lavictoireestlavie Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I just heard that the Challenger 2 simulator does not come with a driver position. Is this true ?For me it does not make much sense for the designers of the simulators to leave out such an essential position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR2_Commander Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It depends on which simulator you're on about. The PTT (Part Task Trainer) is just a gunners position for training. The Turret Gunnery Trainer (TGT) is a full gunners and commanders mock up and the ones in the Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (CATT) is a full mock up including the drivers position. Then there is the driver training simulator, drivers position only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 we only have turret trainer (ETT), driver trainer (EP), and crew trainer (SEE), the 2 laters are moving platform. 4 Crew trainers can be linked to form the platoon trainer (SEP).And if we want more, we rend the CATT at Warminster or at Sennelager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavictoireestlavie Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Froggy, thanks for the information ! So can you partially program the individual simulators to represent a certain vehicle? I thought they were more or less vehicle specific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 commands and caracteristics are vehicule specific; visually Challenger 2 is replaced by AMX40 (even they argue it was a Leclerc mod...), but still running at 25km/h in cross crountry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazFarote Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's about funding, do we make a driver's station or do we use better graphics to train the commander and gunner? That's the main reason we don't see many full-crew simulators.If you had an unlimited budget, why even use a simulator? Just use that cash to pay for fuel and ammunition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
