I'm loving this aircraft. I fly mostly the float version. Does anyone know the secret of coming to a stop after landing on water? I have tried F1/F2, feathered the prop, reversed the prop which puts on it's tail, nothing shot of killing the engine seems to work. Any help would much appreciated!

Working from memory: Find the long Kodiak thread in this forum. I think there was a config tweek that helps. One thing I've found is the pull the stick all the way back until almost a full stop.

Hey Sidler,


Make sure you have Build 2.3. Check your aircraft config file to see which build you have. If you have an older build, request a download from who you purchased it from.

After touch down, Prop lever (blue) should be to half setting or less, and red condition lever should also be at 50% power. Below 40% and the turbine will stall out.

I dont know why she does that in FSX. In FS2004, its perfectly fine, but in FSX, she tries to go into taxiing 'fast'...

Look at this one on youtube:
Navigate to 1:08 in the vid and you'll see that turbo beaver landing :ernae:
I'm not sure but it might have an upgraded engine and I not sure too or you can do this in FS
