It is just me or have we lost the distance to a choosen location in 1.6....

Previously when you were flying to a red beacon/location marker you could see the distance to the location.... but not anymore?

Or have i missed something real obvious?

Yeah, it's gone.

'Tis gone and I can't think of a single reason why. Perhaps with avatar beacons which tend to get confused as an AV crosses a sim, but for static landmarks? Maybe the build rulers used up all the measurement quota. :confused:

I posted about it to the Hotline a few days ago. This is the response I received from Pathfinder:

That's a known issue. We're working to fix it ASAP. Thank you for the feedback!
