De-Icers
Bruce Hamilton:
There is, it's called AES. ;D
streichholz:
I can wait for the De-Icing system. GSX works on every airport and works perfect on FSDT and flightbeam airports.
De-Icing would be great if it wouldn't be at the parkingposition like AES.
Would it be possible to choose the runway in the menu and the De-Icing is waiting for you on the right position? (just asking, no requirement)

Don't know how they intend on doing the de-icing, given that I'm aware of de-icing being done in one of two ways. The first I've heard of is de-icing done somewhere by the departure runway. The other that I have personally experienced is de-icing being done by the gates. I've seen this happen at Des Moines and at Chicago O'Hare when I flew United in 2009.

We are working on De-Icing right now and, it will be made as an additional service at the parking spot, but not as a separate menu.
When you ask for departure clearance and pushback IF there's ice on the airplane or there's a risk of ice formation (checking weather, clouds and outside temp), a warning just before pushback will ask you if you want to call a de-ice service. If you reply Yes, the deicers will come and will deice your airplane, using the appropriate procedure in either two steps (de-icing first and anti-icing next with different fluids), or in a single step.
After de-icing is done, you'll be able to continue the pushback.
This will be the standard service. As an additional feature, that will require a specific airport customization, we'll have some de-icing structures (either using hot fluids or infrared technology) at dedicated positions in the airport. This could possibly work both on our own airports, but also on 3rd party airports that already feature such structures in a non-working way, without any need to be supported by the scenery developer.
