Nach über eineinhalb Jahren haben Thranda ein Update für ihre Umsetzung der Kodiak für X-Plane bereitgestellt. Beim Loadmanager und Groundhandling ist die Maschine jetzt verbessert worden:

• Improved accuracy of Weight and Balance popup clickspots and cursor position.
• Added pointer-hand cursor to weight and balance popup.
• Added Docking Mode Toggle command: “thranda/operations/DockingModeToggle”
• Added: Releasing the parking brake will toggle SlewMode / Docking Hold off.
• Adjusted nose wheel steering sensitivity to improve ground handling and control.
• Adjusted torque green arc limit to correspond to 1670 ft-lbs.
• Adjusted prop airfoil to fix slow climb rate when at 2200 RPM.
• Icing placard warning is hidden when the de-ice system is enabled.
• Adjusted spacing on MISC popup page for “Anti Ice Equipped” line.
• Added Synthetic Vision Plugin for the G1000.
• Add manifest option “SeatClickLbs” to set how much weight gets added when clicking on a seat in the W&B popup.
• Add Auto-trim system.  As flaps are extended or retracted the pitch trim automatically runs to compensate for the nose-up or nose-down moments.  Active above 35 knots and when flaps are extended 5 degrees or more.
• Add visible cargo in the cargo pod.
• Fixed COM frequency swap buttons on G1000.

Mit Thranda und SimWorksstudios gibt es die Kodiak bereits in zwei Flugsimulatoren in realistischer Umsetzung. Unsere Review zur MSFS-Version der Kodiak könnt ihr hier nachlesen.
