I saw a discussion on the Kodiak vs Piper Arrow but I’m interested in how the Kodiak compares to the Grand Caravan EX in the sim for sight seeing and bush flights. I want a realistic experience, but I’ve seen some comments that the Kodiak is a bear to control/fly. I want realism, but not if it’s goi…

Thanks all. I’ll check out YouTube. Any channel in particular you recommend?

It’s a whole other discussion point but until VR gets better this and a good control method are the very big down sides of the current state of VR.

For any aircraft that seems pitch trim sensitive, you can add a negative input response/sensitivity to them to get more fidelity around center for that given controller saved profile. Pretty sure it’s axis 7 on a TBV1. I don’t use rudder trim on any aircraft on takeoff, I just fly it off the runw…

Reading this thread i realized i must be the world’s greatest sim pilot lol I crashed my Kodiak 3 times on the first day i got it. Then i decided to read the manual and follow the correct procedure. Since then she has been the sweetest flyer. I’ve got about 30 hours on it now and loving every momen…

VR is a lot like Full Self Driving in a Tesla - equally amazing and awful at the same time. I just wish they’d fix the VR control instability. You’re on final, look down, and suddenly you have no mouse control and ALL your control devices are inert. Have to do some voodoo to get a mouse cursor back…

How do you guys reset your rudder trim back to neutral after takeoff? I tend to hold the button which results in a pretty abrupt yaw movement of the aircraft. It’s just so tedious to tap the button until it centers.

Surprising that it requires double the amount of torque, it doesn’t seem very accurate at all. Is this plane perhaps a bit overhyped?

You don’t need rudder trim on takeoff. Just use your feet. I think i used trim once.

One vote for the Caravan. The Lionheart Kodiak was one of my favorite planes in P3D and Thranda Kodiak in XP11, but I just don’t like this version. Tempted by the 208 Black Box mod as I have the PMS50 GTN but like the coupled VNAV in the G1000 NXi. Love to get a mod to tweak the original NXi vers…

I love the Kodiak. I’ll get on a Bush Trip kick and spend a few hours in the legacy aircraft, been hitting all the Caravan ones now that the NXi is native and everything works so well. Then I’ll jump back into the Kodiak for some island hopping and holy carp, it’s such a different world of immersi…

The problem is not in the engine but elsewhere. We have improved this for the next update.
