Talking about warning lights....
...
One of our Sim V Members, many years ago, made a special warning light gauge for me to attach to the Carburettor Heat Knob on my General Aviation aircraft fitted with normally aspirated, carburettor-fitted engines, to warn me when Carburettor Heat is/was applied.
Carburettor Heat requires applying, or not, only under certain known atmospheric and flying conditions.
Other its use wise, or non-use, it can be deadly!
Without its use, the Carburettor venturi can be blocked with ice and create engine failure.
With its use, failure to get air-bourne on take-off can be caused by reduced engine power due to heated air entering the intake manifold affecting the mixture.
Its an automatic safety routine I always apply to all my small GA aircraft, even though it has no actual effect on the "Flight Simulator" aircraft!
A very useful little warning light!...>>>
