pack also implements new earthmoving technology that allows trainees to feel the dirt in front of the blade, which is essential when learning how to efficiently operate a motor grader.

In addition, the training features a high-precision blade and real-life advanced effects such as side-draft. The training pack also incorporates self-guided learning features, including previews of each training exercise, and best-practice hints.

The training pack is available for deployment on any Vortex simulator.
