LATEST RELEASE 2.6; RELEASED Oct 29th, 4:00PM -7 ZULU
Build 2.6 is released; Oct. 29th, 2009
Build 2.6 is now released. We have created an Auto-Updater mini installer for
those that already have the Build 2.5. This Updater pack has an Installer, but you
can manually install it if you like by running the installer and have it directed to a
Temp folder, where you can then transfer (drag and drop) your files from the
Temp folder into your Kodiak folders. If you have repaints added to your Kodiak,
then you really must do the manual install. When you do, have a copy of your
original 'aircraft.cfg' file on your Desktop, then copy/paste the 'repaint Registry
entries into your new 'aircraft.cfg' file so that they will appear in the new Build version.
You can download the new mini Auto-Updater here
Fixes to Build version 2.6
* Garmin G1000 Graphics update to the Garmin bazel graphics along top right edge, refined
* Garmin G1000 now has;
1. Parking Brakes in Announcement / Annunciator section
2. Water Rudder in Announcement / Annunciator section
3. Gear Up 'Amphib' mode in Announcement / Annunciator section
* Over Torque effect in flight causing left hand pull and roll of aircraft when using extreme realism settings has been
deleted
* Turbine Torque readout on ECIAS section of Garmin system now reads to redline (was only going to half way
mark)
* New 2D panel has ratio corrected graphics and Garmins. We found that a very few computers could not handle
the slightly 'out of ratio' of the Garmins gauges, causing some CTD's. The panel graphics were redone to
accommodate the taller ratio of the Garmins and is now properly sized.
(Note that the Bill Leaming 'wide screen' panels option is still in the package and you can easily 'activate' the 'ws'
panel by adding in the 'ws' into 'Panel' entry in the vairous aircraft Registry's at the top of the 'aircraft.cfg' file.

This Garmin system replicates the Garmins used in actual production Kodiaks, which use the S-Tec Five-Fifty X
series Auto Pilot.
The gauge codes for the Garmins have been totally overhauled and their performance has been upgraded with some
new innovations and enhancements, as well as graphics refinements.
The MFD now features;
* Slower refresh rates to enhance frame rates performance in Flight Simulator
* DeClutter which can removed all rendered objects in the Map mode window down to only airports
* Night Terrain mode which lowers rendering colors on the Map to only 2 colors
* Map Sleep Mode which goes into 'zero-Map-rendering' mode, showing only the Garmin boot up screen. This final
feature can be switched on (Map menu button, center bottom, on the MFD screen) and will boost your frame rates
even farther.
* Exterior aircraft models (Spot Plane View Modes) now feature screen 'dummies', non functioning, non continuous
render screens that are mearly textures, which will enhance frame rates on Spot Plane modes also.
The PFD screen has been refined as well and now features added details and additional graphics. The MFD now
has 'improved' menu systems, and non-black screen viewing, as like actual Garmin systems.

Question: Does the Mindstar Garmin G1000 system work in the Quest Kodiak?
Answer: No. According to the owner of Mindstar, the Quest Kodiak has a different sized mapping platform from
the size of the Mindstar Garmin. Our height/width ratio is also different, thus causing the MS Garmin to not run
properly.
Question: Will this aircraft work on slower computers?
Answer: Yes. The Kodiak has a redesigned MFD GPS screen with slower refresh rates, a map 'sleep' mode, and
also has an optional auto-install Textures Performance Pack, which will bring the technical high realism level down to
'stock' texture perameters, (like that of stock FS aircraft). See below for the Textures Performance Pack link.
Question: Can I install this over the older version of Kodiaks for FS?
Answer: No. You MUST delete the older version or you will see other versions of the older models mixed in with
the new platforms and textures.
Question: Does the Kodiak still have the Scenery package adventures of the Villages and Missionary Flights?
Answer: Yes and no. FS2004 still has this, but it is no longer a built in feature. FSX does 'not' have this feature as
the terrain and scenery village models do not function properly in FSX. The maps and flights are no longer in the
package and integrated into the panel system. But the maps and checklists are still in the Panel folders for those
that wish to fly the Missionary adventures. We will soon be releasing various scenery and Mission packages for
those interested in doing Missionary flights. These will be freeware addons added additionally later. Please check
in to this webpage occasionally for more information on their releases.
Question: I already have the Flight1 Kodiak. Do I need to repurchase this?
Answer: No. If you already have the Kodiak (Build 1.0), then email help@lionheartcreations.com with your sales
purchase number or sales info certificate and full name, and we can generate a key for you. The reason the key will
not work on the new version of the Kodiak is a technical issue. We are seeking to repair this.
Question: I cannot get the sound to work. Is there a sound pack in the Kodiak? What is the problem?
Answer: There is no sound pack in the Kodiak package. The Kodiak package runs on the stock FS Cessna
Caravan sound file to run. If you remove this from your sim, it will cause the Kodiak to be soundless. But you can
easily place a different aircraft sound folder of your choice into the Kodiak and Kodiak Floatplane 'aircraft folders'
and you will then have the sound of your choice.

easily place a different aircraft sound folder of your choice into the Kodiak and Kodiak Floatplane 'aircraft folders'
and you will then have the sound of your choice.
Tip One: The Quest Kodiak has 10 different models, and also feature 7 different paint schemes. This gives a
person a possible 70 different aircraft in one package. However, we did not 'wire' the aircraft registries for 'all'
versions. If for instance, you wish to have the 'Empty' model with a Coast Guard version exterior, simply create a
new registry section and add in the basic details to activate it.
EXAMPLE:
[fltsim.0] <--- Change this (number series next in line, add to bottom)
title=Kodiak Cargo Yellow <--- Change this (name)
sim=Kodiak
model=Cargo <--- Change this if needed (model type)
panel=
sound=
texture=Yellow <--- Change this to desired paint scheme, (name of texture folder)
kb_checklists=kodiak_check
kb_reference=kodiak_ref
atc_id=N491KQ
atc_id_color=0xff000000
atc_parking_types=RAMP
ui_manufacturer=Quest Kodiak
ui_type="Cargo Plane" <--- Make sure this is the right 'type' of model (model version)
ui_variation="Yellow Cargo Plane" <--- Change this (name)
Tip Two: The Float version in FSX the Kodiak has a float issue due to a new bug in FSX. This is caused from
the new FSX contact points for floats being too close to the landing gear, not spaced farther apart. Presently, the
Kodiak is set as close to the 'middle' as possible, best location for both.
* If you wish your Kodiak Amphibian to float better in the water, lower the pontoon (floats) forward contact points,
and bring them forward a bit. This will also keep the Kodiak from appearing to nose over occasionally. However,
this will cause sparks to appear more often on landings though when on the ground (terrain).
* If you wish your Kodiak to not have any sparks on the ground, then raise your float contact points up a notch. The
floats will appear slightly underwater at times, but you will have no sparks when landing on the ground.

liveries. This features a fully decked out Rescue Air-Ambulance version, passenger model, and a 'filled to the
top' Cargo plane. Each model comes with an optional Belly Pod, and also 3 versions of Amphibious float
planes, one of each of the base models, (Rescue, Passenger, and Cargo).
This newest 'Build 2.00' has been totally rebuilt and features an all new instrument panel system, faster
Garmin system, high resolution texture packs, more refined parts meshes, extreme detail with super small
parts being shown, and now also includes a fully FSX 'pure' model version complete with DDS DXT5 format
textures, FSX models, and 3 dimensional bump mapping, showing all rivets and panel lines in a 3D high
realism view.
Lastly, this also features a 'High Performance Texture Pack' with an auto-installer that loads a set of textures
that are all 'standard resolution'. This is for those who might have slower computers or less powerful laptop
comptuers.

High Resolution (EXTREME) Panel Textures for FSX
This will upgrade your instrument panel resolution for the FSX Edition of
the Quest Kodiak, making them double size.
These are in DDS DXT5 format and are 2048 pixels square. The
download is 1.4 megs. You can download them here;
To install, simply drop the two DDS files into 'both' the Kodiak/'textures'
folder and Kodiak Floatplane 'textures' folder (texture folder in 'each' of
the 2 Kodiak aircraft folders in FSX).
This 'will not' improve frame rates. This will improve resolution of the font
lettering on the instrument panels, and may lessen your computer
performance at least 1 frame rate.
Many have requested this, and so it is now available.
The FS2004 version is already in 32bit High Resolution.

New Photoreal Kodiak High Resolution Texture Super Pack!
This is a high resolution photo real texturepack by renown Flight
Sim painter Robert BananaBob Rivera. This package contains
9 complete texture packs for both FSX and FS9. These are high
realism and some feature some dirty texturizations for those that
want that 'lived in' rugged look.
These are donationware, a mere $2.00. For the immensity of
the package, its a steal. About the same price as an App at
iTunes.com.
I now have these on my planes. I highly recommend them.
This package features a Auto-Installer. You can manually install this package by running the Installer and
directing it to a Temp Folder on your Desktop, then drag and drop the files into your Kodiak. For those that
already have repaints added into your Kodiak, you will NEED to do the Manual install and be sure to save your
old 'aircraft config file' so you can transfer your old repaint Registry's onto your new aircraft config file. This
package is already modified with the new Build 2.6 config files and tuneups.
Happy flying,
