Icing in Microsoft Flight Simulator

i dont think i have ever encountered icing in FSX

I've encountered it often on aircraft like the A2A B-377
and a few others with ice warning indicators. Switching on
the anti-ice systems prevented any adverse flight characteristics.
However, with the A2A P47D, there is only a prop deice
capability. When I've encountered airframe icing I've
had severe control issues until I got lower or crawled
high enough to exit the area of ice formation.

So,it may very well depend upon how accurate the
systems are simulated for a given aircraft as to whether
you would notice icing at all. With A2A 'Accusim' aircraft
you WILL notice it....

Make a folder named "ICE" and copy the XML and BMPs into this folder.
Move the folder into your Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\SimObject Creation Kit\Cabdir SDK directory and move it on top of the cabdir.exe so that a ICE.cab file will be created.
Move the new cab file into your main gauges folder.
Then you can add the gauge to your panel - i made the registration label smaller and i placed the gauge aside (2D and VC).

EDIT: from my C172 panel.cfg:

[Window00]
gauge45=n_number_plaque!n_number_plaque, 210,387,48,19
...
gauge48=ICE!IceWarning, 258,387,29,18

[Vcockpit01]
gauge19=n_number_plaque!n_number_plaque, 188,469,68,20
...
gauge22=ICE!IceWarning, 255,470,29,18

But reading the txt is the more important part.
 
Nice tip there JT8D-9A, I didnt know you could drag n drop with the cabdir.exe, I've been useing the command prompt to use it.
