Carenado Cessna Skymaster de ice mod 1.1
-----------------------------------------
The Cessna Skymaster can be equipped with De Ice boots that are currently not offered by Carenado. There is a wing inspection light and windshield defrost but when flying in icing conditions you may notice icing. I solved this problem by making this Cessna Skymaster de-ice kit which has propeller heat, fuselage de-ice.
*Note: If you're not comfortable with editing the aircraft configuration files then you might want to skip this mod but installation and use is fairly simple. Sorry it's not drag and drop but this mod does work.
Read the Read me file COMPLETELY before installation.
Before installation *Always make a copy of the original aircraft file incase you make a mistke*
** I assume no liabilty for you using this mod, use at your own risk**
Feel free to check out my liveries that add the visual de-ice boots to your Cessna Skymaster to go along with this mod.
Good idea these de-ice boots are now useful, thanks!

Just curious, does this add the relevant switches to the missing spots in the cockpit, or use keybinds, or is it more of an 'always on' kind of thing?

So I've enabled propeller heat and the overall toggle de ice. You have to go bind those functions with keys. (because there are no working GUI keys on the instrument panel for any kind of de -ice other then windshield defrost) in normal cold icy conditions if you turn on propeller heat, toggle de ice, and windshield de ice before take off you will not ice up. UNLESS it's super cold like Alaska and then it ices less like a real plane ( just less). It's on with one press of a key and off with another, so you kind of have to remember if you turned it off or on. Without this mod there is only windshield de -ice. It's also debatable if the icing in the simulator is just an effect for looks, or it actually affects the performance of the aircraft which would be adding unnecessary weight to the airframe, disabling things like flaps, clogging intakes etc.
