Tiger-II Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Hi, I performed an unrestricted climb last night, and was unable to see out the canopy passing about 20000 ft. I used defog, but it took about 5 minutes to clear enough to see while at 45000 ft. Is there any way to prevent fogging before it happens? 1 Motorola 68000 | 1 Mb | Debug port "When performing a forced landing, fly the aircraft as far into the crash as possible." - Bob Hoover.

That way you can prevent fog, at least for certain altitudes 1
Hobo 1-1 Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 There’s a ‘defog’ button on the ECS panel, right hand side of the cockpit. Press that =) The defogger is loud, but it’s automatic. Simply press the button, the canopy will defog and eventually the defogger will shut off. I use the defogger around 12k on my initial climb to prevent the problem from developing. I’ve found that if I wait until the canopy starts to visibly fog the canopy winds up fogging over before the system starts to work. 1

Hodo Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 I turn on my defog system shortly after take off. It is part of my procedure for setting up the aircraft for combat. 2
PetRock Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) While I love the small details like this, it is over modeled, in that it fogs up way too fast or in ways that the actual temp/dewpoint would not allow. I would personally like these to be an option that I could turn on/off in the settings menu for the module. That and the "freezing pilot" feature. Edited March 15, 2021 by PetRock words

FoxTrotAlpha691 Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 The Jeff is my favorite DCS aircraft and in my opinion its the most complete aircraft in the sim, however this fog effect is no bueno, I look forward to having the ability to disable it.
dimitrischal Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I disagree, the fog thing is great guys, turn on the defog at climb and it never fogs. If at any point the defogger is annoying turn ecs off and on again and the defogger stops immediately. What i like is that on unrestricted climbs the canopy fogs badly which corresponds to the abrupt change in external temp. 6

Gogojuice Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 i turned OFF icing on the cake and my fogging issue is gone 1
