TACAN Needles Inverted on the BDHI

It seems to me that the BDHI needles are inverted, either their indication on the manual or in game:

In the manual, it is stated that the number 1 needle points to the number 1 navigation source as selected by the Navigation Mode Selector Switch. By the manual, with the Navigation Source Mode Selector Switch in the Up position, the number 1 needle should point to the ADF station and number 2 to the TACAN source. In the manual, it is shown that the number 1 needle is the larger needle and the number 2 it is the thinner needle.

But in game, I've found it to be the opposite. The larger needle is pointing to the TACAN station and the thinner needle is pointing elsewhere. For example, in order to test it, I set the NAV to a pure TACAN station at Groom Lake (18X) and watched the needles position; the larger needle points to the TACAN station, the thinner points elsewhere. 

I believe that the behavior for one of them is wrong or the manual is incorrect.

Thank you. Its the manual to blame.

The thin needle is the Nr.1 needle and the thick is Nr.2 needle.

Will be fixed asap 👍
