I noticed that every now and then I suddenly get the anti-ice flow presented. Now I never really knew when to use anti-ice or not so this option that FS2Crew adds is nice! I simply only use anti-ice when FS2Crew shows me that flow! Easy!

 

I was wondering though: can I rely FS2Crew completely on this...? The anti-ice flow is only there during preparation: I can imagine doing a flight where anti-ice would be necessary only during approach... I suppose FS2Crew won't help me there?

 

I understand the anti-ice system in FSX and the 737 NGX is not very detailed, meaning you won't notice a big difference if you don't use it at all... Still, it would be nice to actually use it at times when it's appropriate.

Ice is covered quite well in both fs9 and FSX. But it depends on the modeller whether it done correctly or at all. If they have created a gauge that correctly senses it and adjusted the air file then you can have "ice detected" light, medium or severe and also the difference between rime ice and clear ice.
