user error Disappearing HMD retical when slaved to the HUD

[Nialfb]

I have aligned my HMD from a cold start. In flight, I can slave the SOI to my hud and the centre dot appears. If I turn on my HMD and then slave to the HUD, the centre dot flashes momentarily, goes out and I do not see the reticle in the HMD. It used to work fine and has only started misbehaving if I carry out an HMD alignment.

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

Are you in A-G master mode?  You won't get a reticle in the HMD if you're not (just a cross IIRC).

I'm assuming you realize that the HMD will blank when you're looking at the HUD unless you turn off HUD BLANKING in the settings for the HMD.
