MB-339A/PAN by Frecce Tricolori Virtuali

HIGHLY SATISFIED

I've been flying this beautiful thing for an entire day now, and I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you guys so much for creating this fun and high-quality mod!

Here are some of the bugs that I've experienced (though you guys might have already been aware of most of these):

When starting from the ground, the parking brake level appears to be in the released position, though the brake is in fact applied, meaning I have to click twice to release the brake;

The NWS indicator illuminates when the NWS is disabled;

TrackIR doesn't work with the normal "HEADTRACKER" control category, only the "TrackIR" category, which creates a lot of inconveniences (i.e. not able to use head tracking in exterior views; not able to use head tracking at all after switching back from another aircraft);

When wingtip tanks are installed, the warning panel indicates that the tanks are empty;

I tried using the salvo jettison button for once and it obliterated the engine for some reason. I will try to replicate the situation to see what happened.

And as for the "wish list":

Brake axes;

Zoom axis;

Three-way switch control for the airbrake;

Three-way switch control for the flaps;

Smoother animation for rudder and landing gears;

The performance chart for calculating rotation speed and things;

Radio navigation;

and more (Sorry guys, I'm picky :smartass:)

In addition, does the MB-339A carry heaters IRL? It feels like only the C variant carries heaters. AIM-9P is certainly available in game, but there is no tone, no uncage control and no missile rail whatsoever.

Thank you for all.

Alredy know but there was always something more important to do, we will do, sorry.

thanks, its a mistake, next update will be solved

We all fly with Oculus or TrackIr, we will check

You must select "fuel transfert" (near throttle) on "tip", fuel system go from tip to main, you must have always tip, except pan, and fuel transfer always on tip

In game the SideWinder was a test we do, and we choose to not include pre-made payloads with it, since a special rail is needed under the pylons to carry it.

About the real AC, yes the Mb-339A was tested in evaluation with the AIM-9L and Matra Magic, it was implemented in 1986 by MB-339A I-GROW (testbed for the Platform later named MB-339C).

Italy choose the MB-339A only as light trainer Aircraft, not CAS or air defense role, but for the export version in this role it was able to carry ELT-555 ecm pod in conjuction with 2 SideWinder or Magic missiles.

Very well done fellas :thumbup:

Formation Lights

I missed on my aircraft the formation lights, yesterday on your server I saw it. on my server is this texture missing.

See picture in the Italien forum.

Thanks Sirius, but the start up is the only one already done and we are working on more video.

Thank you anyway.

You have selected the liverie of a pre MLU version, so it does not have formation light, gps antenna and other little stuff.

Thank you Aracno for the help.

am I the only one having trouble with color smoke and flaps?

also any chance we can get the full motion pilot head feature? :)

Actually colour smoke and full motion pilot are features for private use only.

We are working on a new pilot that will be available in next updates.

For Flaps:

If flaps are in Landing position you must cycle 2 times to get fully up.

Thanks for the clarification!

Just to let you know having a few problems my end more of some controls won't allow me to bind them to my joystick using a X-52, landing gear and flaps being two of the most prominent ones i can't bind

Yes, our intention is to release a template for skinner, it will be in the next update.

Pleeaaasseee and thanks a lot cause we're gonna use it for our aerobatic team :) Thanks a lot for the awesome work

This is a very good news, glad to know there will be another aerobatic team on the m339 :thumbup:

Out of interest, how do we receive updates? Automatically through DCS updates or must we download seperately?

This is rapidly turning into my fave low-intensity bird, I can't see me spending any time in the Hawk going forwards.

The fact you chaps have done this entirely yourselves on a voluntary basis is magnificent and puts a couple of official devs to shame. Please do stick with it, your efforts really are appreciated.

Did I hear that you would be attempting a "C" model? I can't wait if so!

Bravo Zulu!

regarding coloured smoke is that a fully private thing or will we get to see some coloured smoke of different colours, truly a fun jet to fly around in, it's like a gazelle, makes me want to drop to below 50 feet and push my luck like a lunatic

Since it's a mod, it's not possible use DCS updates. Maybe the updates will be released with a new full package (the best thing for me to avoid confusion with incremental patches), or small hotfix. Now we have just start collecting bugs, next step will be fix what can be fixed.;)

For the C version, yes, would be cool to have the full lineup of our Macchino, but don't expect it soon: the team is busy

Great quality mod! I really love everything, including the italian manual... now the translating struggle goes to the rest of the world!

The AI is following me but orders are disabled ;(

Any plans to add it?

Italian lulz only -

"why the f**k you put your landing gear up , dont you see you are on the ground?!"

Is that a known bug? It happens after closing the kneeboard. It was flickering

Sorry, double smokes (red-white, green-White) are reserved for the official aircraft in use by Frecce Tricolori Virtuali.

I'm glad you have fun with it:thumbup:

Ok thanks, i was hoping to have blue smoke but oh well .

looking forward to the finished aircraft
