Hi All!
I have a question. Since day one when I started using Bravo the Anti Ice light is on and stays on until I turn on the pitot heat on - then the light goes off. Was it supposed to work this way? Is your working the same way?
Why I ask is that I got used to having this light go on when i turn on the pitot heat (in a real Tecnam P2002-JF).
Thanks for your support!
BR,
Martin
Works the same way here. And I think it’s logical…a warning sign that lights in order to be solved…by putting pitot heat on…

OK Thanks pilotakaa!
Seems the logic is different here than what I am used to, but that’s fine, I am glad it’s not only me seeing this logic on the Bravo.
How do you like Bravo anyway? For me after correcting some bugs it works fine, just the 1st lever seems to have a bit different friction/behavior than the other 5.
Cheers,
Martin

I think Honeycomb ended up setting the anti-ice as as Boolean 0 valve
Within the BFC_Throttle file, what I have to fix the ant-ice
{
“ByteIndex”: 3,
“BitIndex”: 2,
“Condition”: “A:PITOT HEAT, bool”,
“ConditionValue”: “=1”
},

Hi! This worked well and the ANTI ICE is now working the way I was used to = light turns on when the pitot heat is on. This is perfetct, thanks for the tip!!!

Hi, re the coding to make the anti ice work correctly in the AFC-Bridge, (EG anti ice light comes on when pitot is turned on) - please would you be kind enough to give me the amendment I need to make in the afc config file?? I’d greatly appreciate it. Also could you confirm it is the config file within the afc bridge folder sitting in the community folder? Thanks in advance.
a) it is the config file within the afc bridge folder
b) the file itself is editable via notepad or notepad++, the only thing that needs to be done is to open the up the file, do a search for “Byte Index”: 3, “Bit Index”: 2
by then adding the above code (in my earlier posting), it cause the AFC Bridge to monitor the flight sim variable “A:PITOT Heat, bool” for either an on or off state (bool is short hand for “Boolean”). Since the goal is to turn on the pitot heat annunciator light when the switch is in the on position, this code is having the AFC Bridge monitor for when the switch is in the ON position (i.e. “ConditionValue”: “=1”)
Funny enough though, within a real 172, there is no annunciator light for “Pilot Heat”
I did end writing a more verbose explanation (base upon some finding within the xml files from last year) that if you wanted to assign an annunciator light, as long as you can find the variable to trigger it, you can customize the bridge file,Honeycomb Bravo LED Fix...(MS Store) - #17 by monkiesandtools)
That’s very kind of you to further explain and give me some more clarity. May I please ask though (as I’m not a coder and only have a basic grasp) when I open up the config file and find the anti ice bool line, where exactly do I paste -
{
“ByteIndex”: 3,
“BitIndex”: 2,
“Condition”: “A:PITOT HEAT, bool”,
“ConditionValue”: “=1”
},
What should that section actually look like? Do I paste the whole of the above and is there anything to delete in the config file as it stands? Sorry for my basic grasp, but I’d really like to get this right and I appreciate your assistance. Thanks in advance again.

the coding for anti ice show be the sixth grouping from the bottom of the file
just replace that sixth grouping (including the opening and closing “{”, “}” brackets) and save. When you open up a flight session, as long as you have pitot heat on, it should turn on within a second or so
Thanks very much, that’s really appreciated.
This was Very helpful!
Having the Anti Ice light on annoyed me since i want lights on to mean something is on or wrong…LOL
Thank You
does this work in 2024?
The same fix for pitot light works in 2024.
thanks bro!
