Gradually lost engine power because applying to much power?

No, carb icing does still occur in FSX with fuel injected aircraft. It's a quirk.
Blame Microsoft.

That may be true for stock aircraft, but it would really surprise me if A2A didn't program their software around that quirk. Unless, of course, what Esa says.

I'm not sure why you feel the need for such high RPM in the cruise. Use your propeller control a bit more. A constant speed prop will vary it's pitch depending on rpm and manifold pressure, so at a low (still in the green arc) setting, it's still taking big chunks of air at a higher (again, still in the green arc) throttle setting, and you get less noise and engine wear. I typically cruise the 182 at 23in MAP and 2100RPM with the mixture set 100 degrees lean of peak EGT. This gives a good cruise speed and passable range. If you want to warm the engine up a little more, set your mixture to peak EGT. That will give you a little less speed, but greater range.

As to icing, what was dew point temperature and air temp?? You get icing when the 2 are close.


Hope this helps,
Mike

I normally cruise at around 2100 RPM but I increased it to 2500 when I noticed a decrease in power.
