@@SimHangerFS I bought the Kodiak. This was in large part thanks to your video. Trying to figure out how to setup my Warthog throttle to operate in the full travel so I can easily get to reverse thrust. 1 lap around KTIW and I knew this was a winner! Thanks.
Yeah, as you have found you really don’t need that much right rudder trim on take off, I’ve found setting the indicator to one or two clicks after the right line is good for my flights so far.
Excellent starter tutorial for us newbies to the Kodiak. Hopefully we can all take it out for a Sim Hanger group flight. Thanks for linking a throttle config video too! 👍🏼
I love the Kodiak such a good add on for MSFS. Attention to detail like being able to blow the engine on start up and apparently over exerting the engine for an extended period is modelled. Stalling this aircraft on final like I have done then trying to correct it quickly with thrust doesn't usually have a good ending so you need to be careful with airspeed. My only criticism is a tablet would have been handy like other add ons eg. like turning passengers on and off amongst other things.
Great rugged plane to fly in. You can really beat it up and it can handle the tough bush flights, but smooth enough to fly on paved runways too. Looks great too.
Woohoo, I knew you would love it too. Right up our GA alley. With the recent patch, the "left nose-dive" is reasonably well controlled, but you still need to fly it well. Quatam is back on my frequent flyer list. Soon, when the Kodiak Float version comes out (separate, smaller purchase) BC and all its seaplane bases will be near heaven.
Thanks Mark! I have had the Kodiak for a little while but hadn't yet been able to take it out, with guidance, to fully appreciate it. I followed along on your flight in VR and also successfully delivered my passengers and cargo to the bush strip. 🙂
with the latest update from Jan 05 2023 try this flight again and WOOOOOW The Kodiak I must say it will make it harder to fly the others in my hanger if you know what I mean
Mark, you might want to give VNAV a try. It works amazingly well with the ad-hoc visual approaches. APR mode kicks in automatically as well some times. I’m not more certain because I’m only now getting good enough in simming that I almost fully understand how it’s all supposed to work - foiled all too often by sim models that don’t actually always work the way their supposed to!
Great review.I love the Kodiak! It does so many things really well. The turboprop can fly faster and higher. It has great cargo capacity. It can land almost anywhere. And both the physical and flight models are superb. What’s not to love?
@@beepIL There are two things you can do to improve the FPS performance on the Kodiak. First pop the fuse for the standby display to the left of the PFD. That little secondary display is an FPS hog. The fuse is on the bottom row. It’s a three-amp fuse about in the middle. The second thing you can do is go into the display settings on the Kodiac’s PFD and turn off 3-D terrain display. Hope this helps. Happy flying.
I can’t wait to be able to build a PC a for MSFS, for now running on an Xbox series S just so I can at least fly (couldn’t get a series X at the time) but PC aid so much better in terms of aircraft features. This looks like a lovely aircraft, I like the scenery add-on too.
A very enjoyable flight review Mark, I have to agree this is one of the best GA aircraft out there, alongside the JF Turbo Arrow. Don't forget to switch on your inertial separator, especially in that part of the world. Take care and happy new year!
As usual a great review....but, pleeese, pleeese, when showing this beautifully rendered plane from outside using the showcase cam....turn the zoom factor up to app 80% so the proportions are not totally distorted. I know in the external wiev zoom is the only way of moving back and forth, but in showcase cam you have both zoom and translation. The zoom is just like choosing the right lens for your DSLR. Just a gripe I have ....
Are you confusing strobe lights with the rotating beacon? Strobes are typically only turned on as you enter the runway, and off as you leave it, much like the landing lights - their high intensity can be very disorientating to other aircraft if used on the ground. As for position/nav lights, it seems to come down to personal preferrence. I was taught beacon before starting (as soon as you switch the battery on actually) and nav lights before taxying, but a lot of people put both on together.
@@otterspocket2826 Yes, my bad. I meant the beacon. Maybe there is a difference between airliners and GA. And maybe personal preferences play a part as well. Thank you for correcting.
Awesome review and video Mark, setting up a dummy approach for those runways- that was a stellar tip, and I just learnt something new! Have a wonderful New Year from another Mark ;)
How do you move from cockpit to cabin and open the doors on xbox. I tried showcase mode and tried to click open the rear door. It turned blue but won't do anything? Thanks for your great tutorials.
Love flying this plane and your tutorial on the throttles, condition levers and pitch were so helpful.....What's the LED hud thing in the center post of the windshield, and - When I have the sim HUD info on at full throttle I can only get about 83% engine power....is that normal?
That is your AOA indicator (angle-of-attack). Used for take off and landing…when the arrow goes red your close to stall. Engine power will depend on the condition lever position…should be high for flight, plus your altitude.
Mark a very basic question from one of your followers , Regarding the audio clicking noise that occurs when adjusting the trim wheel and elevators , How does one obtain this sound ie is it settings in msfs or special to the Kodiack 100 ,Many thanks for any help
Looks lovely, the only thing keeping me from buying it is that glass cockpit. I know it is accurate to the type, but just not my thing. I ended up buying the MilViz PC-6 in the hopes that the "steam gauge" version will be released soon. BTW, thanks for your video on mapping the Bravo - I was able to use it on the PC-6 and it works perfectly
@@EricDevoe I fell into the same camp as you in that I only liked flying steam gauges. Just before the Kodiak came out I started trying out the Cessna 208 (Caravan) with the G1000NXi mod. I have slowly come to love using the NXi modded G1000 whereas I did not like using the Asobo version. Then came the Kodiak and I haven't looked at my trusty steam gauge 172 since. 🙂
Great video. A big thumbs up from Zambia! Can you share or point to info on how your rudder pedals are set up? Have thrustmaster myself and find them to be quite jittery even after setting quite a bit of a dead zone. Any tips there greatly appreciated esp on a plane whose flight model will demand good rudder input.
Hi Captain! Great videos as always, thank you. Any chance you can help with an XBOX Kodiak / Velocity One config guide? I am struggling with the quadrant levels in particular, condition, Prop and Throttle. Thanks in hopeful advance.
Happy New Year SHFS! Nice Kodiak video!! It has become my favorite aircraft as well. I do have one question though. You didn't include a co-pilot in your flight, but I'm curious if you've used a co-pilot on other Kodiak flights? If so, did they show up in the outside view? My co-pilot does not show up in any view, even though I have one selected in the main sim settings and I fill out their weight on the weight and balance screen. Makes me wonder if it's tied to the specific model of Kodiak I've been using. So far I've only used the mixed cargo/passenger version with Tundra tires. I may have to switch to one of the others and see what happens.
Great video for a great plane! Quick question, you said you had taxi lights set for your alpha yoke. Are you using in game controls or something like spad.next? I cannot get them to work
@SimHanger Flight Simulation thanks for the reply. I ended up getting to work except landing lights because of the 3 position switch. Great video and great channel.
How to you get the dedicated camera view of the complete MFD? I have been unable to do this, no matter how I turn the hat switch on my Logitech Flight yoke? Is there's a keyboard shortcut? I haven't found it yet. I like to enter flight plans in the G1000NXi. In other GA planes I do this in the MFD, with a dedicated camera view that allows me to turn knobs, push buttons, and so forth with my mouse. In other planes, the dedicated view in my 27-inch monitor is large enough to see everything clearly. But I can't get a dedicated view of the Kodiak's MFD that includes its knobs and buttons. So I have to enter flight plans in the PFD's FPL inset screen, which is difficult to see and manage.
I love this plane, however, my MFD will not display the Topo map for some reason, if I uninstall the NXi Mod then the default G1000 Topo Map works fine. I Flight Sim on the Xbox Series X. Any suggestions?
I bought the Kodiak 100 in the game's marketplace. I don't know how to set up the configuration with seats. Only the cargo load appears. Can you help me please?
Will be returning this. Aircraft is broken, doesn't work for me due to a bug: 🐞 @08:43 No matter what temperature I select on the climate controller, the indicated and selected temperature display changes but I don't feel any change!
@@SimHangerFS Nothing here, measured my ambient temp and it doesn't change when I change the setting in the aircraft. Still balmy like hell. Tested with NXi and without. I got the latest version.
well this is all truly amazing. one question i’ve got and apologies if you addressed this and i missed it. does it take advantage of the checklist function within the sim? cheers. happy new year, keep up the great work
@@SimHangerFS I'm not sure I understand your answer to this one. I have rarely used the in-sim checklist feature in MSFS 2020 because I mostly flew the 172 and have real-world checklists for that. However, when I got the Kodiak, I had to find something to get me started so I used the In-sim checklist that came with the plane. I can scroll through the many items and check them off as I go and, as you mentioned, the sim points out the items in the cockpit to help familiarize you with their location. So what functions are missing in the Kodiak in-sim checklist? (as I mentioned, I'm not exactly familiar with all the possibilities with regard to the built-in MSFS 2020 checklist feature.)
Here’s another answer as someone who is fed up with devs either not using the in sim checklist system at all or not bothering to use it to its fullest potential. With this particular plane, which is a good plane but unfortunately the checklist is a mess. At least it’s there, but many items do not have a camera setup, many items do not have highlights, and many items do not recognise what state the item is in and respond accordingly with the Evaluation option that reads out each one. It also has other issues like a couple of things having placeholder text. It’s the one area that really needs a lot of work. Fortunately though it’s not a super complex plane, Quest went for a streamlined and low workload setup so after a few flights it’s pretty easy with a normal PDF checklist.
@@WhiteHawk77 thanks for this fantastic reply. i think the checklist system is game is amazing and it is terrible how underutilized it’s been by both asobo/microsoft and 3rd party devs.
@@goalski134 no problem. I hate a fair few design decisions Asobo have made with this sim, but the checklist system isn’t one of them, they got that right, but then so few use it. In fact I’m not sure any addon plane does completely for every item, not the ones I’ve got anyway, so that sucks as one of major frustrations is knowing where things are and what things are in a new plane. But I do highly recommend picking this plane up regardless of the state of the checklist right now, as I said the cockpit isn’t as busy as some other planes, just a few flights on my New Zealand end to end tour and I’m pretty comfortable with it now.
Just a couple of questions. I use Navigraph charts in VR. When I open charts and login and use my mouse to say lookup an airport code, I lose the ability to use my honeycomb controls.and lose control of the aircraft. Does anyone else find this issue? Also I have not been able to get the landing lights switch configured to the Alpha yoke. Can anyone share what light command they are using in MSFS to configure this switch to the alpha yoke? Is there anyway we can share the config profiles for the alpha and bravo for this aircraft? I use the HP Reverb G2. In the General Options menu under camera tab, there is a setting called "home cockpit mode" Should this be enabled when using the sim in VR? I appreciate your help. Thanks
I’m able to use Navigraph in vr and honeycomb TQ no problem. You do need to click back on the sim though. I will be doing a switch config guide soon on the channel.
