Anatoli-Kagari9 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I mean, can ice accumulate in your ww2 or Korea fighters, under the necessary conditions ? I know for some aircraft modules pitot icing is indeed simulated. Flight Simulation is the Virtual Materialization of a Dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Dragon Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I think the Ka-50 and Mi-8 has simulated ice and icing conditions, not sure in warfigters, meanwhile Yo-Yo talk some time ago expected some type of visual effect on cockpits (as rain drops).

msalama Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 To my knowledge the Hip has it modelled, not sure about the others though. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzles Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm assuming jcomm means wing icing and similar. As far as I know, no. Only pitot and limited engine icing (on some mods) is implemented. Canopy Icing is technically in the Mig-21, but LNS have disabled it pending visual effects being added to DCS.

Anatoli-Kagari9 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Thank you for your answers. Indeed I was referring to ice accumulation on wings and other surfaces, pitot icing, etc...

Rabb Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Pitot icing is also simulated on A-10C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specter1075 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 This would presumably come more into play when they update the weather systems. It would be neat to pass through some lower layers and see moderate to severe mixed icing building up on the air-frame. It would prove a unique challenge too, where one would have to limit time spent at low level when those conditions exist. I suppose frontal boundaries are too much to hope for, but transitions from freezing rain to pellets to snow would be neat too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firmek Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think the Ka-50 and Mi-8 has simulated ice and icing conditions, not sure in warfigters, meanwhile Yo-Yo talk some time ago expected some type of visual effect on cockpits (as rain drops). Is the icing simulated in a way that it is actually affecting the flight characteristics and different systems, in extreme case potentially resulting in a fatal condition - for instance reduction of rotors lift force, engine output, pitot starting to work like an altimeter, etc..? Or is it only the systems modeling - betty complaining, anti-icing automatically kicking-in and reducing engine power?

S D Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Is pitot heat for the A10C supposed to be always activated, or there is a risk of "overheat" damage? In theory, yes it can be damaged. Not sure if this is implemented... General rule of thumb, is it to make sure its off while your on the ground, unless the outside temps are very cold.

Bond 42 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Is pitot heat for the A10C supposed to be always activated, or there is a risk of "overheat" damage? Should be turned on as part of the before take off checklist. And off, during the after landing checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabb Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 In Ka-50, if you fly in winter and don't turn on de-icing systems, you will lose pitot speed indication first, then many other things, the most serious one being engine power and helicopter will eventually crash unless corrective measures are taken.
