July 23, 201114 yr The Flightsim Store is having a sale on Lionheart products and, since I don't own any, I would like to know if any of them is worth buying.Any advice is appreciated.(I posted the sale on the Bargain Hunters forum a few minutes ago, 50% Off) Phenom II X6 @4.13 Ghz -- Asus Crosshair IV Formula -- 8GB GSkill DDR3 1600 -- HD 7970 3GB
July 23, 201114 yr Moderator If you like to fly places like the ORBX PNW area's buy the Quest Kodiak. I've purchased a few of their other a/c, but this is the only one I kept installed and frankly the one that I use most in that category.The Kodiak really is a fansatic a/c for flying in the mountains, landing on short grass runways or on lakes with the float package. Plus you can get from point A to point B at a relatively fast clip which is what makes it a great a/c for me since I dont like doing 50 to 100nm flights at 120kts or less.Here's a pretty interesting youtube video showing a langing on a grass strip in the mountains at Allison Ranch, Idaho to give you can idea of it's versatility.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ_mciV6AvE&feature=fvwrel Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
July 23, 201114 yr Agreed, the Kodiak is great, but I also really like the new Aerospool Dynamic, and the Bellanca Viking is one of my all-time favorites. The Tailwind is a lot of fun, and I also have the Skylark, but need to put more seat time in it....very neat aircraft as well.Pretty much cannot go wrong with Bill and Co.'s stuff, it just depends what kind of flying you like to do.
July 23, 201114 yr holy mother of STOL! after seeing that video i might have to spend the cash for the kodiak and recreate that in fsx :D thanks for the headsup!
July 23, 201114 yr And if you do get the Kodiak, send me a PM with your email address, and I'll send you amodified G1000 that fixes some problems and is mouse wheel friendly. Bert
July 23, 201114 yr And if you do get the Kodiak, send me a PM with your email address, and I'll send you amodified G1000 that fixes some problems and is mouse wheel friendly.is this mod available in the filelibrary or did you just made if for personal use? i just bought the kodiak and am about to go on my first flight :)
July 23, 201114 yr is this mod available in the filelibrary or did you just made if for personal use? i just bought the kodiak and am about to go on my first flight :)I'm sure Bert will hook you up.As an alternative, I use a third party G1000 by FS2X you might consider now, or down the road. There is a version (within the package) specifically designed for Kodiak users, which I use. Great combination.http://www.fs2x.com/G1000%20Web%20Page.htm
July 23, 201114 yr glad i bought the kodiak, just took her for some really short trips around idaho's backcountry and am loving it!kodiak greetings from 3U2 Johnson creek!
July 23, 201114 yr Here's the overview by the manufacturer which is pretty impressive and defines why they made it:
July 24, 201114 yr I purchased the Aerosol Dynamic this morning. I fly a Jabiru J160 real world and was surprised that the glass cockpit avionics were the same. Flew some circuits and a short nav from YCOR - YMAY and it behaved flawlessly. The quality of the virtual cockpit and external views are all great. At the price, it was a valuable addition to my hanger.
July 24, 201114 yr Get the Kodiak...amazing piece of engineering. My Youtube Channel (P3D/FSX/X-Plane Videos and much more!)

However people seem to really like the Kodiak..Even at the reduced prices I can't really justify buying both, my FS hangar is already getting pretty crowded. I like to really get to know each airplane rather than only spending a few hours with each before moving on to something else. -
