  1. The Previous Thread no longer worked, but this one should be okay. https://www.msfsaddon.com/2021/01/msfs2020-disable-all-planes-windshield.html
  2. With some help of friends on another website, I was directed to this link to solve the problem of how to Deice windshield in the Beech Bonanza G36. It works like a charm with out any other additions. Just read the article below and follow the instructions. It works in other planes as well. Its so simple. I regret I just finished flying around Finland, Sweden and Norway when this became known to me. https://www.flightsimulator.blog/2021/01/10/disable-windshield-icing-effect/ Hope you enjoy it - Kittster
  3. I understand all of the plane is affected by the ice. I set out on a mission to fly around the world in the Beech G36 taking a northerly route. It has buttons that are inoperative to engage deicing. My mission was to See the world, not just fly high and execute waypoints on a flight plan. The TBM 930 has working Deice, but not the G36. That said I cannot wait for good weather as I am helping my wife take care of her mother (almost 97 in a hospital bed in our home for almost two years). I can only fly when I get the chance. Sure, I can set up the weather to be nice, warm and cozy, but if I were in upper Norway right now this instant - what would the real weather be... So, I have worked hard (read my threads) on how to at least turn on some of the De-Icing capability and then turn the Icing failures in the Options menu to just visual only so it does not affect the plane. I can live with that, at least I would be seeing the world on a lower altitude and not super buzzing past anything that looks interesting. So, for now, I am going to use the TBM 930 and wait for either Microsoft to fix the issues or see if a 3rd party plane becomes available with decent speed, good views out the windshield and working deicing functionality. I'm not a pilot, don't intend to be one. I just want to fly around the world and see it. I did it once already recreating Amelia's flight in XPlane. The visuals are so much better in MSFS. I just changed it to a more northerly route this time. If anyone has found a working solution, I would love to hear from you as would others in other forums I am following/participating on this topic. Blessings - Kittster
  4. I'm beginning to think Ctrl-Alt-D might be working to Deice the Beech G36. I combined it with this change to the Systems.cfg file in the SimObjects / Airplane folder tweaking the line below changing the value from 0 to 1 so don't know if that was really needed or not. [DEICE_SYSTEM] structural_deice_type = 1 When I use it in the Beech G36 I also turn on the Deice Button (even though it says inoperative). That does not seem to do much, but when I add the Ctrl-Alt-D then things clear up. I'm still not 100% certain that it works as my last few successful times have occurred while descending through the clouds and usually heading towards a coastal airport north of the Arctic Circle in Norway, Finland and NW Russia. I turned off the Ice affects in the Options menu to just visual only as I'm not certain this is deicing the wings, but it seems to be dong it at the same time. In the TBM 930 You can see the Windshield Deice toggle when you click Ctrl-Alt-D but that does not happen in the Beech. I should map it to the Deice Windshield button and see if that works. I'll keep testing and if I see for sure if it works or not, I'll update my posting.
