IIRC the MB-339 doesn't have an auto-pilot and the buttons are used to set the Flight Director's reference heading/altitude i.e. the flight director gives the pilot visual assistance to fly the correct heading/altitude.

The MB-339's Flight Director isn't working in the current release but will be added later.

Yes, the HSI shows deviation from the localiser (i.e. runway centerline) and the raw glide slope info can be read from the LH side of the ADI.

Currently you have to set the runway's TRUE (not magnetic) heading on the HSI to get the correct localiser guidance.

Once the FDS (Flight Director System) is implemented, the FDS will repeat this info in a clearer way using the ADI's vertical and horizontal steering bars.

Hi, that pushbutton is only for flight director which is currently not available (it will be added later after this first round of bug fixes).

For your information, the MB-339 does not have any autopilot.
