The best Single Engine Turbine plane for MSFS? SWS Daher (Quest) Kodiak Review | FSHud | Real Pilot
Рет қаралды 20,151
2 жыл бұрынHi all, I'm a Boeing 737 pilot and today we'll have a detailled look at arguably the best Single Engine Turbine aircraft for MSFS: The Daher (Quest) Kodiak 100.
Developer SWS have gone to great detail with this airplane and in this review I'll give you an introduction to it and we'll do a short flight.
I'm using FSHud for this one as well, so if you want to get an impression at an (almost) complete flight with FSHud have a look at this one as well!

Nice job ! I love this plane but can’t keep it on the runway in XP11 after landing. It handles well in MSFS. Your G1000 knowledge is much appreciated and would love to hear more from you on that. Fantastic video…….Great Job. (Steve A.)

The first time I was messing with the weight and balance it was at night, I hadn't turned on the battery, so I was using the flashlight. After adding some passengers I turned around to see if they were there and in the flashlight they looked so creepy I jumped even though I kind of expected them. 😬

Fantastic review, made me purchase this wonderful aircraft! I think you forgot the fuel conditioner lever in low idle during the whole flight? :O From PoH: "Prior to takeoff, move the fuel condition lever forward to the HIGH IDLE position. Leave the fuel condition lever in this position until after landing. The HIGH IDLE gas generator speeds allow for faster engine acceleration when adding power from an idle condition"

First of all, Great video, great channel. Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge with us simmers. Now, I noticed you kept the condition levers in low iddle all the way through TO, climb and cruise…. Did you forget, or is it something possible to do in the kodiak? And I did not notice any performance downgrade from that…. Again, wrong model design or just something normal?

Sir, what Throttle setup do you use for the Kodiak and how have you bound the Fuel ( Mixture) Throttle and Prop? Thanks
@antoniopettini9503 7 ай бұрын
So you suggest to adjust rudder trim before take off and keep that for all the flight? Are you right, control speed is not easy in the approach phase. What you suggest to control the flare? I get some bumping land due to the incorrect flare I suppose
@A330Driver 7 ай бұрын
I think the main problem with flare in MSFS is that the basic sims flight dynamics are don't do it quite right. In the real world it's super easy to put the plane right on the threshold, regardless if it's a C172, a PA28, you-name-it, while in MSFS they always want to float until the mid point.

@michaelheely 2 жыл бұрын
Nice video and agree on the Kodiak. I don’t agree with the sentence: all looks good as expected on a MSFS model. Why: the CAD data comes straight from Daher so this model is not what you expect from all MSFS models. This is the only afaik being 100% real. Check out screws on the closing mechanism on the doors. Even the screws are modelled.
@A330Driver 2 жыл бұрын
With „looks“ I mostly refer to the graphics and not the 3d model accuracy, even though you’re right that it also plays a part in it.
@michaelheely 2 жыл бұрын
@@A330Driver it can’t be stressed enough what a huge difference the 3D model ist. There is no other plane that is 100% real. That’s also the reason the Kodiak has a big loading time compared to all other planes (Xbox loading plane +10-15 sec). Replica vs real world CAD data

I start from dark position, i switch on the battery and as soon as I activate the fuel levers on start an alarm. If I put the fuel levers off the alarm disappear. Obviouslyalso when I run the engine, the alarm quits. Is that Normal? I noted in your video that you got no alarm when you switched on the fuel levers
@ceegnz 2 жыл бұрын
Is it possible the autopilot disconned on approach because the go around altitude you entered was below your current altitude, so the AP regarded it as a restriction and levelled off there ?
@ceegnz 2 жыл бұрын
Nope, that wasn't it, mine did the same thing this morning 1000' above the selected altitude. More trial and error required :)

@eaglethedigger Жыл бұрын
When you fly IFR at FL080 you are still in E airspace in Germany. In real life, is this an issue as ATC can not "control" the VFR traffic? Is IFR "common" below FL010? Thank you !👍
@A330Driver Жыл бұрын
You have to look out the window, in E airspace, even when IFR, the see and avoid rule applies. You will have to give way to aircraft coming from your right. In my company we don't fly faster than 220kt when inside class E airspace and VFR could be expected. We try to avoid class E airspace as much as possible, but many of our destinations have nothing but class E airspace around, then we apply the above procedure.

The Caravan and the Kodiak were NOT designed for "the same thing" the Caravan was designed for FedEx to haul boxes. The Kodiak was specifically designed for "Mission" work - to get in and out of remote, unimproved fields. The Kodiak is a STOL aircraft and can take off and land in under 1.000 feet at gross weight. Look similar - two totally different aircraft.
