Kodiak Preview

[Tom Clayton]

SWS gave AvAngel an advance copy for preview/review, and it looks outstanding!

Ignore the fact that she forgot to turn off the starter...

I forgot about the starter but not the price including all the variants. Rember those days when all the variants were included for a reasonable fair price. MSFS addons started out priced to move off the shelf but lately....

For me, this has just the right amount of "Systems" simulation and a boatload of details that the defaults don't have. I'm more than likely going to be a day-one customer.

45€ ? LouP, agree with you. Another one that I will pass....

The pricing would be more reasonable if they were doing something like Milviz is with the PC-6 for MSFS, where the float versions are included for free if you buy the product now, but they're an extra charge if you wait until they're released to buy.

[Tom Clayton]

The first release will be 30 for four distinct variants - 7.50 each, so not so bad. If the amphib comes as a choice between pod and no-pod, that pricing still holds. Even if the floater is just one model, it still totals out to 9 per variation. Unless something drastic happens, I'll be a week-one customer for the wheeled package. But I'll probably hold off on the floater until MS/Asobo can get water handling sorted out.

While I agree flight sim products are getting more and more expensive, everything is. I can remember when a loaf of bread was 25 cents and a Coke Cola 5 cents. I remember buying add on airplanes for $5.00. I wouldn't install one of those early airplanes in MSFS if I could. They are like cartoon figures to a Rembrandt, when compared to today to an airplane like the SWS Kodiak.

I believe the initial model will be about 30 Euros. In my mind for the quality and systems it will deliver the price is normal. I plan on purchasing it alone with the F-16 when available.

Then I hope no one else comes out with anything I can’t forgo for a while.

Not here to promote this aircraft, but this is some pretty good video work and editing in MSFS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kXjyaHroF0
