Kodiak Update

Featured Replies

Good to hear! I don't think I've experienced the nose-drive issue yet. Looking forward to this update. Arguably the best GA plane in the sim right now. JF Arrow series are still up but I am thinking this is still the "honeymoon" phase. 😆

Ohhh!  LOL!  I had another member take to task for referring to the Kodiak as GA.  I'm with you!

Well, semantics aside, the Kodiak is one of the best non-tubeliners in the sim right now. Haha. Is that better? 🤪 I know that it's used for commercial, transport etc but I guess everyone defaults to calling everything general aviation if doesn't fit in with the big jets or larger turbo props. At least in flight sim.

I can't help myself. Have to be careful on forums as some people on here are a human version of "Auto Correct." 😅

This changelog looks like some fair amount of fixes to an already-excellent airplane.

Sad but true of every "bloke" forum I've ever been on.

 

This Kodiak although brilliant in many respects is a right pig when it comes to killing speed.

Some of these fixes will no doubt help.

Discord. I might give it a try to find the post but somewhere Alex posted that they won't add functons anymore after the next update: they are happy with the current state and intend to leave things as they are and move on to other projects. I do suppose (and hope) that whenever MSFS screws things up SWS may update the plane anyway but that's it. They won't for instance apply the new prop model to this plane.

 

  

There isn't much to do indeed and I absolutely love the plane, it's the only GA I fly, but there are a few inop functions and it's a pity they will stay inop forever. But well, SWS never said they were aiming for A2A quality so... maybe I expected too much.

Have anyone tried the MilviZ Turbo-Porter for MSFS2020. PC-6 for MSFS2020 (milviz.com) If you love flying the Kodiak, you'll love this one also. It's also much better than the disappointing Twin Otter from Aerosoft.

I flew the MilviZ Porter from Peru all the way down to the bottom of Chile, the Kodiak down to Antarctica and back up the east coast of S.A. to Venezuela, and then the Twin Otter to every airfield from the Gulf of Venzuela into the Caribbean and now at St. Kitts.  I like all 3 very much and almost equally in different ways... but only after using the TSS Sound Mod with the Twotter.

Engine inlet override and emr power (having a complete lever inop is quite rare for an addon plane, I think). Besides that afaik we also won't get saved states (so you enter the plane in the state you left it in). All in all the Kodiak is great and I love it but it's not complete and it never will be and that's a shame.

Don't bet on it staying as is. We want to do more on the Kodiak as it will benefit all future aircraft.

 

As a rule of thumb, we stop updating 12 months after release as most problems are resolved by then and the product only needs to keep up with the sim updates -easier said than done nowadays.

Have both, both are good but prefer the Kodiak. They are different so no harm having both.  I was also hoping to see the other PC-6 (our third PC-6 in game) from the Ukrainian team of devs but for obvious reasons that one is on hold for the time being.

Good news, thanks for that! I apparently misinterpreted a few posts on Discord and happily stand corrected! 🙂

 Ryan (MissionaryBushPilot on YouTube) has his Kodiak training course on special at present for $25 .

For $25 the Ryan course is great value. It also includes a few documents with the videos like various checklists, map of PNG and a Take-off Chart.

My impression is all the proceeds from Ryan’s web stuff go directly to helping out remote PNG villages.
