Don't want to use the Defrost

Post by ludo1426 »

Hello,

Making a Home cockpit, I don't have any Switch that can be used for the Defrost. Can I stop this function because I have my Windshield full of condensation and I don't want to zoom to the Defrost Switch each time...

Thank you

Why not just keep it open? The position of the defroster is saved between sessions on my A2A aircraft.

Also consider opening a window or door pre engine start. It is realistic to get fogging if the cockpit is buttoned up with people inside.

Worst case, use the Shift-3 menu to opiate the defroster.

Thank you for your answer. When I clic on "Shift 3" the Menu appear and desappear... Do you have any idea or solution ?

You could start by checking that the 2-D panel transparency hasn't been set to 100% accidentally. If you give us a bit more info on your host sim platform, it'll help with troubleshooting stuff like this.

Sounds like we're in for one groovy flight man! Or perhaps your auto-correct has been on the opiates again Oracle? I just hope you never turn it off. :lol: :mrgreen: :lol:

The last post was definitely not typed on my smartphone. I should have proofread it before clicking Submit.

Not good considering that I write lots and lots of documentation for a living. :)

I don't think there's any shame in letting one's editorial standards slip just a bit for hastily-typed forum posts. I generally submit them then notice a mistake or two which I try to sneakily correct before anyone notices! :P
