Ok have not tried any of those in icing. The 'best' plane it seems for ice depiction is the stock TBM. It is/was the poster child for the sim at launch, so that may have something to do with it. The stock King Air 350 also.

With that being said, have not seen 'leading edge ice' per se on anything either. Just the white 'splotches' that disappear when hitting the boots, and the same stuff you see on windshield shows behind the boots, on the top of wing.

Pretty frustrating for anyone who has flown in icing conditions and knows what it looks like and how it presents.

I see literally nothing on leading edges not even a splotches.. Before I used to get iced up like an icecream cake LOL Asobo went from overdone it to under done LOL

They do that a lot. Lightning, Icing, Turbulence, Thermals. They throttle it up to 1000%, get feedback that it's excessive, and turn it off or way down pending review.

Seriously. Have not seen ANY lighting, barely any turbulence or thermals (but DO see erratic wind that accompanies it on final).

There's a lightning storm happening in the south pacific right now. I was also seeing plenty of it during the hurricane season in the caribbean.

I'm trying right now KALB- KSLC. Got some rain and temperature below zero, still no leading edge ice 😞

What are you flying, and at what altitude?

Must be something with that aircraft. I get icing in the DC6 and if I remember correctly, the C 310 too.

Not super recent. I did that soon after SU14 launched. It was somewhere over the Pacific Northwest. I was actually testing icing at the time and the conditions were just right for it. I took a while for the wings to start getting iced up.

I did another test.  I verified that icing is "on".  I took off from PABR at the northern tip of Alaska in the default A36.  Right after takeoff, I had a tiny bit of visual icing on the side windows!  Strangely, it was gone in no time. 

I turned on the autopilot and cruised at various altitudes.  After a bit, I suddenly lost power and basically fell from the sky.  I hit pause and went to an external view, and I could not find a bit of ice on the plane, but clearly MSFS2020 was simulating it on the airframe (a lot of it).  Clearly, I have icing, but can hardly see it (it was there a moment on the window, which was weird).  If it wasn't icing, I have no idea why the sudden loss of power.  Just the default A36, not the Blacksquare version.

Yah real world that white splotch would have been uniform down the wing, and you'd see ice accumulation on the tip of the nose wheel pant and spinner tip as well

Hopefully in 2024 will see realistic icing. 

 

 

I figure out with some FSS help how to get ice on the airplane. As soon as I turn on developer mode ice show up!

If you had a loss of power it could be carburator icing. Icing on the wing/fuselage will not lead to a loss of power, but it will (or at least should) reduce lift and increase drag.
