About This File
FSX Icing Gauge (modified from icev10 gauge). This is a replacement XML file for Charles Owen's icev10 gauge. Unfortunately the original has a bunch of problems, which I have fixed by rewriting the XML file. I have also added comments so you can see how the gauge works and maybe add further modifications of your own. This archive does not contain all the files in the original, so you will need that too. (Search for ICEV10.ZIP to find it.) Charles's gauge displays a visual indicator of ice buildup in the cockpit, but more interestingly it also simulates additional icing effects, notably the accumulation of freezing rain and interference with the flight controls (simulating wing and tailplane stalls) when the ice load gets too high. The icev10 simulation doesn't shed freezing rain ice unless you fly out of the freezing conditions, which makes things much more of a challenge. By Mark Hurst.
