Why You Should Fly the Kodiak 100 by SimWorks Studios - Microsoft Flight Simulator

In this edition of Why You Should Fly we take a look at the SimWorks Studios Daher Kodiak 100, an awesome single engine light utility plane capable of hauling people and cargo to the remotest of destinations.

This is a really great high-fidelity glass cockpit airplane, you get good compelex engine management and systems depth with great visuals and a really fun flight model, especially for STOL work.

It gets up in the air quick and lands very short. It’s amazing, I’m really enjoying it. Also fun exploring all the small airstrips.

Just got it, and cannot wait to get some stick time with it. Unfortunately, my line of work is working at an MRO, doing heavy C Checks on single isle aircrafts, which Unfortunately leaves me very little time these days, for my favorite passion, virtual flying. Thanks for the review, mate. 😅

Bought it just this past week. Already one of my favorite planes. Really nice plane with lots of flexibility for many runways. I did touch and go for an hour plus yesterday on a grass strip. Getting a good feel for the plane so I can check out some more difficult landing locations

Nice video.
This is much nicer than the one from Tandra for X plane 12 and also cheaper!
I'm really starting to consider switching to MSFS, but the new version!

I've racked up alot of hours in the Kodiak. Especially since the update. Simworks did amazing job. I fly Pacific NW into and out of Alaska alot.

I've had this plane for some time now, but I just can't get on with it. I find hand flying it is a real chore. It bounces around like no other plane I fly when flying in real weather.

You’re right and so I bought it on sale. ❤️🔥🌶

How do you get cargo and passengers in there?

[lancerproductions]

Great job as usual! Wish you got more views. You deserve it for sure. All your content is great and always an instant click for me. Take care.

A great plane and definately one of my favorites in the sim. 😊👌

I love Kodiak 100. But Do you know the landing light shotcut?
Please let me know if you know

This will be my next addition to msfs. Typically fly airliners, but want a good solid bush type for some of the more remote areas. Cant very well land an a320 into the rangers station 😂

Had to buy it and try it but this little buzz box is not for me, managed to get it started but could not get it to move off the parking bay, this is way too finicky for me. There are other similar planes that I will stick with.

I watched your video on the H Jet & got me doing a nice flight bar the autopilot on landing I forgot to check my trim but landed her. You have sold me on the Kodiak, in otherwards I like your flying very like O.K. s Thank's Bud 🤩👍💚

I just discovered you and I enjoyed your video. Good stuff! I used to live in Sandpoint, Idaho, where these were built. Great plane made by great people.

[jay-rus]

Agreed on landing speed. With minimal time in the plane I like mid-80s give or take. Once into mid-70s the plane becomes a bit more unpredictable, and when I had to power up for a missed approach the plane torque hit pretty hard. I tried that again later and at 85kts or so it wasnt nearly as pronounced.

Just bought it, having throttle issues on take-off. The throttle goes up and down by itself making it impossible to fly.

[Not_Lewis]

Does anyone know how to silence low oil pressure chimes? It's getting very annoying having a constant beep during flight planning and before actually starting the engine. Think it may be a bug

[BoogalooFL]

This might be a dumb question, but what is the tablet you are using @7:54?

[clarencesmith]

MSFS 2020 throttle / beta settings??😊
