I see that the new 1.0.24 version is now in the Marketplace. I checked on my Just Flight account and it is still the old version.

I bought mine direct from SWS and no update there.

If I purchase it from the Marketplace, does it automaticly download it into my MS2020 (hands off) ?

Nope, you'll have to install it yourself in the content manager.

Isn't there a purchase and download option on there ?

There has to be a way to get this update, that has been dragging on for weeks. 

Is anybody seriously not flying this because they are waiting for an update? I took it out this morning and as always, marvelled at just how good it is. I'm happy to wait another week or two for a slight improvement if that is how long its going to take. 

I agree. I fly the Kodiak regularly, implemented the PID fix frrom the msfs forums, and with the exception of the nose dropping when you disconnect the AP, I'm not seeing any major issues. 

Not quite sure why there is a delay with this patch? Seems odd.

I don't mind improvement but announcing patch and delay it indefinitely doesn't look good

MFS is much more "dynamic" than it's predecessors in terms of development and stability of the platform to cope with some development requirements.

Posts at the official forum suggest it such as the two bellow recently updated at fligthsimulator.com, each referring to limitations / innacuracies reported by devs who look for some feedback from ASOBO in order to find out the best way to try to overcome it:

Is setting the stall speed directly still possible? - MSFS DevSupport (flightsimulator.com)

Drag calculation borked (new topic) - MSFS DevSupport (flightsimulator.com)

and many more....

I imagine how complex it'll turn once the new CFD approach debuts. It's supposed to affect only the default C172 with SU9 but probably the devs will seek to bring into their creations, and again a new "cycle" of updates / bug reports / ... will start.

I don't really know if it's one of these limitations that is preventing the Kodiak update to be released.

I learned to forget about seeing MFS as a flight-dynamics stable / sound flight simulator and now I rather use it as a tremendous visuals simulator which may well be used to prepare for some RW flying tasks.

They stated many times that the Kodiak update is caused by problems with the SWS server. It has already been released on the market Place. 

Oh, ok, then a site-specific glitch, not even related to MFS itself. Thx !

Yes sir. 

For any company is such delay and no communication not a good step towards their good reputation. I am former FSX user, than P3D and I was very suprised with flight model of the plane . But in a bad way (despite the great reviews). So I am waiting for patch to improve some things.

Basically I spent money on product that needed FDE patch, that is no longer available and official patch seems to be rather promise than reality. I was surprised that payware product with tons of great reviews need FDE patch. But maybe this is just MSFS course and I was expecting something else that I should expect.

OK boys and girls, from SWS discord they’re announcing the update is coming Monday afternoon. 🤞

“@everyone to ensure minimal problems and good server support during delivery, the Kodiak's update will be released Monday afternoon.

If any of you are having difficulty with the website, please let us know by starting a ticket in <#922550843864150057> telling us what the problem is and your country so we can check it.

Thank you for your patience and see you on Monday!”
