Driving instruction on the simulator can be carried out both individually and as part of a unit when performing a general educational task.

For example, with individual training on the simulator, the following standards are worked out.

The driver performs standard algorithms according to the reminder to the driver of the T-80U tank, namely, makes a landing through the hatch 5 on the seat 10, closes the hatch 5 with a turning mechanism 24 and lift 23, while the cover 22 acts on the sensor 25, and then turns on the instrument shield 16 BATTERY switch, sets the mode switch to position 2 (START), the tachometer switch to position TC II, from 8 Operation

closes valves 56 of the simulator of air cylinders 14, the sensor 58 is activated, the valve 60 of the fuel valve simulator 15 is turned to the ALL TANKS position, the sensor 62 is triggered, and electrical signals from the instrument panel 16 and from the simulator sensors are transmitted to the instructor’s computer via computerized control equipment to control the correct action of the driver.

Simulation of the movement of the tank with the specified road conditions by the instructor is as follows.

The driver sends a warning signal by pressing the SIGNAL button of the instrument panel 16, depresses the RSA pedal 53 until it stops and the electric sensor trips, sets the gear selector lever 32 to position 1 or 2, and starts moving from its place.

Next, the driver driver increases the fuel supply by pressing the pedal 47 of the fuel delivery simulator 13, while the segment pulley 36 is rotated by the shaft 50, through the flexible coupling 37 it rotates the pulley 38 of the potentiometer 39, which generates an electric signal in a level proportional to the value of the pedal 47.

2, controlled by a motion simulation unit, performs oscillations consistent with the relief of a given path, simulating the actual movement of the tank over rough terrain.

When cornering, the driver presses one of the levers 34, depending on the direction of rotation, while the shaft 35 is rotated with a segmented pulley 36, through a flexible connection 37 rotation is transmitted to the pulley 38 of the potentiometer 39, which generates a level signal proportional to the lever 34.

At the initial stroke of the lever 34, the signal level of the potentiometer 39 supplied to the computer control equipment simulates the rotation of the tank with a free radius.

With the further course of the lever 34, a rotation with a radius less than free is simulated.

In the final position of the lever 34 with the maximum signal level, the rotation of the tank with the calculated radius is simulated.

The simulator provides control from the remote instructor of the exercise with automatic recording of all exercises performed by students from the moment they are turned on.

The instructor has the opportunity to introduce emergency situations (malfunctions and failures of the units and systems of the tank) into the learning process and to analyze the lessons together with the students in viewing mode.

Thus, this useful model solved the problem of creating a simulator for the driver, equipped with a system that synthesizes the color visual environment of the terrain and provides an increase in the quality of driving instruction, for example, the T-80U tank.
