Olympia to Ketchikan

Here's a snapshot of the SF50 jet from below, while enroute from Olympia, Washington to Ketchikan, Alaska. This town was our first stop, on the Inside Passage cruise we took in I captured this snapshot because the contrail of the jet traffic passing overhead looked cool. Especially the amazing rendering of the clouds with the setting sun behind the viewer. That little collection of numbers in the upper left corner, is my way of keeping track of when ice starts accumulating on the aircraft. Awhile ago, I found out the hard way, that X-Plane does too good a job of simulating the nasty effects of airframe and engine icing, and unlike in real life, there is no indication of it, until the really bad behavior starts. Since then, I figured out that the formidable anti-ice capabilities of the SF50 jet are NOT simulated, but there is a way to program a joystick button, to turn on anti-icing in the simulator, so the plane doesn't go down, spinning crazily, every time I fly through clouds and rain, when the temperature is below freezing.
