Day 25 - September 26th

While having a look around the sim today I noticed that the shutters had been installed on the projectors. They have been incorporated by CAE to reduce the amount of light permitted through the projection lens during dusk and night scenes. When the instructor switches out of a daytime scene, or the simulated time of day is late enough, these shutters activate and close off most of the light coming from the projector. The picture is not affected, just the total amount of light available. This is done to help maintain clean blend zones. Blend zones are the areas where the picture from each projector overlap its neighbors.
