As of version 2016.3, static objects can be toggled in the Ground Equipment dialog. These include cones under the wings, a fuel truck, a ground power unit and ladders. The walker can climb the ladder by walking towards it, which makes it easy to access the fuel tank cap in order to refill it. | Carburettor icing is also modelled. Accumulating carburettor ice will result in loss of power. Applying carb heat will help to melt it. If the engine starts to cough when carb heat is applied, it means that ice has indeed been accumulated in the carburettor and now is being melt. To reduce the cough during the melting process, one can lean the mixture. | ||
