For anyone that does not have it yet. SWS are having a flash sale on the wheeled Kodiak this weekend (16/17th July).  Owning the wheeled version will also give a discount on the float version when that comes out.

For 20 bucks that's a steal.  I think everyone has it already though LOL!

Thanks. Just purchased. So not everyone had it...

Ahhh, was looking for something to lessen the blow of picking up Just Flight’s Hawk just before it went on sale. Maybe this is it.

Are there significant differences to / advantages over the default Porter or Caravan (quality of FM aside)?

The visual model, the detailed cockpit functionality, and the sounds are all equally as exquisite as the FM.

Ahh, got me to spend $20 on this thing, no steak dinners tonight.

Also just downloaded EGSU, and found out it was payware quality for free.

Great airport, but... I find that part of the world boring to fly around, but if I lived there maybe...

I mean, if you don't already have it... its a no brainer!

It's really good for what it is, but I just don't like to fly planes this slow that often or planes that have non-retractable landing gear.
Should have saved the $20 and put it towards the PMDG 737, though I don't totally regret the purchase as it is very high quality, but you can only do so much at these speeds...

Yep, just got it. Thanks for the heads-up. Also just got the PA-28 in the JustFlight sale. Now just trying to decide if I finally think the JF F-14 is worthwhile at the sale price and with my accumulated JF points. Not my favourite of its type, but I don't like that gap in my inventory. Ah, OCD, is there nothing it can't do? (in Homer SImpson voice)

Yeah i'm looking for something like a Lancair Legacy, something small and fast and still get in and out of small airfields. I have heard a lot of good things about the Kodiak and at 20$ I believe its a steal but just not for me.

I didn't have it yet (glass cockpit), but that price is an offer I could not refuse 🙂

No, it's still boring.

I don't have it yet nor will I'd rather fly the Caravan.

Caravan is junk compared to the Kodiak. 

I found that I have a Kodiak plane for FS9 and FSX and I remember that was an issue with it. I think it was moving even at idle power. And that was because of limitation within the flightsim. So I ask is this issue gone in this Kodiak 100 for MSFS ? How does this Kodiak 100 compare to the Kodiak for FS9,FSX ?
