Just found out on the DC-3. It stalled. Only solution is not to use real weather in the winter.

Ground de-icing and anti-icing services would be a very natural and immersive addition to Career Mode, especially with seasons already implemented.
In real aviation, winter operations are impossible without proper de-icing. Adding this as a career mechanic would improve realism and decision-making without requiring full hardcore simulation.
Suggested implementation:
-
Optional “Request De-Icing” service before departure in cold weather
-
Costs money and takes time
-
Skipping de-icing could lead to penalties (performance loss, safety rating impact, mission failure risk)
-
Simple visual animation is sufficient; full fluid simulation is not required
This feature would:
-
Add meaningful winter-specific gameplay
-
Tie together weather, seasons, economy, and safety
-
Make ground operations feel more complete and realistic
Career Mode already has the foundations - de-icing would be a logical next step.
