Can't dim gunsight reticle independent from flight path vector anymore

[Snappy]

Hi,

previously it was possible during approach phase when you put the optical sight into approach mode to display the FPV on the sight , that you could dim the gunsight reticle with the MOVING AND TARGET RETICLES INTENSITY RHEOSTAT , so it doesnt interfere/block your clear view through the sight during approach.

Now this is not possible anymore, because when you dim the gunsight reticle, the FPV also gets dimmed simulteanously. So if you make the gunsight reticle insivible with the rheostat, you also lose the FPV indication.

Was this an intentional change, because the previous behaviour was incorrect?Or an inadvertent bug?

Short track attched showing the behaviour on the ground in take off position.

Kind regards,
Snappy

Yes, it was an intentional change.

It is correct as it is now. It was changed a few updates ago, according to our sources (NWS manual).
