September 14, 201510 yr Shana Tova! Great pics... What software are you using to simulate the ice, and does it actually have an impact on braking upon landing? -Bill Busdriver (Bill) KPHL 8086K @5.4GHz, EVGA GTX 1080 TI FTW3, DDR4 16GB @4000MHz, Samsung 970 NVMe (M.2) Windows 10 Pro, Samsung M.2 1TB for P3D V4.5
September 15, 201510 yr Author Busdriver, Thanks for your kind words. Shana tova to you too. FSX has default icy runways if set in winter settings but the screenshots that you see are edited by me using editing software to make the runways more icy. When I landed on Kodiak airport's runway in winter settings, I noticed that the wheels were locked and braked but they kept sliding along the runway. Regards, Aharon
