Bomb aiming assist marker toggle key?

[Scarecrow]

I assume this is something new to 2.009 as ive never seen this before. Is there a way to turn it off? It doesn't respond to the aim assist toggle key and I can't find a separate key listed in the control commands. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hmmm, there used to be a "Bombing assist" option, but it's not there now.

 

Update: From what I can tell, both the aiming assist (guns) and bombing assist options are no longer controlled in cockpit. You must select those options in the Realism screen for SP missions or the MP server admin must select them in the server options. Note that there is a key bind for "Aiming help", but it appears to be inoperative.

Thanks Mastiff. I tried the "Aiming help" keybind and the "Aiming assist" option checkbox in the gunners position of a Pe-2, but neither of them did anything. I always saw the yellow aiming reticle when I took the gun and the red aiming reticle when I nestled to gunsight. The "Aiming assist" checkbox did activate/deactivate the red aiming reticle for the pilot's gun. Am I missing something re. how the gunners controls work?

I think it only works with the press of the T once if you nestle into the sight "shft-T"  I don't think it works.

Still no luck I'm afraid. Either a bug or a problem between mouse and chair.

It's a bug that I've previously reported but I haven't seen anyone else comment on. The aim trackers are enabled/disabled via the 'H' key right now which also hides the rest of the HUD.

 

Really they should be visible/not visible via the dedicated key for them. I'm assuming this has something to do with how they modified the rendering to support VR. Hopefully fixed soon.
