I would argue the entire instrument is rendered useless in this situation, as the actual indicator becomes invisible.

The following screenshot illustrates this problem perfectly:

With quite a bit of effort you can still make out the indicator running diagonally trough the instrument. However in anything but a static screenshot it's pretty much unreadable.


A similar bug, relevant only to the Do-335 also exists with the prop pitch gauges. I've detailed this in the main post.
This subject on AH and general cockpit lighting is already under discussion in DT.
