Title: Deicing Future option question??
Post by: Von Rondstadd on December 03, 2014, 07:19:50 pm

Hello,

I love the Deicing update in GSX, excellent work!

I have two questions!

Would it be possible for a future update that the tail section aircraft also get's the treatment??

And would it be possible a second green fluid is used after the first treatment??

See in this movie:

Regards Robert

In a simulator what would be the sense for a second treatament? You risk to stay there and wait for a double time looking what??? The cockpit or the de ice truck doing the same thing twice??? Hope not! ;D

Real world deicing can be done BOTH in one step OR in two steps, they are both equally valid and are both commonly used. We just chose to reproduce the single-step procedure, which makes more sense in a simulator, since it wouldn't make any difference if we just repeated the same animation with just a different color.

If animations lasted 1:1 with reality, they will be simply too boring and would get old very fast. That's why we don't load 300 baggages on a 747...

This has been already discussed here:

It's not really something that makes any difference. The FSX structural deice command, which is what GSX use to deice the airplane, it's just one, for the whole aircraft, so it won't change compared to how it is now.
