** The Alternate static air system was modeled, and now the outer static ports can ice, causing the static port to be blocked.

The Venturi effect will introduce some errors/misreadings, because cabin pressure is lower than the outside atmosphere based on speed. This was the last Cockpit item missing, so the Cockpit can be considered complete!
