Icing in XP?

Recommended Posts

How is it modeled?  I'm flying the Carenado Bonanza A36 and I'm obviously getting some sort of ice.  However, I'm losing manifold pressure too.  Why is this happening?  I understand carb ice but I've never flown a fuel injected plane.  I imagine the ice is blocking something...  Do you XPers feel the icing modelling is realistic or is it overdone?  In FSX it's underdone imho.  Also does prop heat in the Carenado actually do anything?  I get a low bus warning when I turn it on.  

 

All my failures are set to "Always Working."

Nevermind... I finally found the alternate air knob....  I'm guessing the main air intake was blocked.

 

Decent icing modeling!

 

I also found this great link:

Carb icing in XP is way overdone. I'll take the underdone model..... If having to choose between the two. If I can get my main CPU for replies to Avsim, instead of this IPhone, I'd give more details.
