Daz85UK Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hi Guys, Absolutely love this aircraft! I have a couple of questions:- Is de icing actually required? As in does ice accumulate and affect the aircraft or is purely for "roleplaying" ice conditions? I only ask as I have yet to see ice on the aircraft and never know if I need to actually de-ice or not? 2nd question, I can't seem to find the CG value to enter in the perf data page therefore I dont know how to find out what the correct T/O trim will be, I know the CG field doesnt have to be filled in but how else would I get the correct trim setting? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N330CT Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Take my word for it, its required. You will see it show up on the wings as a haze. At first I thought it was a graphics texture issue. I was wrong and tried to take off......not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastuasi Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Ice does accumulate, but from personal experience, I left my CL60 overnight in a place that had 2 feet of snow fall, no accumulation on it (yes career mode). So no idea how to get it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rastuasi Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 5.0 to 6.0 is what I go with, so long as it's in that range, I just leave it. I am sure there's a more official way, but I have not found any charts to show that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toto and Graeme both say the same thing, and I'm sure they got their information from @CL650Pilot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
