Kodiak: mouse wheel non-consistent behaviour

Well, I seem to remember the Kodiak ran fine in the beginning, but I don't really remember, because I bought the SSD at the same time and I've been doing nothing else than installing Windows 7 a few times and drivers and tweaking and whatever...
 
Well, things are looking good! I installed Windows 7 and FSX (plus addons) all over again on the SSD (I am becoming an expert and very fast at it... :jump: ), making sure the other install of Windows 7 and this one are completely seperated: they can't 'see' each other at all now. I think something went wrong with that the previous time (when I could even run the same install of FSX on BOTH systems...!).

I loaded the Kodiak, no problem, started a flight, no problem, quited FSX and did it a few times all over again: no problem. Restarted the computer using the other Windows 7 install, went back to the 'FSX OS', still no problem. Switched the plane during a flight: no problem.

I didn't have time anymore to make a 'real' flight, only to load the Kodiak a few times, but up to now it's looking good... It's a pity I don't really know what went wrong, of course, but right now it seems to be okay. This evening and coming weekend I will make a few flights. Hopefully it stays this way! :icon_lol:
 
Sounds good! Glad to hear that things seem to be working now. :) I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that it stays solid for you through heavy testing this weekend. :)

Yeah, well... just started FSX for the first time today, loaded the Kodiak. You can guess what happened. I think I'll better stop trying and posting now, because this YES and NO and YES and NO is getting boring for you all. :icon_lol:

Anyway, at least you can't say I didn't try... It was big fun while it lasted and I still would recommend the Kodiak to everyone, because it's an awesome plane!!! :applause: I just have bad luck.

Hi all! Been some time since I visited this forum. The reason why I came back is this: I got the Kodiak flying again!

Afaik you all know this by now, but I didn't until I read a post on the Orbx-forum yesterday, where someone said there were known problems with the Kodiak and specific bgl's for the OZx scenery which you can download from the internet. So I decided to install the Kodiak again, I removed the bgl files (don't need them anymore anyway) and... YES! I am back in business! The Kodiak doesn't lock up FSX anymore! :applause:

This is really great because the Kodiak is the perfect plane for Orbx's PNW. Unfortunately I bought two Carenado planes in the meantime... but well, they are okay. But they sure don't perform as well as the mighty Kodiak!!! :salute:

Glad to be back!:wiggle:
