Diplocaulus Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'm wondering if in-flight icing, i.e., carburetor icing, jet inlet icing, wing icing, pitot-static sensor icing, is modeled in any of the ED or licensed third-party aircraft? Coming from a background of general aviation flight sims (MS Flight Simulator, X-Plane), nearly all checklists for example remind the pilot to turn on pitot heat, though I don't see pitot heat referenced much in the DCS World aircraft checklists. I understand that DCS World is first and foremost a sim dedicated to the military applications of aircraft, but alas the extraordinary detail given to their products only makes me hunger for more. :) Windows 10 64bit / Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.30 GHz / 32GB RAM / GeForce GTX 1080 8GB / Dell UltraSharp 27 QHD U2715H 2560x1440 / Saitek X52 Pro Flight System / TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickexists Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I know that engine icing is modeled for the ka50 and mi8, if you are in cold conditions and don't have the deice on then your engines will shutoff. I think I have also experienced pitot icing in the a-10, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cykyrios Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I have experienced pitot icing in the A-10C as well, which made the HUD read 50 knots. I had to turn pitot heating on to get a correct reading a few seconds/minutes later. Not sure about other aircraft, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzles Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Pitot icing is in all the ASM level aircraft as far as I can tell. Carb icing is apparently in the P51 but I've never tested it out. The Mig21 also supports windscreen icing, but according to the developers it's disabled until the visual effects are sorted for DCS 2.0. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!

Tone71 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 The Mig21 also supports windscreen icing, but according to the developers it's disabled until the visual effects are sorted for DCS 2.0. Really? Now that would be cool (excuse the pun).

It's not fair of LNS not to give the pilot access to the de-icer for in flight refuelling ;):drink: :drunk: Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zabuzard Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Mig-21 also has icing implemented. DCS currently lacks of a visual representation but it is implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunburst Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) It gave me problems in the Ka-50 on more then one occasion, when flying in the mountains i always turn on rotor and engine de-ice when temps drop below zero.

msalama Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 To my knowledge most, if not all, DCS-level modules have it. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Mig-21 also has icing implemented. DCS currently lacks of a visual representation but it is implemented. Yeah something IL2 Cliffs of Dover has the windshield will ice up. Hopefully the Defog/Deicer will need to be used in DCSW 2.

Scoggs Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Pitot icing is definitely in the Hog. Yeah, and if anyone wants to test '"forget" to turn on pitot icing and fly up to 15k then dive. Your airspeed will indicate 50kias on the way down. Learned that the hard way more times than I care to admit. Windscreen icing would be nice though. Off topic; does the A-10C simulate any other icing issues? Like inlet or leading edge icing? Or is that something the A-10 just isnt as prone to for some reason.
