Aircraft visuals

Amazingly deep, realistic and detailed PBR materials
Dynamic Livery generator - generate dozens of livery varieties within minutes, live, while in-sim
High quality, optimised 3D mesh throughout, based on actual CAD model of the real plane
High resolution texture (around 350 pix/m)
PBR dynamic interior window reflections with realistic scratches and imperfections
Window and instrument reflections that emulate sense of depth
Numerous covers, tie-downs, chocks, caps - all accessible via menu
Modelled and functional GPU
Custom lighting throughout (custom strobe flash pattern, custom halos, custom lighting logic)
Pulsing landing light option
Gimballed internal 3D lights throughout, which cast light on the surfaces they point to (HDR mode)
Lifelike, realistically animated Pilot and Co-pilot figures (Co-pilot figure appears/disappears depending on weight)
Features a Cargo mode, which covers windows and re-arranges passenger compartment for cargo operations.
Cargo that appears and disappears, depending on weight set (in Cargo mode)
Detailed engine model under cowlings that can be opened
All chrome and reflective materials look realistic in X-Plane, thanks to PBR
Extremely detailed and realistic panel, G1000 glass, and steam gauge glass, which is also night-lighting responsive, and features Fresnel effect.
Slick 2D pop-up (actually, 'fly-out') window, giving you quick access to all the plane's extra features.
Animated air conditioning gimbals throughout.
Custom and X-plane default camera presets
Hideable cargo pod with doors that rip off at higher airspeeds if left open
Open cargo pod doors respond to prop wash or weather wind by oscillating back and forth.
Electric tug, to tow the plane (based on a real-life tug model controlled via smartphone.)

Flight dynamics and systems

Laminar's built-in G1000, which features procedures and synthetic vision
Extremely accurate flight dynamics, arrived at with the help of in-house real-time visual tools (Fully updated to X-Plane 11.40, including water model)
Engine can break during over-torque if in realistic mode
Over-torqued engine causes shaft break, prop loss, smoke in cockpit, chip in engine, alarms, terrifying sounds etc.
Smoke in engine can be brought under control by killing the 'Firewall Air' via knob on panel.
Cargo pod and wheel pants affect aerodynamics realistically
Adding cargo pod enables use of weight and balance manager to determine load.
Tie-downs prevent aircraft from moving, even in high winds

Interface and usability

Fly-out pop-up menu featuring six menus:
- General (mode, tug, cargo pod, reflections, lights, etc. options)
- Livery selector for pre-painted liveries (X-Plane standard system, with animated previews that look great) or switch to dynamic liveries, where you can edit and create your own liveries quickly with the provided tools
- Dynamic real-time weight-and-balance manager with full scroll support, metric/imperial switching, cargo pod option, ability to increase/decrease overall weight or shift balance, automatically re-calculating all loads etc.
- Camera: select camera snap points visually, or use X-Plane's internal camera preset system, with an added visual interface.
- Audio: Mix 6 aspects of audio in the plane, via scrollable volume faders, to get the mix just right for your taste. Slew mode allows you to place your plane in real time in 3D, temporarily bypassing X-plane's aerodynamics.
- Misc menu allows access to skis, bush tires, mud flaps, cargo version, executive version, synthetic vision in G1000, autopilot choice (G1000 bezel or S-TEC55), and anti-ice option

Advanced sound system

Doppler effects are sensitive to how the camera is behaving in relationship to the plane. (No more screeching when dollying camera towards the plane.)
High fidelity, multi-track sounds, simulating multiple layers of engine and prop sounds, depending on camera angle, distance, atmospheric conditions etc.
Different for front of plane vs. back of plane.
Panning around the plane yields stunning 3D audio effects
Audio positioning is clearly discernible; move around the engine compartment and the sound origin clearly shifts depending on where the camera is pointing.
Individual buttons and switches in the cockpit each have their own sound origin, which is mapped across the stereo spectrum.
Gimballed AC vents actually 'blow air' when directed at the camera, and the audio pans off to the side the gimbal is turned to
Ambient sounds
Realistic electrical sounds, based on bus load and other factors. (Sounds actually give you clues as to what's happening under the hood.)
Yoke, throttle quadrant, brake handle etc. make friction sounds that are proportional to their movements, both in pitch and in volume.
Realistic oxygen flow sound effects
Combustion roar sound typical for turboprop engines - recorded from real PT6 engine
Outside wind intensity is affected by slip and AOA. (The more the surface area of the fuselage is hit by oncoming wind, the louder the sounds)
Individual brake sounds, tug motor sounds etc.

Bush Pack Expansion (included with this Kodiak G1000 software)

This Expansion Pack includes:

AMPHIBIAN version (floats with retractable landing gear)
SKI version (with animated skis that adapt to ground angle and bumpiness)
EXECUTIVE INTERIOR (with seats facing each other and animated slide-out tables). Weight and balance manager graphics adapt to the seating configuration.
CARGO version (featuring covered windows, flat loading area, and cargo visualisation that adapts to the weight set in the weight and balance manager)
TUNDRA version (featuring larger balloon tyres to tackle any rough terrain. Affects flight dynamics and ground handling.)

The Amphibian version includes control for retractable water rudder, extra aerodynamic surfaces on the tail of the plane, retractable gear and dynamic paint scheme adapted textures.

Several menus in the slide-out window adapt dynamically to the configuration selected by the user. (e.g. cargo pod is not available for float version).

System Requirements:

X-Plane 11.40+
16GB RAM - 2GB VRAM minimum; 4GB+ VRAM recommended
Windows, Mac or Linux running in 64-bit mode
