I was flying the in 172 in snow, beautiful I must say...very realistic at dusk etc... and after a while at fast speeds in the 172 the screen starts slowly vibrating and then getting progressively worse to the point I would get dizzy... like the prop is vibrating the plane to pieces after getting ice? Or airframe icing? dunno... the plane is shaking wildly, but as a slow it diminishes to normal.....unless I speed up again! This effect is only forward in the 3d panel, and not seen from external cams... wow, neat but bizarre! Dunno if that's plausible or not....

Don't know if it's plausible either, computer pilot only. Goran and I have discussed the icing in XPX with regards to an issue I was having with his Beechcraft Duchess. All I can say is that the icing appears to modeled very well in XPX.It will slowly creep up on you if your not careful. I first noticed that the rpms would very slowly start to decrease, to a point where flight would no longer be sustained. In my conversations with Goran (who had been in contact with Austin) he suggested turning on the data outputs for icing which I did, and sure enough, if it was cold enough, and I flew in and around clouds, the numerical data output display for icing would gradually start to increase, and the rpms would slowly start to drop. If I continued on in these conditions, she would get to a point where flight was no longer possible and I would be ditching in the nearest field if lucky. Move away from the clouds, normally below because she wouldn't have the power to get above, and the icing numbers would start to decrease, and the rpms would rise, if I was lucky and caught it it time.Perhaps this is what your seeing, only difference might be that Gorans plane is that much better modelled vs. the default 172, so instead of the shaking, the Duchess starts to loose power in a more controlled manner. I'm just suggesting that, and have no design knowledge to back it up, Goran or one of the other aircraft developers could give a more realistic accurate answer.Glen

Back around 1999, there was a flight simulator that modelled icing, as well as real bad weather, with fronts, great wind effects... Do any of you remember?

I'm impressed with this icing effect in XP10 too! I was taking off in Alaska with snow in the Carenado Bonanza and in one minute I stalled and crashed! amazing and fast. Really nice effect!Alex

the sim was in 2000, and was flight unlimited III - I was the lead designer of it!now I am just a simmer for fun, and for career as I justify my addiction to keep me safe in the real Beechjet 400A I pilot for a busy charter company!

Ah! You plyaed it too ;-) I still do !!!! FU3 of course.... THE SIM!
