An additional benefit was the option to adopt the Vortex Studio simulation platform that CM Labs uses to create their own simulators — this would give IHC FUNDEX the ability to pursue additional simulation-based product engineering and development later.
“We chose to work with CM Labs due to their combination of proven track record, industry experience, and innovative technology,” says Rottier.
CM Labs proceeded to develop a custom simulator equipped with a motion platform, and integrated with actual F3500 seating and controls system.
CM Labs also provided a dedicated Instructor Operating Station (IOS), a trainee monitoring and assessment tool that automatically captures and reports on operating metrics during training sessions.
