Overhead Panel anti-ice switches. question

[Guest]

I was watching the Polar and Atlas DVDs for the thousandth time, great dvds from justplanes.I noticed the overhead panel of the 744F shown in the movie was different than the pax version we are lucky to fly in the game. is this a change between the freighter and pax variants?The anti-ice switch has 3 positions. Off, auto, and on.And on the aircraft we fly now, if I do not activate the switch, is it in the auto position?Thanks,

You'll have this version of the switches in the 400F update...

Thank you very much for the reply. My credit card is ready!So regarding the switches in the pax version now, if I do not touch them, are they in auto?

In our current version of the 744, you have to manually activate thermal anti-ice whenever the conditions conducive to icing exist. These conditions are detailed in the manual. At least they give us something to do! :-)Hope this helps.Regards,Bjorn
