I am not an icing expert but feel I know the PMDG B737 pretty well. Flying into PANC and was picking up icing and turned on all that I could but nothing seemed to work. Am I missing something? See pics

When I click that, it says "Album is empty".

You might just have flown into severe icing, which by definition is icing that an airplane's anti-ice and de-ice systems cannot cope with.

Oh let me check that. Thanks!

In well over a decade of flying 737s, much of it in the state of Alaska, I've never seen icing that could overwhelm the thermal anti ice protection.  These pictures look like the windshield heat and engine anti ice weren't on at all.  If you're sure they were, this is definitely a problem on the PMDG side.  I don't remember ever having the PMDG in structural ice in 2020... Haven't tried it in 24, but ice protection on the iFly Max works correctly so it's not purely a sim-ism.

Like I said I am not an expert but never had the issue in 2020 or in 2024 until last night. No failures that I know of it was on and illuminated. Just was wondering if anyone else has had the issue. I will try again tonight and see if I can replicate. Thanks for the comments...
