fdski Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 playing yesterday on 4YA server. Two of us, two flights, same thing happened each time. Flew up to 5km or so. dove on bogeys - Altimeter and Speed indicator freeze up. All circuit breakers are in, so heating on pitot tube should work. In one of the flights mine "unstuck" after i dove down, but on second flight, it did not despite flying low for quite some time. So I'm not sure if this relates to freezing or not... What did we miss ? I couldn't find anything in manual. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool-Hand Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I don't think pitot heat works on any of the warbirds currently. I get it on multiple aircraft and even when in clear air where icing isn't present. I don't think you did anything wrong, just the modelling has been lacking there for a long time.

fdski Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 I refuse to believe that everyone flying anton loses all their instruments on each flight and i'm the first to ask about it.... there must be a better explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I haven't had it happen in the Anton, but I have had it happen in the Spit a long time ago. One thing I noticed in the Anton is that the probe heat lamp on the left of the dash only ever illuminates when connected to ground power. I haven't tried an engine start with ground power on, but I wonder if that could activate the probe heat and serve as a workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Strange, last few flights I've done the light never illuminated. I had all CBs in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michal Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I usually fly on PO server in Anton (or in Dora) and my friend in K4. Why is Anton affected the most by freezing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lixma 06 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Bump for this - the A8 pitot heater is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
