Temperature and Icing

[feral cosmos]

Temperature could be an addition to climates in certain areas of the map. Temperature while up above the clouds should also increase and contribute to the disability of icing on planes. Icing would decrease the planes speed, or should be a tiny multiplier to condition loss during flight. To be able to counter this you can de-ice your plane, for example how the refueling mechanic works. However, your plane can gradually thaw if stationary under a specific altitude, or if kept in hangar for long . This can be visual or non-visual, could be through the reflectance look of the plane.

Could be a cool new money sink

Definitely not gonna be visual though

[strange coyote]

it be on the trello but yeah icing would definitely be a good mechanic to have

especially with advanced customization

then we have to decide if we want de icing gear and whatnot

[silent rain]

enabling deicing gear would reduce thrust because the deicing uses the hot air expelled from the engines

hence decreasing the mass of air being moved

good luck coding ts

unpaid dev slavery smh

[unborn nexus]

true

if its not visual then theres not much reason for this anyway

realistic physics:

I just need a reason to be at my pc all day for longer bc its becoming chronic

I hope these occur on final approach and takeoff to throw people off :)

[somber geode]

Depends on the deicing system

i like this idea
