Where should I go in ASE in order to magnify the icing effect?Thanks.

I'm not sure ASA, ASE, or AS2012 actually magnifies icing. You will however have more control of the weather Asigning the levels of severity for icing when it does create an icing level. Go into weather options in AS and move the max and min icing level sliders to max. I believe this will allow AS to make any icing layer it creates severe.You can check this by looking into the fsx weather screen after AS creates the weather and look up the assigned icing level.Let us know what you find out.JBSent from my iPhone using TapatalkJB

Thank you. Anyway, if I understand correctly, the visible gauge is important only if you want to know the icing situation visually, so I can put it in the 2D panel then fly in VC and forget about it. I will get ice and its effects as well, won't I?

Sorry I didn't see your post.Yes you are correct, you don't need the gauge to show, it's just there for reference. With the gauge hidden anywhere on the panel, it will still affect the FDE.JB

I posted on the HIFI forums asking if anyone also knew a solution to get better icing effects.Today, one of the avsim members posted a reply on how to modify the ice gauge I was talking about in this thread. His methods to modify the ice gauge will allow one to increase or decrease the threshold at which the gauge starts to simulate serious consequences to structural icing.
