I love trainers, I've got L-39 and C-101 - both great modules - and Yak-52... not sure what to say about that one (virtually no love from ED right now). I'd consider buying MB-339, even though I like L-39 looks more but I like that you can unmount the wingtip tanks on this one. It's a strange plane to me, but so is any trainer to any random guy I guess.

I've seen it's predecessor (MB-326) in Catania roundabout and that one reminded me L-29 Delfin (Dolphin) a bit - MB-339 is a bit in the middle, as it definitely doesn't look as a more modern plane than L-39 Albatros - but it is. And of course, it's western style, more like C-101 than L-39.

But I just don't know right now. I expect certain level of control flexibility on both the bindings and clickable cockpit - yet MB-339 is somewhat subpar in both aspects. E.g. flap lever is not clickable, it has some bindings - but no bindings for each position (3 of them). Many things are only clickable with no bindings. I hope this gets better - but only if there is a commitment to do so. I tried to overcome some of these limitations with Quaggles control injector, but I failed - this was the first module that I couldn't enhance easily with Quaggles, which was a downer.

I have no idea, how IFE sees the module, whather it pays off or not (I wish it does)... it would be great to at least know what the future of trainers is. ED seems to ignore its last attempt (Yak-52) altogether, but I hope this doesn't happen to MB-339.

It has a lot of flexibility (in this category). I don't quite like how it flies, it swings like a helicopter when I roll it - but I get it if it's realistic (L-39 is way more snappy). I like the tutorials, although some should be extended, but I appreciate the voiceover. I believe it has a lot of effort put into it already and I guess only a bit is missing. At least those are my first impressions after a busy week.

Seeing fixes in many recent 2.9.x patches gives me hope that many of these things will get fixed. Not all of them have to, of course. I'm looking forward to the future and I'll review the module as soon as possible again.

MB339 will be completed with all the bindings, you can bet. MB339 is the most performant Trainer light CAS in ED atm, with a westernize cockpit is capable to imply a big amount of weapons, and soon also AA with AIM9 and Matra, as confirmed by IFE on the official Discord.

Since mb339 came out I dont touch c101 and L39 anymore, way more appealing with italian style.

Looking forward to the G91 hopefully next year.

Recently, I've noticed that the Attitude Director Indicator (ADI) isn't functioning properly. Could this be a bug, or am I possibly overlooking a step in the setup process? Despite following multiple tutorials, it seems like I'm doing everything correctly, but the ADI still isn't working as expected.

100% bug of last update. I have reverted to previous DCS version in the meantime. Hope it gets fixed in the next update, especially since it was obviously inadvertantly introduced.

Hi,

Love the module, but can we get more key-bindings and better key-bindings please?

For example master arm is only a toggle while many/most? HOTAS have this as a two- or three-position switch.

I hope you can add keybindings on the level as the F/A-18, F-14 etc.
