Kodiak update

Me too, both sim versions.

I've been waiting for this one and I've got the money burning a hole in my pocket. I missed the first one, so I'm in. Is there any chance of bundling in the FS9 scenery and missions with the FS9 version? Until FSCargoX comes along, I wanna get it set up in FS9, would be sweet.

How are things going with the Kodiak Bill, just curious, and of course wondering when it will be rolled out. Also know that well produced products take time.

Hey TheDCN,

Its now looking like it will not be ready for Christmas, unfortunately. Some things have been taking longer on it then intended.

Hey Jamie,

The scenery couldnt be adapted into FSX. Its too much science to learn so the FSX version will be without the villages. I had hoped to do missions and things, but my goodness man, making a single Mission adventure was extremely sophisticated. I tried to make a simple Mission and after 3 days, I quit and got back to work on the Kodiak.

Missions are pretty cool how they work, but extremely complicated and complex. You have these perimater distance triggers and things, items are animated via flight recorder (Land Rover driving up to meet you), getting triggers to react, etc.

I am lucky to know how to make a plane in FSX, lol... Scenery and Missions will not be in the FSX package.. My humble apologies.

:banghead:

Hello TheDCN,


Just regrouping after Christmas, loss of the main computer, and New Years.

Some gauge work to finish and refine, graphics on the fuselage to finish up, a converted FSX version to create, then testing. New floats are now finished also, the new style that Quest is going with.

No pics worth showing yet.

Hey Gera,

No, I havent.. I'll look for it. Good to see someone made one for X-Plane. I wish I had the time and patience to learn to export to XP9. Id like to see an Epic LT in that sim. :d

Hey DCN,


The FS9 version is just about finished.

The FSX version went into FSX Gmax on Monday. Most of the FSX materials have been created and the animation process's have also been done, (kind of a huge process compared with FS9). Bump mapping will be next for the FSX bird.


Sure is wild to see it with super chrome and reflective plexi. :d


Bottom line.. Its getting real close.

10 - 4 .....

Get widt it dare dude..Wes needs it.........:ernae: :wave: LOL
 
Progressing right along...

New 'low profile' rivets as requested. Some of the paint work is being finished up presently.
 
Hey Bill, Is it any closer? I have some routes in Papau New Guinea, Rangiroa, and the States that need a Kodiak. Some water landings, some tight mountain airstrips, and all that.
