Inside the virtual cab is a real Tigercat seat. Machine controls sets can be changed out so that the controls exactly match a real Tigercat harvester, forwarder or feller buncher.
The Tigercat D7 control system, the machine control system, instrument panels, and all the touchscreen interfaces are actual Tigercat components and software systems.
The rotating forwarder seat is simulated, allowing the trainee drive the forwarder facing either forward or backward.
The configurable thee-panel display system simulates the view to the outside world in remarkable detail.
The outside environment can be adjusted to recreate various weather and lighting conditions, like wind, rain, snow, and even night operation. It all contributes to a wider range of experience and a strong sense of realism for the operator trainees.
Terrain conditions, grade angles, and obstacles seamlessly interact with the simulator software and motion platform to provide a multi-sensory virtual experience. Everything the operator sees and experiences outside is reinforced because it sounds and feels real.

Motions and movements are simulated in the virtual environment with their true physical properties, including mass and moment of inertia.
Combined with feedback from the motion platform, operator trainees get true feel for machine operation.
The trainee will see the grapple swing and feel the motion of the crane reaching. These realistic details really enhance the learning experience.
The Tigercat simulator is equipped with a comprehensive training program.
The trainee progresses through various exercises from basic controls, to plantation harvesting and rough terrain operations.
Trainees have the opportunity to adjust machine control system parameters and immediately observe the impact of these changes on machine performance and behavior.
The student training journey is coupled with advanced metrics and reporting to objectively gauge aptitude and progress.
