Wellington: how to remove cover on bombsight?

[lwalter]

The documentation says to use the "toggle sight dimmer" button, but it doesn't remove the cover of the Wellington bomb sight.

Is there any pre-requisite before you can do that? I tried both with and without leaning to gunsight and it doesn't work.

Switch to cockpit, and toggle sight dimmer, the bombsight cover should come off.

Tested it from inside the bombardier area.  Key works fine (may check your bindings)  Also you can use the mouse where it says " Grip Here Warning"  hovering mouse it will say toggle sight dimmer, click the mouse and it will open.  Make sure you turn on your gunsight to see the crosshairs.

Thanks!

Tried again. When I put the plane in autopilot to leave the pilot position for the bomber, then sight dimmer doesn't work. Only when I remove autopilot can I use the sight dimmer again.
