• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Visible ice

I want to make icing visible on the structure of an aircraft using tick18 parts and an XML script. My problem is that I don't know if there's a <variable> in FS9 that indicates if icing is present or not. Can anyone point me to the right direction?
 
Hi Folks

Alexis -
Use this forum's search tool,
as IIRC someone's already done this.
It was possibly for FSX,
but should give some pointers.

Hi
Prob not what your after but this is teh code I used iin my mustang project to model the canopy frosting up
2d controller gauge just load into the vccockpit section of the panel.cfg somewhere

<Gauge Name="its cold" Version="1.0">
<Element>
<Select>
<Value>(A:AMBIENT TEMPERATURE,number) 258 &lt; if{ (L:frost,number) 1 &lt; if{ 1 (>L:frost,bool) } }
els{ (L:frost,number) 0 &gt; if{ 0 (>L:frost,bool) } }</Value>
</Select>
</Element>
</Gauge>


the part code
<part>
<name>frost_temp</name>
<animation>
<parameter>
<code>(L:frost,bool) 1024 * </code>
<lag>5</lag>
</parameter>
</animation>
</part>

this was applied to a flat polly with a glass material and a frosty texture on it that slowly creeped up(reason for max kf) as the temp dropped
not great but for a frosting effect on the canopy worked fine
