Hi, I have a question about cabin/cockpit temperatures. In the manual it advises that the Env Control System takes account of open doors etc. However, I am not sure this feature is working. I load the aircraft, inside temp is 25, I open all the doors but even with an outside temp of 3c, after 10 min the inside temp remains at 25c - this can't be right. Has anyone else had this?

Yes I have seen 25C even in Alaska yesterday. 

Thanks for confirming, I will raise a support ticket with Sim Works Studios.

I have also noticed this but I have also tried opening the window after engine start and have seen the temps drop in the cabin pretty quickly. 

Thanks, good that it works after engine start - I will try that but hopefully they can fix the pre-engine start problem. I will report back when I hear from them.

I have to be honest:

After exclusively flying the Kodiak 100 in MSFS with the WT G 1000 NXi, I'm having a hard time using any of the other planes - for me, the Kodiak 100 offers just the right combination of challenge and modern glass avionics. You can take it to remote grass strips, but easily fly in and out of busy airports. Sounds are fantastic. Performance on my "old potato" (thanks, Mr. Fuzzy) is entirely serviceable, even with the STDBY gauge enabled. Visually, the plane looks fantastic, doors open and close.

Does every switch, button and knob work? No. Is the start-up sequence 100% realistic. No. Did Kylie Jenner send me a marriage proposal? No.

But the plane needs to be flown by the numbers, trim needs to be taken care of, correct takeoff speeds need to be computed, otherwise your (virtual) relatives will have to cash in your death insurance.

The developers seem willing to address any remaining issues.

So, all in all, a real winner, released just in time for Christmas and 2022!

Thanks, Simworksstudios and WT!

I'm having the same issue. I tried flying a different plane yesterday while I was flying with some friends and I just couldn't do it, had to go back to my Kodiak. I'm glad I got this plane right from SWS, it took a bit of time but I must say their customer service is second to none, I'm pretty sure Alex doesn't sleep. I even asked him something on Christmas day expecting an answer in a couple of days and he answered me within minutes, yes on Christmas day! I was thinking about not getting the float version when it comes out and now there is no question, I'm getting it, can't wait. As far as I'm concerned this is the best plane yet for MSFS, SWS raised the bar with this plane.

It seems when things are properly shutdown the last flight (conditioner fore and aft power to off first) then the next flight the temps are correct.

Has anyone noticed that the VS wheel on the autopilot rotates the wrong way, in my mind... or am I imagining it?

Yep, seems wrong.  For me, pushing (rotating) the mouse wheel "forward" should decrease the VS (move nose of a/c down, like pushing forward on the yoke). Pulling (rotating) the mouse wheel "backwards" should increase the VS (move the nose up, like pulling back on the yoke). That's the way it works in other a/c like the CJ4.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant... so its not just me... That is exactly the movement I was expecting as you have described.... "Roll FORWARD/DOWN" should drop the VSI, "Roll BACKWARDS/UP" should raise the VSI...

Got to be a bug... where do you report it?

I would think you could contact the developer through his website https://simworksstudios.com/kodiak-100-wheels-for-msfs.html

under the CONTACT US dropdown tab.

This is a visual animation issue that has been reported.

Functionally, the VS wheel works correctly.

And that is the way it works in the Kodiak as well.

It's the default Asobo AP they are using in the Kodiak, hence the same bug. I also reported it a while ago already.

I am absolutely loving this plane!

I find I need to keep a little right rudder trim in during the cruise to keep it from gradually banking to the left. 
Take-offs and landings are great after the patch, although I have had a few bouncers landing on on full flap. 

Does anyone get the annoying 'don't sink' warning quite regularly just after take off, even when not sinking?  The default C172 G1000 used to suffer from this also.

I sometimes have that too, yes. I depends on where I take off from. I do know the missionairy bush pilot often turns of TAWS before take off because otherwise Betty is yelling at him all the time.
