Flying the 185 yesterday (pre-patch) I noticed I was starting to build ice and lose power, so I figured Id try out the carb heat (knowing full well that it's fuel injected and shouldn't actually make a difference) but sure enough it did the trick and my MP began to rise back to normal. Now my question is, since installing the latest patch I'm still running into icing problems, yet this time there's no carb heat control to fix it. So is there any way to disable this effects so I don't run into this problem anymore? I shouldn't be having simulated carb ice in a fuel injected engine, granted there is still induction system icing but I'm doubting this is what's causing the problem. Anyone else experiencing this? Any help greatly appreciated, Thanks! Ty89m (Looks as though I've forgotten how to spell :( Correction, Still losing power)

Yeah, I'm thinking this is as much as anything, an FS issue, and it's a bad one. First of all, carb icing is modelled extremely badly by MS (I know, I've had a for-real forced landing because of carb icing, and it doesn't behave at all like it does in FS). I have been looking for a way to disable carb icing completely, even in machines with carbs because of how badly it's designed (in real life you never get carb icing when it's much below zero, and it's worst when the temps are around +10C/50F, and MS modelled this backwards). So yeah, if anyone here knows how to disable this feature for all aircraft, I'd like to know the answer as well.For now, hitting the "H" key will apply carb heat even if you don't have a knob to tug on, which should fix the problem temporarily at least. Glad you brought this up, it's been bugging me too.

Hi all,I just wanted to add my two cents in this thread ... Today I flew the Seneca and encountered icing. Even though the Seneca is also fuel injected, I had to use the carb heat key (which was programmed in my CH Yoke anyway) to fix the matter. Here's hoping a fix may be down the road for this.Cheers,Mike T.

Hi guyswell I had the same problem today flying the PNW with the the cessna 185F.It recovered when I descended to lower altitude but when in the climb it happened again.David DD

Do you guys have the latest updates for the 185? If not, that may be the issue, but if so, we'll look into it from our end and see. If it's in the cfg or the air file, we can fix it. If it's in the mdl file (very doubtful) then we can't do much about that. That would be up to Carenado to fix that.Thanks, let me know... .Glenn

G'day,I am using the latest FDE's from Bernt and Glenn for the 185 and try as I might I can not get it to ice up. What altitude were you at? Maybe it's a question of the weather engine? I am using REX for a weather engine and I have tried it with the default "real weather" in FSX and nothing happens. I have all the options enabled vis

Concerning carb heat. In the cfg the engine is set as fuel injected, and in the airfile the crab heat is FALSE.So it 'should' not happen. I'll do some further testing...but so far I haven't experienced any problems with the FSX default weather engine.BTW, as I ran into troubles with the Super Cub due to the brakestand 'gauge', I interrupted my work and started working on the Sibwings L-19. Very nice already :)

Bernt,Your killing me softly Bernt, but the BirdDog needs RW specs...she is a Beauty... Patience will the PA-18, that's the one that needs to be perfect... :( an accu-simular SuperCub

Yep, the L-19 is really nice....BTW the new FDEs are already very nice. Will send them to you ASAP.An accusim Super Cub might be nice. I have to install the FR J-3 today and compare it to the A2A version (and most probably make new FDEs)I only bought the A2A J-3 because everyone posts how realistic and immersive it is.Accu-sim is a nice idea, but I was surprised how for from the real J-3 the most important part is, the flight model. Flies like a wet sponge :(Apart from the Accu-sim part I think the FR version will be hard to match.

This may be a little late on the subject, but the cure is very simple and realistic. On all fuel injected aircraft I have flown, the air intake will accumulate ice/snow and restrict the flow of air into the engine. These aircraft all had alternate air intakes. It would seem that Carenado could model the "alternate air intake" to react the same as presssing the "H" on the keyboard. These are good FSX models that are about as close as FS will allow.Bill
