Following your reports on the presence of bugs on our MB-339 that were resolved by changelog, we contacted the ED to investigate the problem. Unfortunately it seems that the changes have not been incorporated by the new DCS World hotfix but we have been assured that they will be available with the next update of DCS World OB.
We apologize for the inconvenience, we are working to close the reports as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience.

Just seen the change-log for new OB version 2.8.0.32235.1: no tracks of 339 fixes.

Do ED just forget to add them the CL or... ?

Some files in my DCS_World_OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\MB-339 folder have today's date (MB339A.dll, FM config.lua, some training missions and so on...), so maybe there were changes, but they are only missing in ED's patch notes or are these changes which were missing last time but were present in change notes. 🤣

I guess @6S.Duke is busy finding this out.

 

Update: There is a message on discord, that the changes didn't make it in the patch. They are working on it. Don't know it this means, there will be an ED hotfix?

I guess something has changed, the warning panel looks a bit better. There previously was a background which was too black. This is no more the case or it's my eyes 🤓

The IFE discord got a post a couple hours ago in the news channel:

Quote

DCS MB-339 users please be informed that the DCS Open Beta released today does not include the fixes to the MB-339 we have been working on. These will be released as soon as possible - thanks for your patience and understanding.

New patch incoming... maybe this time will have the 339 update.

Gotta say, I'm not happy about how ED is treating IFE and this module: first they release at the same time there's a sale (a thing I haven't seen them do in any other case), then they don't include the fixes in the OB patches... not cool.

Fingers crossed. First module for IFE. We don't know how ED's development kit supports config, branch and release management and such things. Hope they will work out a stable working process for the future. HB or other 3rd party developers had times when their changes didn't make it into updates.

Again, no signs of 339 bugfix...

This is becoming a sort of bad joke IMAO.

I‘m disappointed too, but the module is enjoyable as it is for me. Bug fixes would be much appreciated but I won’t stop flying it while waiting.

A bit weird, yes.

From autoupdate_log.txt, files were updated again, so don't know...

Will fly it anyway if there's time, still much enjoyable when taking care of that front wheel. 😉

It's really an amazing MB339, congratulations to all the dev. team and the long work they did to reach such a top quality jet!

Question: any one having the feeling the pitch and roll trim being little bit too much effective, even to the single hat switch trim click (TM F-16 HOTAS joystick in my case)?

Sometimes, it seems (my feeling) one click up / down (same for roll axis) is little bit too much to keep the jet nice and stable as I would expect the real 339 should be, at 200, 250, +300 kias. 

Thanks and enjoy the 339! 🙂

Trim speed will be changed and probably a slider where you the user can choose it.

Yes agree.  The Free MB-339 had a Trim Speed option in the SPECIAL menu. I assume the Dev team will add it back once other higher priorities are addressed. 

I think that the A-4E-C has one of the better SPECIAL menu options regarding Trim speed for Elevator, Aileron and rudder Speeds.

Many real aircraft are too sensitive to trim input and, especially in pitch, require several opposite input trimming until a fine tuned position is achieved that allows prolonged hands off flying or with only small manual stick input.

As for the MBB-339 I don’t know so my info is (for now) non aircraft specific.

Cheers 🍻

Looking forward to the fix regarding taxi explosions due to fragile nosewheel.

 

Me too, I really wanna see if the 339 can survive in an online high threat environment... up to now I always died on the taxiway!
