  1. So we've been hard at work at implementing a custom icing simulation & rendition. Everything dynamic and done via shaders, of course. Depiction of severe icing encounter. Inboard boot just inflated, so inboard leading edge is flaky as the ice flew off in chunks. Notice the ice isn't just a surface effect, it appreciably increases the thickness of the wing, as there are several inches of packed ice in this image: The jagged leading edge in the following screenshot is due to ice crystal growth. This is what makes the wing stop behaving like a wing and instead gives it the refined aerodynamic qualities of a brick: Any exposed sharp edges and point-like structures are prime ice accumulation space: Including wing leading edges, strakes, exposed antenna housings and flap fairings: While stationary on the ground, ice also tends to accumulate on the fuselage:

  2. https://www.virtualnorwegian.net/pirep/145926/ Was hoping to beat the 5hr mark across the pond, winds were great today, track U eastbound, 143kts tail wind, CI 100 and Mach .77 and a pretty light load. 2.5 hrs worth of fuel left as well! Another first I have to try is the KPVD to Bergen, a bit risky but should be quite easy with winds like today. Was tempted to land the opposite way at Shannon but that would be highly unprofessional! No attempt being made at the return flight until the winds calm down

  3. My issue was solved by updating to the newest version of the plugin. Works great now! Thanks Igor!

  4. Angle of Bank is not user adjustable in the Saab. You can simply use the standard X-Plane keystrokes or assign those same commands to buttons to move the lever up and down.

  5. You know what Jan your right, I can't because this is THE most immersive aircraft I've ever flown on a simulator, not even PMDG or FSLabs got their sounds & camera system as close as this. I do hope you will finish the plane soon though.
