I think I've encountered carb icing recently. Once on the ground. I detected it on the run-up when I applied carb heat. The other two times were while in cruise flight.
All I can say is awesome!

Yes you can get carb icing in the simulation, glad you are liking it.
thanks,

Re: Carb icing?
Any time you see clouds or precip, you need to keep a "weather eye" on the MP gauge. The [H] key is your friend.

Re: Carb icing?
Carb icing does not require visible precipitation. As long as there is a sufficient amount of water vapor in the air, there is a risk of carb icing. This means temps of 60-70F are very high risk.

Re: Carb icing?
And don't forget, all of our icing simulated including the rate of ice buildup was measured in the actual airplane.

Re: Carb icing?
Add in something like AS and it's amazing.
Last week when the temps dipped into the 40s here in Los Angeles I watched power just fade as I climbed.
Leaned the fuel a bit for the cylinder heads and a touch of carb heat and I was fine.
Then I took the C 182 up - "Where is the damned carb heat?" Oh yeah..."

Re: Carb icing?
I had it at PAJN a couple months back. Taxied to RWY 8 and all of the sudden had literally no power to even move lol. Brought in some heat and eventually got moving.
