already reported EA Manual not correct. Undocumented function on collective

[Requiem_Alpha]

On page 66 of the early access manual it say:
Boresight/Polarity. 
•  PLRT. Toggles FLIR image polarity (black-hot or white-hot). 
•  B/S. No function. 

But the B/S key actually resets the boresighting if the action Boresight/Polarity Switch - B/S is bound in the control options and pressed when in the cockpit. It acts like pressing Cursor Enter - Depress when in the acutal boresighting mode, but without the prequsite of being on the weapon page

Because it shouldn't be. The manual is accurate, the function being present in game is not.

That would be fine by me. One switch position more on my collective to bind to something else.
If this switch acted in reality like ingame I can easily see why Boeing got rid of that function in our Apache model. It's way to easy to mess up your boresighting in flight if you accidentally press that switch.

one of the mods has reported this already the action Boresight/Polarity Switch - B/S will be removed.

When the switch worked, it was only active when you entered the boresight mode on the MPD. It wouldn’t change your boresight if you accidentally hit it.

The issue with the manual will be changed. 

The team have decided to leave the BS function in as users have got used to it. 

thanks

That's not how things should work though. The functionality in game currently is incorrect and the manual is correct not the other way around, if everything people get used to in early access gets left in because they are used to it then a lot of errors will never get fixed at all.  

If its gonna be left in then if should be made a special option like other work arounds/ cheats
