MB-339A
Evaluation
The MB-339 also took part in the Falklands-Malvinas war with the Armada de la República Argentina (Argentina Navy) and was also used by the Eritrean Air Force in various roles, against rebels, smugglers, and even against the Ethiopian Air Force.
Today, the MB-339 is also used by “Al Fursan” (“The Knights”) UAE’s national aerobatic team and by the “Frecce Tricolori” Italian national aerobatic team. The MB-339 is the only jet aircraft capable of performing the famous Lomcovák manoeuvre.
The MB-339 for DCS aims to be the most realistic simulation of this aircraft ever made for PC, not only in terms of system functionality and performance but especially flight model. Currently, the aircraft is in it’s internal test phase and is continuously being improved as new features are being added.

Development Report
Magnitude 3 is currently working on detailed cockpit illumination and warnings which should reflect which specific lights are turned on, their intensity and the phosphorus radium glow variability of each instrument.
The airframe’s damage model is in the early stage of development whereas the flight model and systems are mostly complete, and being fine-tuned to a high degree of realism.
The Essex Class Carrier is nearing completion and features working lifts, a detailed and functioning hangar and damage model. The final stage of development for implementation of the hydraulic catapults utilising the bridal cables is being worked on.
