Equipped with the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34 engineflat-rated at 750shp, the aircraft is capable of taking off from waterin less than 1000ft from reaching take-off power, while still beingable to operate from short fields and cruise fast at 160kts. /images/notams/notams22/sws1014/sws-kodiak-2.jpgFeaturesAccurate 3D model created from factory CAD dataAmphibian floats and authentic cockpit equipment for their operationFunctioning beta rangeFour different interiors: cargo, passenger, mixed, summit (executive)36 liveriesCustom animations: tail fluttering, working cabin lighting, armrests, air conditioning and much more!Full G1000 NXi integrationCustom air conditioning systemHigh quality sounds recorded from the real aircraftPDF manual included in add-on folder /images/notams/notams22/sws1014/sws-kodiak-3.jpg /images/notams/notams22/sws1014/sws-kodiak-4.jpgPurchase Simworks Studios - Kodiak 100 Series III Amphibian for MSFS Also Available: Simworks Studios - Kodiak 100 Series II Wheeled Version for MSFS See all SWS add-ons for MSFS 2020

/images/notams/notams21/cess0925/cess0925.jpgThe Cessna 172N was not officially build to support water floats,however certain number of this models were fixed with straight floatsby their owners. Amphibian modifications are less frequent; however Idecided to develop this variation based in float manufacturers thathave been successfully doing this job over decades. This C172N Floatplane V1.3 "Extended Edition" is essentially theaddition of an amphibian variant to previous releasedstraight-floatplane plus Update Pack features. This means that youwill not longer need to use the Update Pack after installing thisrelease, in fact you should not. This is a Standalone product whichalso can be used to update any of the previous releases of the"AEROPROYECTO C172N Floatplane", including those already upgraded withthe Update Pack. This edition also refines systems and programming as well as 3Dmodeling and on water performance details. Additional features forbetter experience are included, some of which comes from userpreferences. /images/notams/notams21/cess0925/c172-floatplane-1.jpgExternal And Interior ModelHighly accurate and optimized modeling for good performance; every visible mechanism or part on interior and exterior are modeled in detailElevator angle is affected by trimming setting due to prop wash or the free airstream; the yoke feedbacks due to this action as wellAlmost every parts or mechanism is animated in the external and internal model. Engine vibration is simulated, as well as flexible items like antennas and static dischargers. Pitot cover ends and tie-down ropes dance with the airspeedTexturing are applied depending on the relevance of the point of view, providing the user with a nice environment while keeps a friendly Frame Rate Ambience reflections, bumps, damages, dirt and sun reflect effects are applied, no matter the angle you are lookingOpen doors will close depending on the intensity of prop wash airstream or the angle and the intensity of the wind, in case you are stoppedThe cabin can be filled with occupants, depending on the individual payload station weight setting. Pilot arms are animated with the pilot´s yoke and all characters have natural animations on heads and eyelidsSeveral cameras are included for external inspection or just for alternative point of views for your enjoymentCustom 3D lights in all positions for a better visual experience.

/images/notams/notams21/widg0729/widg0729.jpgThe G-44A is an American high-wing, twin-engine, amphibious lightaircraft produced by the Grumman Aerospace Corporation in the late1930s. Grumman envisioned a smaller version of its G-21 Goose, whichhad proven successful as a business transport aircraft. Called theWidgeon, the prototype of the aircraft first flew in July of 1940,intended for the civil market. World War II intervened, however, and the production aircraftentered service for the militaries of the United States andBritain. At the end of the conflict, Grumman revisited the civilianconcept for the airframe and released the G-44A Widgeon. The G-44A,with seating for six including the pilot, quickly became well-known asa reliable, durable machine eminently capable of operation from bothland and water, notably in austere and remote areas like those ofAlaska. /images/notams/notams21/widg0729/g44a-widgeon-1.jpgThe Widgeon is driven by two wing-mounted Ranger 6-440-C5six-cylinder engines that each produce 200 horsepower. The airplanehas a maximum speed of 160 miles per hour, a climb rate of 1,750 feetper minute, and a ceiling of 18,000 feet above sea level. A classic gem in the history of aviation, the Grumman G-44A Widgeonallows pilots to access the sky from either land or water, and do soconfidently. From inside the cockpit of the burly machine, aviatorscan launch into the heights from a modern airport, then touch down ona river deep in the backcountry, then leap again into the air from theshore. A go-anywhere craft, the Widgeon provides one of the rarestopportunities to be found in the world of aviation, one that combinespiloting with exploration. /images/notams/notams21/widg0729/g44a-widgeon-2.jpgThe Widgeon was originally designed for the civil market. It issmaller but otherwise similar to Grumman's earlier G-21 Goose, and wasproduced from 1941 to 1955. The aircraft was used during World War IIas a small patrol and utility machine by the United States Navy, USCoast Guard and by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm. The first prototype flew in 1940, and the first production aircraftwent to the United States Navy as an anti-submarine aircraft. Intotal, 276 were built by Grumman, including 176 for themilitary. During World War II, they served with the US Navy, CoastGuard, Civil Air Patrol and Army Air Force, as well as with theBritish Royal Navy, who gave it the service name Gosling. /images/notams/notams21/widg0729/g44a-widgeon-3.jpgFlysimware InformationAlmost all parts animated throughout the interior model.
