Kodiak Update; Build 2.3

L

Lionheart

SOH-CM-2014
Hey all,


For those of you that are Kodiak drivers, there is a new update out. It mainly only covers two fields. One is spool up time on the turbine. The second is the repair of a flaw that occurred to all the rudders in all models. There was an edge that you could see through from certain angles. That has been repaired on all models, in FS9 and FSX.

So, stop by your local Quest dealership and download the newest updates.

Note; this update is very new, so PC Aviator may not have it yet.

Note2; Those of you that purchased the Quest Kodiak from PC Aviator may not have Build 2.2. One customer says he just purchased and recieved 2.1. This issue should be rectified by tomorrow, and it should be Build 2.3 when you reload it.

For those of you that purchased via PayPal, please fill out the 'Request Another Download' form and send it in and I'll get the links to you.

2.3 update

Downloaded from Flight 1 and installed OK. Noted that the .cfg file still says 2.2. Is that OK?

Got my 2.3 update via paypal and the cfg says it is 2.2 as well, but comparing 2.2 to 2.3 I see the changes that were made. Looks like just the version number at the beginning wasn't updated.

A couple of questions...noticed a couple of differences in the aircraft.cfg between the amphib and the wheeled version not related to height, weight , or pitch:


Float: spoiler_limit = 1
Wheel: spoiler_limit = 90

Float: beta_feather = 88.5
Wheel: beta_feather = 200 / was at 88.5

Are these correct? or should the amphib be changed to the same as the wheeled version?
 
Cargo Missing

I've noted that with 2.3 the unloaded cargo textures no longer appear. At first I thought it was because I was using one of Bushpilot's repaints, but upon checking an original wheeled cargo version I found that they no longer appear. Anyone else experiencing this? Curious

Hey JPM,

Make sure you have the cargo texture in the folders. File name: 'Kodiak_Cargo.BMP'. That must be in there or the objects will be gray.

My cargo is showing up fine, and its the model template that goes into the Installer software program.

Yep. A typo on the first few that went out. I quickly updated the changes and reuploaded them. They are 2.3's that you have. (Sorry about the confusion. So many things have to be rotated, reset, tripple checked. I hate it when something that important slips right past).

These should have no bearing on performance, especially the Spoilers. Spoilers have zero drag assigned to them and only accessible through the spoiler key on the keyboard. I was playing around with a different version of slowing the Kodiak down (like the Epic LT has). But at the last, I decided not to use it. The setting remained, but has no bearing on the drag.

On the Beta Feather, I can see no difference in handling. If you want, change yours back to 88.5, but it seems fine as it is.

The major, important changes that really occurred are throttle fuel gain (for accellerated spool up times on the turbine) and the rudder mesh structure, which had a horrible gap between the side skin surfaces and the back panel of the inner vertical stabilizer (back facing panel).

I might still yet redo the 'decelleration' of the Kodiak. It should be more prominent when you are on approach and go to idle... Turboprops are said to be notorious for this and can act like an airbrake with their props.

Hi Bill,

just to clarify...I finally purchased and downloaded over the Memorial Day Weekend via Paypal....that was still the "old" version 2 then right ???

Still busy with the Connies at this point so I had only done one short flight with the Quest....but it is stunningly good.
I did notice the spool time but figured that might just be the way it is and had not even noticed the "glaring" model error :wiggle: on the rudder.

Thanks for a wonderful addition to my hangar.

Don't use the "Auction ID" box. You need your Invoice number which will be something like --Invoice ID: INV-xxxBxxxx

Auction ID
This only pertains to products that were purchased via an online auction. You can obtain the auction id, or auction number, from the auction listing page.

Invoice
This value can be obtained from the PayPal web site, or from your PayPal email receipt that you receive after payment. If you paid using Google Checkout, you can obtain the Invoice value in your receipt. To obtain the Invoice ID from the PayPal web site, log into your PayPal account with the email from above and find the transaction you are looking up. Once you find the transaction, click on the "Details" link to view the transaction details. On that page, you will see the Invoice ID field that contains the value to be entered in the lookup form.

Darn. Sorry that I was no help. I got the same thing until I got the correct invoice number in the right box.

Did you try logging in to paypal first, then do the request page? That might jog the paypal memory. ??
 
Hey Dave,

Sorry man. I was away from the computer for a few hours. arrghh.. Caught me off guard.


Send me your name and email address to william@lionheartcreations dot com and I will get the reload link to you ASAP.


Brent is right though. You only need your name or email address usually to get it. I have no idea what the auction things are for. The one single thing that never fails on looking up orders though is the purchase number or invoice number. That one single number always locates the person and email.
