April 10, 201313 yr The recent blizzard that came through denver got me thinking. Does anyone know of a program that simulates De-icing on the ramp? For example you pull up to the deicing pad and a truck pulls up and deices you. I feel like this would be a really cool addon! Thoughts anyone? :lol:
April 10, 201313 yr AES might. Maybe GSX will add it in the future. Some airports do. Sunskyjet PHL does, a the Canadian Simaddons airports too, YHZ anyway. Check AES and look to se if FSDT is talking about it for GSX Be interested to know anything else Lee
April 10, 201313 yr Moderator I think Umberto as FSDT said the de-icers might make the next GSX update. Hopefully in time for winter when we will need them again, unless of course you fly in the southern hemisphere. Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
April 10, 201313 yr FS2Crew for the PMDG NGX simulates deicing procedures for the pilots, but I don't think there is any visual aspect. Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk HD Shane Gavin
April 10, 201313 yr AES has it for sure , but not every airports I have PANC and Helsinki and i now for sure these 2 airports have them you have to ask ATC to taxi you to the correct Place and then from there switch FRQ and call them out ,, but there is special times when they work According to bad weather Not I have not tried it out yet Just Like every one els i get Busy loading the Aircraft and by the time i am taxing to my RWY i remember :( ,, But i did read it in the Manual and how the procedure goes when i first Purchased these 2 airports Hop this Helps,, i will give it a shot today since we are talking about the subject and i will update you if you Like .. I am certain almost 80% of the mega Aerosoft Airports have De Icing Happy Landings Firas Salim"The joy of being is the joy of being conscious. Uploaded with ImageShack.us
April 10, 201313 yr AES has de-icing at the ramp.. Would be cool if they made it so you could request it when you wanted it instead..
April 10, 201313 yr AES needs certain settings to show the de-icing option: Season (hard winter) and weather (temperatures). With those conditions in mind it should work for every AES-equipped and AES-activated airport. The AES manual is freely available just as the AES base pack (no obligation to buy AES credits). You can try out the whole AES (including de-icing) for free for an unlimited time at the "demo airport" Nuremberg (EDDN). GSX will probably catch up with de-icing and I prefer GSX over AES but since you were asking ... EDIT: My name is Oliver but I'm not Oliver Pabst (AES developer) ... What happened to AVSIM
April 10, 201313 yr Well my Friend it worked and i took Pictures but i have to run ,, i will try to upload Pictures as soon as i can i tested it at EFHK Helsinki with AES Firas Salim"The joy of being is the joy of being conscious. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

April 10, 201313 yr I have FSDTs LSZH Zurich and there are animated deicing trucks. Can't prove it with screenshots right now, though:0)
April 10, 201313 yr Author Wow al1234 thoes are pretty cool!, pretty much exactly what I was looking for, I wonder how well GEX will simulate it?
April 11, 201313 yr I don't think so, because the deicing isn't part of the GSX menu. It comes with the airport, but since it's the same developer I can imagine it'll be part of GSX at some point.
April 11, 201313 yr Author I hope thats the case because I would love to have that available at all the airports I visit rather than a select few
