Based on above response I’ve created Simbrief Floatiak profiles adding 8% fuel factor for the cargo pod version, and 7% fuel factor for the no-pod version. I’ve also reduced cruise levels by 2000 feet just because it doesn’t make sense to me flying a float plane so high and we’re going to be taking off / landing at sea level most of the time.
Here’s my profiles if anyone wants to do some IFR:
- Kodiak Float (No Cargo Pod): https://www.simbrief.com/system/dispatch.php?sharefleet=417207_1666003122099
- Kodiak Float (With Cargo Pod): https://www.simbrief.com/system/dispatch.php?sharefleet=417207_1666004078773
- Kodiak Wheels (No Cargo Pod): https://www.simbrief.com/system/dispatch.php?sharefleet=417207_1666004019183
- Kodiak Wheels (With Cargo Pod): https://www.simbrief.com/system/dispatch.php?sharefleet=417207_1665967659103
Difference between float and wheels is the weight (using figures from the SWS manual), the fuel factor and cruise offset.
The main/only difference with the pod is an increased OEW of 175lb. I haven’t set a maximum cargo weight because you can take the seats out and put as much as you want up until the MTOW so just have a mix of pax and cargo to that limit.
Civil Registration I just use an easy identifier to sort my list, it’s not a real aircraft registration format and the sim doesn’t use it but change it to a real rego if you prefer.
Haven’t tested these yet as I’ve been VFR, so let me know if I’ve made any mistakes.
