Day 17 - September 18th
Today the QTG testing continued, we ran a cable from the host to an upstairs briefing room for the new Brief/Debrief station and the motion was driven to it's excursion limits. Some more hardware was installed on the motion base and work continued in and around the flight deck.
The visual projectors have been mounted on their pedestals

These two pictures show the brackets where a brace can be installed to support the sim while a motion jack is removed for maintenance.
Sim carpet laid out to flatten before installation
Seems like every time I turn around there's another Engineer on site
Today SimX removed the protective paper from the cockpit windows. The wrinkles you see are the unstretched visual mirror beyond.
The third instructor's seat was removed at the request of the A320 Fleet Manager to make more room in the cockpit. In most cases there will only be one instructor in the sim at a time, so the 3rd seat was extraneous and would most likely just be in the way.

4 projectors? I guess after the initial setup you wont have to worry about adjusting the blend or edges again?
Sutherland looks to happy. :P
Yup. The blend zones are handled automatically and are invisible. Maintenance time is about 1/10 that of the tube-type projector system on the Thales sim we have.
