hey guy's, just was wondewring where or if the PIC panel has a button to turn on the Pitot heat? I was fying out of PANC the other day in FS, and it got below -20 in climb out, with some clouds, and i thought, how do i turn on the Pitot Heat, so i can get correct Airspeed reading's? Just wanted ti know, if the PIC 767 panel had a button to turn this on?? or do i have to go by my keyboard assignment? Since i did not see an option for this on the PIC panel, or am i just blind? LOL, Thank's MIKE-:)

From the 767 PIC FAQ:http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/efpanels/767PIC/767PICfaq.htm"When flying in clouds, my airspeed indicator goes to zero and the A/T applies maximum power. It appears that we overlooked the pitot heat option when we created all these complex systems. In the real plane, there are no switches for pitot heat. This is handled automatically when the engines are running. For an update, we will create the appropriate EICAS messages if pitot heat is not on. We will also make pitot heat default to ON when the engines are running. In the meantime, please use the "Shift-H" command (or the FS menu) to turn on the heat."And from the 767 Pilot in Command Update 1.1 Manual; page 2General Systems- Application of PITOT HEAT is now automaticIn other words, starting with the release of the 1.1 upgrade for 767 PIC back in 2001, pitot heat is ON by default.
