December 7, 20205 yr With the wacky workings of live weather....going up through a cloud layer where the temp is "forcasted" to be well above freezing, and although the OAT was near 0, this was the result. Then this morning....going up through a similar looking overcast, temp and forecast....this stunning view when I broke out: Hope we can get reliable weather conditions and forecasting...The sim is so awesome otherwise for environmental depiction. The screen above about took my breath away when I broke out on top!

Love the second picture. In real life the airflow over the airframe can result in icing at temps above zero. We had to use engine anti icing in conditions of high humidity at +4 degrees or below. From memory the highest risk was the band from +4 to - 7, typically encountered on winter takeoffs. At much lower temps the air holds less moisture, though icing can still be a problem in clouds with a lot of vertical air movement. Edited December 7, 20205 yr by Biggles2010 John B

Yeah that 2nd pic blew me away when I punched through the overcast. Agree and it was about +4 or +5 if I recall. Should have not risked it and would never in real life...but then again I could count on the weather being accurate in the real world. 🙂 Still a blast to fly in this sim though. 🙂 Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
