Immersive Technologies' Training Simulator for a Caterpillar Mining Haul Truck

[WindowsSoftwareDe]

they should make a mmorpg version of this

[motoman194]

not bad but this is fucking awsome!

[fir3mandan]

I had a play on this simulator at Aimex this year. It is an excellent piece of kit and very close to how the real thing feels and responds.

[THChristopherJames]

i want this in my house!

[RoyAndrew911]

2:14 Truck is 789B... however the simulator has not that truck!!! hahah Epic Fail

[Noobsgonewild21]

Shit. No Top comments... I have to fix this... Umm.... Hi Mom!

[justin905able]

where did you get it

[cornishrob123]

i was always taught that retarder should never be used to stop at slow speeds should always use the foot brake?

[cornishrob123]

he used retarder to stop ? is that not naughty

[Gavin84w]

@cornishrob123 aghhhh, no, that is what you are meant to do.

[SgtSkullFog]

would be funny if someone try to blame it on lag LMAO

[shaunwhite0]

don't put studs in a simulator, let'em practice in a real veichle

[TheBoogymannn]

no it dose not cost one million the real life trucks cost like 5-8 million

[dannyking98]

i bet it cost $1 million vot up if u agree

[fordlukebo]

@dannyking98 MORE THAN THAT.

[300xcw2banger]

we have the 930e ones at out mine and its the most pointless thing in the world. very fake feel. only good for fire supps training .

[TheOliverdahlhanssen]

where can i buy it please send me massage

[hellish200808]

when learning how to drive these trucks u have to know the gauges, switches, light indicators, steering, breaking functions, also the emergency procedures know ur walk around inspection, function of oil systems and air tanks, its easy im taking a course i know all the things i need to know in just 1 week, any one can do it, i think it will feel good with all that hourse power in my control, maybe boring but its good cash for that nice car!!! gotta know what ur doing it dangerous, injury,deaths.

[brotherhood984]

@hellish200808 i was told its a waste of time taking a course because after completion of the course the chances of getting a job as a dump truck driver is next to nil.They want you to have at least 5yrs experience

[hellish200808]

@brotherhood984 i agree with u on that sir, i tried applying for an operator in the mines and small contruction projects with this simulator training certificate ,and with safety certificates no luck so gave up on that :(...best bet is to take hands on training..even though u would have to start on small projects..work ur way up the ladder till u get a good quality job, prob take u few yrs...the simulator training just gives u a basic idea of the machine i guess..but it was easy as driving a car

[brotherhood984]

@hellish200808 i wouldn't stop trying because of a few nock backs you spent the money & the time give it a real go,because once you get in the money is awesome.i asked my uncle who's been working in the mines for over fifteen yrs he said it better to have done the dumpy course cause it gives you an advantage over people who want to do the same thing too but don't have any experience.the best way i heard is to work 4 a small company that does subcontracting for the mines get any position ucan

[brotherhood984]

@brotherhood984 get any position u can.Drillers offsider any low level mine entry job.You'll be put on a 3 to 6 months probation if you work hard and the mining company likes your work they'll put u onto there books full time,then they'll train u up in different courses and mate they pay for all of them,I don't know were you live but i live in australia brisbane and there r a lot of new mines opening up 1 mine i know of wants 3000 workers to start up at the beginning.

[grovar66]

@brotherhood984 Hi there mate just been browsing this site seen your comments ,you seem to know a bit about how to get into the work in the mines what the best way of making contact with these companys to get your foot thought the door looking at wanting this tyupe of work any info would be great

cheers

[hellish200808]

@brotherhood984 thanks man!!!, i prob do hands on training soon as i have the time, get a feel for the machines...in the mean time gotta support my fam.

[brotherhood984]

@hellish200808 mate that's what it's all about taking care of your family,if you know anyone that's in the mines hit them up they might be able to talk to someone who can pull a few strings to get you in.well take it easy mate hope you get there,remember don't give up and take any job that will get you in the door through subcontractors.lets me know you do mate.later

[stefangrujicic]

[stefangrujicic]

@Markofutog gde ima za 300 din ?nadji za 100 ja kupuujem !

[pennergameer]

kann man das kaufen - wenn ja wo?

[pennergameer]

where can i buy it ?

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

@pennergameer Got a spare 300,000 US dollars? loool.

[1234niall]

is that lever on the steering wheel the brake?

[red2lucas]

@1234niall yeah it's called a retarder brake. You use it down ramps and to slow the truck, and at high speeds. Then you use the service brake (which is like a huge disk brake in a car) when you're under 10kph

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

@red2lucas In the new Liebherr's dump trucks they have regenerative braking don't they? Basically using backforce of the motor/generator when going down a slope. Amazing technology, it's basically a hybrid diesel system like in diesel trains.

[shortthrow50]

driving these trucks is fun for like 2 days. After that it is a very boring and repitious job. Nothing like going in circles all day. Glad i dont do it anymore

[scorchedsound]

@shortthrow50 I'm sure that's part of the job. What did you expect? I can't believe you went and did all the training expecting not to go around in circles.

[shortthrow50]

@scorchedsound dude. i didnt do any simulator training. i did it many years ago after i got out of the military. I dont understand why someone would need a simulator to learn to drive off road trucks anyway. they have trainer seats in them. its either in your blood or it isnt. didnt mean to offend you. I made a statement on my opinion about the severe boringness of the job.

[sa11ee]

@shortthrow50 haha dont see that i'm about to start my new job driving these! :P

[topbench]

its not like the real thing...top rate at our mine is 52 dololars per hour

[pyramyde1]

@topbench that is a bit of alot of money right? im in europe and in euros that is a lot 2 b paid every hour

[itsajeepthing20]

how much do you get paid

[quackbeef]

this looks like fun, but i am sure in real life it isn't....

[miguellevesque]

Will start training on there in March 2010!!!! Cant wait
