When I press the Keyboard H key the Prop-Anti ice switch on the panel toggles ON.

Is this correct?

I do not have the MilViz B55, but I think the B55 they modeled has fuel injected engines, so the only anti-icing systems it would need would be prop and wing/tail surface anti-icing.

Hi Vaughan,

 

I assume it's by design. Works that way on mine as well, thought I'd never noticed, because... if you have the latest patch, there's no need to turn on carb heat on the B55 as the plane automatically works around the "carb heat bug".

 

Stan, if you weren't aware there's a long standing issue in FSX with carb icing still occurring on fuel injected planes despite them obviously having no carburetor. The workaround has always been to turn the (non-existent) carb heat on with the "h" key for the (non-existent) carb. :-) That workaround is not needed for the B55.

Scott,

 

Thanks for confirming.

I just bought the Baron from Milviz in the recent sale.. I assume since it came from them it is the latest SP?... Two flights this weekend, I lost manifold pressure and had to emergency land. Assume Carb Heat was the issue.. before my flight this afternoon, I hit H and my flight went ok. I would prefer a switch if it's not patched.. but wondering how to tell if it is patched.

 

Sorry first post.. been lurking a lil bit since I joined.. Great site!

You must hit up the forums for support. See sig for how.

 

Thanks.
