Simworks Studios Announces Progress On Kodiak For MSFS

It's been some time since we posted our progress on theKodiak. Well, here we are! The VC is in the skilled hands of thetexture artist and this is how it's shaping up so far! After the basework has been done, we will begin adding stencils and stickers toclose the VC out.

From an overall progress standpoint, the aircraft's systems arealmost completed. Exterior and VC are getting their final detailingpass and the focus is on the flight model, checklists and sounds.

Speaking of sounds, SimAcoustics were able to record a real Kodiakrecently, so we will provide you with authentic, high-quality audiousing Wwise!

Last but not least, we decided to break the Kodiak into twoseparate packages: wheeled and amphibian.

The wheeled version will retail at €30 on SWS and cover thewheeled variants of the aircraft. The initial release will contain theTundra, Summit, Skydive, cargo and mixed cargo/paxinteriors. Externally, we will offer standard and tundra tyres, with acargo pod option. We are aiming for a late July to mid-August releasefor this.

The amphibian will retail for €15 and release after theWheeled variant and the Xbox version of MSFS. As this will add wakeeffects and (we anticipate) better hydroplaning behaviour, we willneed the extra time to work on the flotation aspects of the Kodiak (aswell as the Zenith). The floatplane will feature the Tundra, cargo,mixed and Summit interiors.
