Simviation Forums

Well I take-off from MMMY and head towards MMTC. It

what altitude were you flying at, or attempting to fly at?

I was cruising at 8,500ft. I descended to 6,500ft after the first trouble.

Ice?

Yeap, I went straight through a snow storm.

Does RealAir simulate ice effect in the SF-260?

it should simulate it for all craft.  I have NEVER experienced 'ice effect' on any craft even if i set the temp to -40F and fly at FL800 (80,000 feet AGL).

Just a thought.  The RA Duke has this problem.  Even though the airplane is fuel injected, FSX is still simulating Carb icing.  You have to hit H and the engine comes back to life even though there is no carb, as a work around.

Apply carburator heat to a fuel injected engine? Wow, how real can it get

I took a closer look a the cockpit instruments and found an "Engine alternate air" knob which is the equivalent of a carburator heat in a fuel injected engine.

I other words, the engine alternate air is for the FI engine what the carburator heat is for the carburated engine.

I clicked on that knob and no more problems.

Let that be a lesson to you!
