After twenty years of using FS9 it can still surprise!
Today I was flying the Piper 23 Apache twin from Puerto Rico (TJFA) to Punta Cana (MDPC) in the Dominican Republic; at approx 8000’ when I entered clouds the aircraft iced up, I have often encountered icing in the form of a freezing pitot (the indicated airspeed gauge drops to 0 Kts) but this is the first time I have seen a visual representation:
after fumbling about in the panel I found the de-ice switch (the small switch to the right of the fuel gauges):
some 45 seconds after switching the de-ice on the aircraft lost the ice:
I suppose I should not have been too surprised as when the Apache is parked and engines are off it has an animation of a dog wagging it’s tail and chasing a red bird:
I could not find who the designer is. But whoever it is a big thank you from me as it is a very nice flying model. Although a nicer panel would not go amiss. JGF maybe?
