December 30, 20214 yr Did anyone find a comprehensive tutorial for the Kodiak yet? Other than Ryans, the missionary bush pilot. His aircraft has some options that the in-sim one doesn't. Currently circumnavigating the world in a mix of Cessna and Piper aircraft. My Default Setup; MSFS, Honeycomb Alpha, Thrustmaster Hotas X, TrackIR, Samsung Galaxy Tab, JustFlight Piper Arrow. Simworks Quest Kodiak 100. Wishlist; Honeycomb Bravo, Honeycomb Charlie. 1:400 Airline Model Collector.

They are very good and I enjoy watching them. But given that it's mostly a vlog, I'm struggling to follow any comprehensive tutorial. He drops tidbits of information but he has a job to focus on. I would benefit from something more sterile and laid out. It seems everyone and their mums have made FBW A320 tutorials due to it's popularity. I hope we see some based on the Kodiak as time goes on.

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? I haven't checked it on the ground yet myself but the system clearly works here: I opened the little window on the left during flight and the temps dropped like a bomb on the left side first! In order to get temps back to where I wanted them I actually had to turn the blower on which gave a nice blowing sound. That sound even changes when you set the fan slower or faster! Great detail! Didn't even notice those on/off button at first and wondered why it stayed so cold LOL EDIT Talking about detail: the fan for the pax can only be heard when you move to the the back of the plane! Nice! EDIT Opened the window once more during approach and now the temps only dropped 1 degree or so. This option really works! Great stuff! EDIT And during landing the temp even raised to the outside temp with the device off! 🙂 Edited December 30, 20214 yr by tup61

Did one flight in Alaska yesterday and saw nothing. Temps were around -15 C. I will start a flight with the C172 later tonight in which I am sure there will be icing and then switch to the Kodiak to test this. EDIT Tried about 5 times to create a situation in which ice would occur but LOL that's harder to get done than I though it was. I've given up for now, 😉 Edited December 30, 20214 yr by tup61

January 2, 20224 yr Have to admit, late to the party on this one, but worty every cent. And Fun Factor x 2 using Peixsoft "Glasscockpit to Sim" on a 10" Android tablet with the Kodiak. Turned glass refresh rate down to Low for my ageing PC and very surprised how smooth and clear the tablet G1000 is. Impressive.
January 2, 20224 yr I like this bird , have problems to control the NXI with the mouse decided to do a NXI box . I had 2 spare Elma encoders with center push and 2 single encoders with push , used a Bondar BBI-32 used all 32 keys, on the top knobs i have range for MFD Baro CDI and cheat B on left rudder trim, rest is NXI PFD MFD works really great, i know that is complete NXI devices with monitor out here but they cost a lot and i run 55inch 4k and not need a device with extra monitor, i start to construct this a week ago its not perfect yet. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qrdepjudgusjdu5/20220101_220313.jpg?dl=0 http://
