We are proud to announce developement of the Kodiak 100 for Microsoft Flight Simulator. A powerful airplane built for adventure, a unique combination of robust construction and slow flight performance, that enable you to operate from unprepared landing strips and water for incredible missions. Licensed by Daher, the SWS Kodiak will offer:
–Accurate 3D model created from factory CAD data
–Regular and tundra tyre variants
–Amphibian variant, featuring the Aerocet 6650 floats
–Cargo pod option
–Multiple interior configurations
–18 factory liveries + 5 custom schemes
–Immersive sound environment using Wwise
We will be regularly posting updates from the aircraft’s developement, so keep an eye on our page for more news!
YES!!! I can’t wait. It will be amazing to have an alternative to the C208. And it has a few options, which is nice to see. It sounds quite detailed so I imagine it’s going to take a while to develop. Great news though.
Yep this is going to be a must for me. Bit more STOL performance than the default 208, amphib version, cargo too, lot of liveries, tundra tyres . . . can’t wait and am wondering the time frames we are looking at. Will be waiting eagerly indeed.
It looks like the Series II has the G1000 NXi. It makes sense that they would go with the default G1000 fitted model instead, due to current avionics limitations.
Development update (from SimWorks Studios’ Facebook page)
Kodiak time! We have been hard at work on the aircraft, constantly tweaking and improving it. Here is an update on the current state of developement!
—EXTERIOR—
The exterior is nearing completion and we are putting the last few rivets on the airframe. The aircraft will ship with 25 factory schemes in three different layouts and will use MSFS’ tail number system. The standard and tundra tyre variants are fully animated and ready in the simulator including some custom animations that we will showcase later. The amphibian is currently in the paint shop and is expected next month.
—COCKPIT—
The cockpit is currently being modelled, with focus being on the cabin shell and cockpit. Once there, the aircraft interior will branch out to passenger, cargo and other variants.
—SYSTEMS—
This week we completed the integration of the Engine Display which will work with the default and Working Title G1000. Being a little more advanced, the WT version will feature the ENGINE, SYSTEM and FUEL screens. The displays are being built so that they will switch seamlessly whether you have the WT mod or not.
The electrical system is being connected to the cockpit, using the lessons learned on the new electrical system from other aircraft. While progress is made fast, this is at completely different level of complexity so we are treading carefully.
Finally, we are eagerly waiting for Sim Update 4 which brings a number of important fixes to turboprop engines.
how is the state of PNG in MSFS?
