It turns out quality does come cheap afterall. Enter the brand new Floatiak by SWS. She's a marvel! 😍

I'm still amazed how beautiful this sim is! Or not the sim itself but you get my point 🙂 Being able to enjoy it on a fast PC in the Aero, I'm so grateful for what we have these days 👍
Will be super interesting to see what the 4090 can do for us vs the 3090! It's funny how my 8086K held me back and now with a 129000KS, it's my 3090 being the bottleneck. The endless hardware race 😂
Thank you for the review this just dropped on marketplace today for Xbox, I was looking for a good bush trip plane to go anywhere and do anything and looks like this is just it!
Great video ...thanks steve. What great aircraft the Kodiak/ Flotiak is 😀 I'm a complete noob in regards to flight sims and msfs2020 is my first experience of one ( purchased when it was released) i must say i totally agree with your comment about what a fantastic sim it is ..awesome! From what ive seen of where "msfs" came from... its first rendition to now its just wow! 👍😮
Thankyou Centurion much appreciated! You've joined the flight sim hobby at the best time that's for sure! Take your time, this hobby will reward you (and probably frustrate you) in equal measure at times, but when everything works, oh it's just magnificent!
#question I got MSFS as a gift(key) in the Microsoftstore, if i want to upgrade this sim i have to buy upgrades in the Microsoftstore too. Thats clear. But what happend when you buy MSFS in the Steamstore? Do have to buy upgrades in the Microsoftstore too? I dont see DLC's in the Steamstore to upgrade MSFS🤔
Yes, you also buy planes from the in-sim marketplace, with credits that you have to add to your Steam account (so you're indirectly paying through Steam)
The sim is looking totally amazing, how many times i shout out wow!! It’s just a shame I don’t have passengers to share the experience! Ps. Where is that mate??
I'll have to check this out, who's the dev? The Floatiak is a must buy especially for the crazy low price, you're getting A LOT of aircraft for the money
Too bad that many lakes in Canada are just fields of grass or small forests, because the AI did't recognize them properly and no one bothered to fix them manually for the World Update. Not to mention all those rivers that are towering aqueducts in the sim, as seen in this video at 6:32.
Hello, i was wondering why this amphibian version is cheaper than the standard one? is the simulation at the same level as for standard Kodiak? or are there options not available with the amphibian version?
The Amphibian version does not have the skydive interior. Otherwise it seems to be equal in features. No cargod pod mention also for the amphibian. 36 liveries available, i don't know how many for the standard version.
@@didierj3836, you may not need an answer at this point. But with the other Kodiak package, you get 4 models. Regular and Cargo Pod versions, and regular or tundra gear for both. They all required different flight models and it just took longer to make them all. The Floatiak is just one model. A great one. But it took fewer man hours to build, and also, they didn’t want to overcharge for folks who already had the other planes, because all five models together is quite a wonderful, all around package that can fly virtually anywhere in the world.
I have my Kodiak 100 from Just Flight so I hope they will offer me the 10€ floats also the 12th when it's released. The standard Kodiak 100 will also get updated with improvements?
Anyone else having troubles with this plane taking off from land? If I start up from cold, I can't get it to move. And when I land at an airport, and go to take off again, it won't move. Gear down, throttles/prop set properly. Just spools up and doesn't move.
Hello Sorry for my question but i have a Strange trouble since the last update I can’t use the power of the engine if i am on the ground It’s work only if i start the fly in the air and immediatly after the Landing i can’t use the power of the engine command It didn’t work too if i try to start the engine at the parking Thanks for the help and thanks for all your vidéos
Thank you Steve! Looks awesome! Just btw: do you think that the Sim ist too bright at clear weather in daytime. Is there a setting someehere for this? Running a 3080TI and Pimax8kx. Thanks in advance :)
@@VRFlightSimGuy Not available yet for me. When I go to the Just Flight site, where I purchased the original, only the wheeled version is available. 🤷🏽♂️ I'm sure it'll be available soon.
Microsoft needs to step it up and make water landings more realistic instead of all the skipping on water or when you put your gear down in the water the plane bounces up.

@ how do your think then i7-12700K would do compared with yours?
@@ShotInTheDark No idea I'm afraid with no experience with that CPU myself

At last its out...definate purchase for me. Thanks for the review 👍 Love this aircraft!
My reverb g2 is going on when i get my hands on this plane
😁
It sounds (and looks) sooo good in the G2
could always try landing on Bella Coola river eh :)
Just need some jetties to dock at!!.
Excellent plane. Beautiful lighting👍 Take care buddy and big thanks.
Thanks mate! :)
Great video ...thanks steve.

How do previous Kodiak users get the discount you mentioned?
Yes...how???

You can also on any version of MSFS buy or download products from third party websites and install then to your community folder
@@JorisKoolen THX mate👍
The sim is looking totally amazing, how many times i shout out wow!! It’s just a shame I don’t have passengers to share the experience!
Ps. Where is that mate??
Thanks :) Location is CYBD (Bella Coola)
Steve, what was a location? Paywere Scenery?
Ditto…. Although i have a feeling it’s Tofino on Vancouver island.
Bella Coola, CYBD
Even though it looks great... I'm having a hard time getting excited knowing the DHC-2 beaver is coming out soon
I'll have to check this out, who's the dev? The Floatiak is a must buy especially for the crazy low price, you're getting A LOT of aircraft for the money
@@VRFlightSimGuy I believe he’s referring to the Blackbird (Milviz) Beaver that’s being released with the November anniversary edition.
@@SamuraiSax ohhhh thanks Mark.
Very nice, thank you! What airport are you taking off from here? Looks nice (besides the terrain issues)
CYBD (Bella Coola)

Have any idea to when the King Air Steam Gauges will be released?
No sorry
Because of the lack of water physics in MSFS atm, I am holding off from purchasing sea planes.
Thanks for sharing. Great review.
Same here
Many thanks! :)
Specs?
Hello, i was wondering why this amphibian version is cheaper than the standard one? is the simulation at the same level as for standard Kodiak? or are there options not available with the amphibian version?
Good question. I'm not sure why it's so cheap, since they are both equal in their fidelity
@@VRFlightSimGuy Thanks for the confirmation, strange effectively, i'm going with the amphibian then.

36 liveries available, i don't know how many for the standard version.

That looks really nice. Couldn't quite tell if there's any rolling / rocking when sat on the water. Does it?
Yes it does sway in the water :)
@@VRFlightSimGuy very cool.
Beautiful
Hello
Sorry for my question but i have a Strange trouble since the last update
I can’t use the power of the engine if i am on the ground
It’s work only if i start the fly in the air and immediatly after the Landing i can’t use the power of the engine command
It didn’t work too if i try to start the engine at the parking
Thanks for the help and thanks for all your vidéos
Sorry I'm not sure how to help you with this one. Perhaps check all of your bindings to ensure nothing is conflicting. Cheers!
@@VRFlightSimGuy
It’s very strange even if nobody have the same trouble
Thank you Steve! Looks awesome! Just btw: do you think that the Sim ist too bright at clear weather in daytime. Is there a setting someehere for this? Running a 3080TI and Pimax8kx. Thanks in advance :)
Cheers Andy, I'd recommend using the Open XR Toolkit to turn down the brightness settings (amongst many others)!
@@VRFlightSimGuy thank you so much Steve! Is it possible to use it with the PIMAXXR Toolkit?
@@andyydna5330 Yes, just make sure you have PimaxXR running, it's a small exe file that switches runtimes.
Beautiful scenery. Where did you fly from?
Bella Coola (CYBD)
@@WispNL Many thanks :)
Nice! I just don't like the fact that the float varient is not as a free update with the kodiak 100 and you have to buy the other varient separately.
Alex has put a TON of work into this aircraft, he is already giving it away at that price.
Future reference AHRS is pronounced w. It's common and acceptable to say it like that in real world aviation. :)
Thanks although w? I'm not sure I understand?
@@VRFlightSimGuy oh geez sorry it autocorrected. "A-hars". My bad 🤦♂️
There must be a serious problem. In BETA for far longer than most MSFS releases, and now it has missed it's Oct. 12 release date.🤷🏽♂️
It's already out 🤔
@@VRFlightSimGuy Not available yet for me. When I go to the Just Flight site, where I purchased the original, only the wheeled version is available. 🤷🏽♂️ I'm sure it'll be available soon.
Is going to be available on xbox too?
I've no idea sorry!
Beautiful area but I believe you’re actually landing on an inlet off the ocean and not a lake.
Thanks for watching!
Microsoft needs to step it up and make water landings more realistic instead of all the skipping on water or when you put your gear down in the water the plane bounces up.
