SimWorks Studios announces Kodiak 100 for MSFS
SimWorks Studios has announced the development of a new aircraft for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator. After releasing the Zenith CH701 STOL late last year, the dev studio is now working on a new STOL airplane that is similarly built for adventure: the Kodiak 100.
Formerly known as Quest Kodiak, but now as Daher Kodiak, this is a powerful airplane that can go to many challenging small strips. The SimWorks version will also offer an amphibian variant, thus allowing the Kodiak to also land on water.
The Kodiak 100 will be available with multiple interior configurations and at least 18 liveries, so you’re not going to lack variety when it will come to choose a paint scheme to fly with. Additionally, the developers are promising Wwise custom audio environment.
For now, there’s only a single image depicting the airplane, but we will certainly keep a close eye on this new aircraft’s development and let you know once there are more details. Stay tuned!

I would be looking forward to it, as long as it offers more than our existing out of the box with some mods for the Cessna grand caravan. And what I mean by offering more, is a study level product. I don’t know if the SDK can give developers study level functionality yet, as of this post 03.01.2021 I would be interested, if it is study level. For those of you who do not know, study level is a product that has every button knob doors working. Aircraft behaves in a manner that rivals the POH. Aircraft performs as written by the performance charts. Avionics supports all functions of the avionics of its real world counterpart. All Aircraft Systems are modeled to detect the real world counterpart, or at least as close as possible. Have the ability to walk around the aircraft, to check fluid levels off load and load of fuel and all other duties as you would do in a preflight operation. Represent all forms of flights during the operation of the aircraft.
We as flight simulation, aviation enthusiasts, no longer need toys. We want as close as possible to the real world operations of our aircraft. This educates, and fills a need to have ” as real as it gets” experience. Desktop aviators such as myself, would have no problem spending $60.00 to $80.00 for the product, if it delivers the experience criteria as stated above. Desktop aviator such as myself are tired of playing with toys, and want to fly machines, depicted as best as possible, and willing to pay for it. We’ll wait and see what course of action the developer will follow. One man’s optimistic opinion Dion

In reply to Dionsol. I don’t think anyone will ever meet your criteria pal. Get off your high horse. Appreciate what’s made for the sim and don’t complain about it. You haven’t even had a chance to use it yet.
