As long as there is no Accusim reference in MSFS I must call it so
I'm not sure what you're saying. Maybe a language thing. What I understand you saying is the Kodiak qualifies as 'Great' because it
doesn't have Accu Sim!
Anyway, take no notice of me. I'm just an old fart that reacts to words like 'Great', 'Fantastic', 'Awesome' etc. when what people mean is OK. Not bad, Nice, Very good and Acceptable.
I'll go and get myself a nice cup of cocoa.
No worries
I can speak louder *hide*
What I mean is that as long as Accusim hasn‘t arrived to MSFS the bar of an okay or great aircraft is lower. The superlatives still have other definitions. What makes the Kodiak better than other addons is the relatively well done turbine engine (same as Milviz‘ PC6 btw), the interactive use of pax and the noticable shift of CG, the pretty nice sound set. The visual model is superb, too.
What I find strange is that I had flown in MSFS for over a year and always had had extremely twitchy flight controls. Then I built a new and really powerfull PC and suddenly this twitchiness is gone. My controller curves have been almost straight (y=x) since then and the planes are much more tamed now. I have no idea why. I flew the Kodiak the first time with this new PC last night and it felt much better with my Honeycomb Alpha. And with AAO I have set up a power lever axis that includes the beta range and reverse. The DC-6 had the same problem with my last PC, very sensitive elevator, now it feels like I would expect a heavy prop plane to feel.
Language, yeah… I studied english over 8 years at school but that was more than 15 years ago.. I‘ve forgotten a lot and what I still know comes from forums, youtube abd Tug‘s dirty jokes
The understanding of „great“ of a native speaker is probably different than the one of a young stranger who learns a foreign language xD but I think we can agree that „bloody &*$(% amazing“ means the same for all of us… which can only be used for A2A
