Daytona125

GIVE ME MY CUB!!!!!

You can't go wrong with this plane, it is one of the best so far.....

And. I love the way the turbulence is modeled on the Caravan, the elevator actually moves and flutters while you taxi. Just one more little detail that makes it more emersive.

At this time I'd get the Caravan. The Kodiak is a more modern, sexier plane but the Black Square Caravan nailed it. Although you can check the oil and the plane does get dirty, the plane doesn't save these things, as far as I know, so you basically start with a new plane every time you get in it. The Black Square comes with an awesome efb tablet thingy where you can maintain the plane and see your actual wear and tear as well as load the plane and repair it, the Kodiak uses the stock msfs tablet. I want to give SWS a chance so I just took the wheeled version for a flight, it is much better than the amphibian, I'm glad I got it at the discount price(I had the 2020 version). Another feature the Caravan has is the ability to plug in headphones with the headphone jack( I like to listen to music while I fly. I still prefer the Caravan but I am glad I have the prettier, more modern Kodiak, it is done very well and the detail is as good or better than the Caravan(if you're a rivet counter).....

Well. Same old problems on this 2024 version as the 2020 version amphibian plane. Casters aren't animated so when you turn the aircraft on the ground the front wheels stay straight as you turn, the water rudders are animated backwards so when the rudders are indicating up in the cockpit they are down in the exterior view, they actually work as per the cockpit indication though. I'm REALLY surprised this made it past the SWS developers but.... Ground handling still sucks with the amphibian, haven't even tried the wheel version yet, I just loaded my Black Square Caravan and continued. At least there are a WHOLE bunch of different configurations if thats your thing. Really disappointed in the Kodiak so far, I was hoping.....

Aeroplane Heaven got me once. Never again.....

What I’d really like to see is a 737-200!!!

I have to agree. PMDG isn't the only developer anymore offering planes at this level. And, I think $49.00 is too much, for me anyway. Over the years I'm into PMDG for hundreds and hundreds of dollars, time to ween myself off of them....

BUY the starship! It is their BEST most unique aircraft in their hanger. I own all of Just Flight planes and it is my go to, I love flying that thing.

In short, no. There is only an option to have the flight engineer do his, her stuff, there is no co-pilot option, you have to do that part by yourself.

I'll try to help, its been 2 weeks since I've flown it. Yes there is an option to let the flight engineer to do all the flight engineer check lists, start the apu, he basically does all the work that's on that back panel. You as the pilot still have to start the engines, work the lighting, work the anti ice stuff and navigate. It really is very well thought out. I usually like doing all the work myself too but I use this option on this plane because its just too complicated for one person to handle. The way you control the first officer is through a cell phone like device, you can let him do everything by enabling each stage of the checklist (pre flight, before taxi, take off, after take off, etc), or you can do the the stages you want to by yourself. I was really pleasantly surprised with this plane as it had a bit of a rough start in MSFS 2020 when it first came out (according to many of the original reviews). I for one am glad I got it.

Will this one work in VR?

Anyone else having these issues? Switches stop working after a while, become un-clickable, Opening the large cargo door causes the plane to crash while sitting on the tarmac, zoom in VR is WAY too zoomy sometimes putting the view right outside the plane.

This is almost as much money as a PMDG product. I'm really on the fence with this one, I love the 727. After reading the somewhat mediocre reviews of FSS 727 for 2020 is this plane any better this time around? $100 bucks Canadian is a lot for any plane, I just want to make sure its worth it, I've been let down before.

Its never worked for me, I fly in VR.
