Exactly this, maybe some flowback on the wing slightly passed the leading edges but definitely not on side of fuselage, tail, etc.

Thank you very much for the information! 
So, If we put ice only on a front nose part, wings/stabilizer edge is this correct? How about Windshield?

look at the 1 minute mark for windshield icing

Thank you for the video!
We still testing possible Windshield icing animation.

Does the SDK allow for where the icing appears? Can the icing be âmaskedâ off in areas you would nort want it to appear? I donât think Iâve seen a single other plane where icing on side windows does not occur, and in fact appears at the same rate as leading edge surfaces, and the wind screen.

Yes it possible to put ICE at any place you want and even control when and where ICE will appear first. But we are not able to put a good ICE effect on a windshield yet.

guys, how about speed limitation for ice? porter is not very fast bird, and thatâs may be off topic, but i heard ice wouldnât create ever if ac go fast enough, is it possible to modelling?(speed depending of icing)

We donât have any SDK controls over speed and icing.

thatâs not right 
why?
Probably if airplane has any airspeed this is enough to form an ice and Humidity and Temperature the main factors.
i remember opposite, at high speed ice not appear because can not forming when flight fast enough

I donât think the Porter could be classified as âhigh speedâ.

absolutely, thatâs why i said it probably off topic, so question about other craft

Ice can form on any aircraft at any speed if the conditions for ice accumulation are there⊠other than limiting exposure by going through ice conditions faster (as in âshorter durationâ) speed has very little impact

i donât know, just said what heard in some video, i remember general is was unusual situation, authors say that, because ice was appear at high speed, but as they said, normal situation - ice can not forming at high speed, they talking about 0.4m+ as i remember, not hyper sonic for sure afaik after some speed 1.5 or 2.5 everything become warm, video was about some big civilian like airbus or boeing accident, and there was ice and that was unusual as they said, because mentioned condition
Does icing have an effect on performance in MSFS or is it only a visual effect?
I believe the poster means aircraft performance, not Frame rate performance.
Ice adds weight and drag, ruining airfoil lift. Iâm pretty dang sure thatâs simulated and isnât just visual.
