The Quest Kodiak 100 for Microsoft Flight Simulator is out and ready for purchase. The payware aircraft looks set to offer a quality bush-plane and turboprop cargo aircraft experience. Let’s have a look!

Ready to fly the Kodiak

Powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada turboprop engine, the Kodiak 100 is a small utility aircraft with short takeoff and landing capabilities and genuine bushplane credentials. Sim Works Studios is offering the conventional wheeled version first with a floatplane version being offered as a separate add-on later.

The aircraft looks set to pack in a ton of features and is, as a result, priced at a higher level than some other add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Here are the features as listed by the Just Flight website:

  • Realistic flight model
  • Full G1000 NXi integration (NXi supported at the time of release. Newer versions of the NXi may require updates to the aircrat to maintain compatibility.)
  • Custom air conditioning system
  • Accurate 3D model created from factory CAD data
  • Cargo pod and no cargo pod versions
  • Standard and tundra tyres
  • Five different interiors: cargo, passenger, mixed, skydive, summit (executive)
  • High quality sounds recorded from the real aircraft
  • Custom animations: landing gear flex, tail fluttering, working cabin lighting, armrests, air conditioning
  • PDF manual included in add-on folder

Sim Works Studios says that the aircraft will eventually be offered in the Marketplace and in the meantime is on offered by Just Flight on their webstore, on OrbxDirect and direct from Sim Works Studios.


One response to “Sim Works Studios Kodiak 100 releases for MSFS”

  1. […] Microsoft Flight Simulator is the thousand pound gorilla of flight sims and its release this year on XBox further cemented that status. Perhaps no more telling than when PMDG’s Rober Randazzo revealed on a podcast that their MSFS DC-6 sold more in its opening hours than it had sold on all other platforms combined over their lifetime. MSFS is big! Thousands of new additions to the sim’s marketplace ranging from aircraft to scenery packs to more unique add-ons have really pushed the sim in all directions at a rapid rate. Highlights for me were the Aviat Husky release as well as some of the impressive world updates for the sim which added even more details and more reasons to go explore the world which I did particularly with Japan and the UK. Too many developers released quality content this year to list but there’s a lot out there from companies like JustFlight with a bunch of releases including the Pa-28 series, Carenado pumping out a half dozen aircraft (and doing a decent job of going back and fixing aircraft which I remarked on with the WYMF-5), and even some newer upstarts like Parallel 42 with their new FreedomFox and SimWorks Studios with their Kodiak 100.
