Customise the landscape and forest stands

The Scenario Editor enables custom design of forest stands in the simulation. By choosing the appropriate tree species, terrain and forest density, the operator can train under the same conditions found in the forest. Choose between birch, pine and spruce. An instructor can also manually “paint” trees in the terrain.

Train in groups and collaborate

With the multiplayer function, two simulators can operate in the same virtual environment. A forwarder and a harvester can interact and the statistics will present their combined results.

Operator Performance System

The OPS is a powerful database and reporting tool that manages simulator users and tracks the usage of the simulator. The system collects during each session and provides an extensive report on safety, performance and economical KPI’s.

A teacher station is available as option, where the instructor has a more dynamic view and can zoom in and out, and observe machines from various angles. The instructor can set up learning paths to ensure that the student is reaching their educational goals. The instructor can also pause the simulation, record video clips and create comments with time stamps.
