If the Pitot heat is not modelled yet, switch off the icing

Also, icing damage isn’t fixed by repair. So in cold temp/mountain flights, you need a new spawn after every flight, and make your flights short. Eventually they added randomized engine failure after a certain amount of icing. Sometimes one engine dies with second  shortly next, sometimes they both fail together. And what’s even worse, if you turn on anti icing the power draw from right engine is modeled!!!

Heres a video of engine failure at 2,000m, right before landing.

We just need the Pitot tube icing to be removed until the Pitot heat switch is ready, that would be reasonable.

And the engine icing effect. I would just be worried if that is more of a core thing to do with the engines being identical to Ka-50 that may be harder to program/code then a simple trigger. As I’m sure everyone wants. The solution everyone wants the quickest is to have anti icing actual prevent icing. And to have pitot heat actual heat the pitot. Have to keep relying in doppler for approximate speed, and even then Lu have to stay below 3,000m AGL or it won’t work!

Please add a track replay showing the scenario on Caucasus if possible. 

We are currently working on electrical issues related to the anti-ice system. 

thank you

I recorded one in the caucuses during one of the instant action missions a while ago. Posted it in the BSD (Black Shark Den) bug report excel spreadsheet as bug #16, I believe Lazzy Seal has been working with BSD on it. Here is the Google drive link to the track files. The name of the track is “icing.trk.”  

   You will see that despite having anti icing on it doesn’t prevent power loss after switching the anti icing off toward end of the flight. And that the icing indicator does not function. At end of flight I do a single engine power test per the real world manual using the ECLs. And traditional double engine power check driving the engines below 92% RPM to make the governor force them to max power, showing that the full power is far lower then it was in the beginning of the track, using the EPR gauges to reference engine power. 
 

EDIT: deleted link as I didn’t want to expose BSD excel spreadsheet for bugs to world. I am PMing you with the link Bignewy 

EDIT 2: created my own copy for anyone to view. Here it is https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g4U3LlOx5Av2SqSR3RjosSCUqYbeCGGu/view?usp=drivesdk
