C172 Carburetor Heat in Prepar3D

Post by AmeenGuy »

Hello,
I have been trying to send events to Prepar3D for the c172' s carb heat, but the carb heat always seems to be turned on.
I then noticed that there seems to be no carb heat switch on the vehicle's dashboard.

Screenshot of my dashboard:

Where would this be located, or would I need an additional add-on?

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

The engine in the Cessna 172R is fuel-injected, so there's no carburettor and no carb heat. :wink:

Thanks,

Aaannnnndddd.. enormous fun had by instructors when the R first came out by suddenly telling students at 300 feet "You've forgotten carb heat cold".

Don't ask how I know!
