imo yes something is wrong with de ice, tried as mentionned above, having a cabin temp over 36°C and no de ice effect, l think it s bugged
we spoke about it last month, suggest you this workaround , unfortunately I did not invest much more time to deeply understand how the anti ice code works
NiKoTin3420:
on the system.cfg, at
structural_deice_rate= - 0.00128
windshield_deice_rate= - 0.002227
compared to other aircraft cfg, many use higher (like default caravan has 0.25) values and positive, tried with 0.25 it was definitly too strong but windshield deice switch appear to work , trying actually only removing the minus sign “-”
the W / S switch properly clean the windshield from frost, so for those flying a lot in severe icing condition it may be a good workaround
I can’t say how other de frost system affect really this process, I have to do several test and find a way to measure their effectivness
to conclude I m totally newbie on this kind of stuffs maybe it has been set so to simulate a over icing issues due to the de-ice fluid being counter productive if set too late, that s could be why there is a negative value …
asked JD is opinion on this, maybe does he knows other variable or part of the aircraft files affecting the way it works or could he give me more hint
will keep you inform if I found a perfect value working fine with various deicing setting
