January 23, 201016 yr In the MD do the anti ice protection operate automatically or do I need to click them on. I ran into an icing problem in FS9 usin REX2.0 and I started losing altitude. So I manually placed all anti ice prtection and but I wasnt sure if this was really necessary. I imagine it was due to loss of altitude.ThanksAndrew DeLaney Andrew
January 23, 201016 yr Company policies vary, but it is always a good idea to use ice protection when visible moisture is present and the temps are +5C to -10C or icing is visible. Dan Downs KCRP
January 25, 201016 yr Not automatic...You need to operate the switches manually on the overhead panel above the F/O, in cases of visible moisture and temp range as Dan suggested...Don't forget the screen anti-icing too...If you have the JS41 in FSX, check out icing and effect of anti-icing there...Andrew Andrew Entwistle
January 25, 201016 yr Turn the ignition override (OVRD ON) when using anti-ice by the way. It's next to the ignition B button and marked OVRD with a cicrle around it above the button. Lower left of the overhead panel. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired

In the sense that I don't know why and would like to learn, not that I don't agree with you :( Gavin Barbara Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)
January 26, 201016 yr Commercial Member This is for GE powered aircraft, perhaps someone can give some info on the PW'sGE powered aircraft must haveEngine ignition selected to OVRDON while Anti Ice is onGE powered aircraft must haveENG IGN OVRD selected on,ECON switch selected off, andENG, WING and TAIL Anti Iceswitches selected on prior to thrustreduction for the descent if icingconditions are anticipated during thedescent.Regardless of whether or not an ICEDETECTED alert is displayed, antiice must be selected on if icingconditions are encountered duringthe descent with GE engines.Regards Rob Prest
January 26, 201016 yr Why? In the sense that I don't know why and would like to learn, not that I don't agree with you :(Ignition Override switch is turned on to give power to both ignition systems simultaneously along with the engine start switches to allow starter assissted in-flight starts in case of an engine failure. You would also turn on the ignition override when entering areas of severe turbulence, heavy rain, or hail.Kevin W.
January 26, 201016 yr also it is called ANTI ice, not DE-ICE. So it is supposed to be turned on before entering icing conditions Sometimes addon weather adds unrealistic icing conditions that even the anti icing systems can't fix. The registered version of fsuipc fixes thisAlex
