Defroster deices the airframe
-
Found an interesting bug tonight. The defroster works really well, a bit too well! Not only does it remove ice the from the windshield, but it also removes airframe ice. I tried it twice and the ice immediately started disappearing from the nose and wing roots as soon as I turned on defrost at the same time it cleared from the windshield.

Interesting... The only thing the defroster does is turn on the windshield deice, so I suspect Asobo considers the "melt system" (as it's called in the material parameters) to include the windshield deice, even though the windshield is a different material... I've made the appropriate change now and will see if it makes a difference. If you haven't noticed, the icing features in MSFS were not very well thought out, in my opinion.
