Steam or glass cockpit is the summary term used for the overall cockpit so the Kodiak has always had a glass cockpit since it’s launch. It’s what is being used as the main flight instrument technology that really gives it this name one way or another. I have seen the word all used in front of each to highlight the fact that the whole panel is of the one type of technology.

Yeah nice changelog. This is a GOOD plane. There’s a reason it’s still standing its ground in the “Top 5 aircraft” post.

Version history has been updated with the latest (1.2.0) version but downloads still show a 20220220 file ID, so I assume it’s not the latest yet. However it’s pretty close.

Amazing! I just got my Bravo Throttle Quadrant and set it all up yesterday to properly feather the props and apply reverse thrust and all that stuff. It was such an amazing experience to just simulate an engine failure right after departure and then have the prop windmill and feathered with a “realistic” control setup. Can’t wait to have engine failures and fatigue persistence and all that stuff so these procedures might be necessary to carry out in an actual flight.

And it’s out! 
Edit: AAAAND I’ve also received notification email about the update! For the first time since December and 6 minutes after I’ve downloaded it, possibly I was lucky checking on the site after finishing my ATPL theory for today.
Wonderful livery, thanks for the tip! Downloaded it already to test it with the new version!
I’ll have to wait for JustFlight to update their files. Probably won’t be until Monday now 
When can we expect Marketplace update of the Kodiak? Or maybe it’s out already but just hasn’t hit Xbox yet?
Any idea when Orbx will post the Kodiak update?
I’ve downloaded the update from Simmarket today, but haven’t got the chance to test it yet.
Has anyone been able to test the changes related to the refinement of PT-6 engine management?
it’s there now

Probably due to the new “cold start” mechanism with this update; adds more realism. See if you can find the devs twitch stream from yesterday and that may be your issue. I’m on mobile or I’d link it myself. Actually I think if you scroll up on this thread a bit you’ll find it.
Any idea when the water floats variant of the Kodiak is coming?
Yes, I would like to know this too.
Hi I have tried the Kodiak 100 again, and it looks good. But I don´t know how to get rid of this stupid co-pilot figure inside the cockpit (typing a weight of 00 unfortunately does not change anything.) Does anyone know how to remove these stupid figures inside the cockpit and cabin?
Edit the flight_model cfg in each aircraft folder. Change station_load.2 from 170 to 0 and save.
The co-pilot will never appear again.
Excellent, thanks a lot!
I hate when my aircraft is filling up with these stupid-looking low-polygon copilots and passengers who don´t talk with me anyway about awesome movies, games, and high-tech-releases
They just disturb the perfection of the cockpit.
Asobo should add ATC-like discussions with passengers and/or co-pilots about movies, short crime stories, fantasy and sci-fi and other interesting topics during flight. In this case I might keep them inside the cockpit and cabin… Otherwise they are jettisoned overboard.

Strange. I too always fly alone and in the Kodiak when I change the weight to 0 it gets rid of the copilot (I used the menu at the top of the screen while sitting on the runway before takeoff).
