January 8, 20224 yr PC12 has been on my wishlist. Such a capable airplane in many ways. Pretty cool. Lots to look forward to in the sim.
January 8, 20224 yr I didn't get the Kodiak after seeing the reviews. It seems like it is one level better than Carenado airplanes, but still far from an A2A level plane. Maybe I am missing something since I don't have it but A2A simulates so many more things across the board than the Kodak reviews showed. The Kodiak is a great plane but it is prized too high for what it is. Waiting for it to go on sale. Looking forward to the PC12 coming out and going on sale too, LOL!

I owned all the A2A planes in P3D. The Kodiak is much more fun to fly than any of the A2A aircraft.
January 8, 20224 yr It may not have all the maintenance aspects that A2A has but it looks and flies really well. Certainly closer to A2A than Carenado IMHO. I initially balked at the price too but now I’m glad I didn’t (much cheaper on their website than resellers BTW) Edited January 8, 20224 yr by regis9 Dave Current System (Running at 4k): ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F, Ryzen 7800X3D, RTX 5090, 55" Samsung Q80T, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, EVGA CLC 280mm AIO Cooler, Brunner CLS-E NG Yoke, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS & Stick, Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant & Add-on, VirtualFly Ruddo+, TQ6+ and Yoko+, GoFlight MCP-PRO and EFIS, Skalarki FCU and MCDU

It has working breakers and nearly all switches are functional. Most Carenado planes are about the same price and highly less detailed. It's the best addon for the sim date. It's probably better than many P3D addons as well. I loved A2A but they are dogging it getting a plane into the sim. I hope one comes soon. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
January 8, 20224 yr The Kodiak would be brilliant if the PT6 and engine systems were modeled more accurately. Fingers crossed SWS has more for us in that area in the future. I'll add the PC-12 to my long list of stuff to buy in the future. Tired of Streetlights everywhere? Get MSFS DarkStreets for free!

January 9, 20224 yr Me too, I did not buy the Kodiak. After viewing the review, it seems to me the plane is to twitchy. Such a plane should be incredibly stable with its high wing and inertia, and very easy to hand fly. I am not yet convinced 😅 Pierre

I pretty much fly the Kodiak and FBWA320.

If you did and you still think it is twitchy, maybe you are not used to something that flies like an real aircraft. I hand fly mine all the time with no difficulty at all. Oh wait, you don't even own it..... LOL
