De-Icers question
« on: April 26, 2017, 07:53:25 pm »
This may have been posted already, but i would suggest that in a coming update that the deicers would "do their thing" not at the gate, but at an actual de-icing stand.

The de-icers "do their thing" on stand at many airports across Europe.  In fact I've only ever been remotely de-iced once.

Remote deicing is not something that can be automatic: it depends on the airport having a proper deicing pad, unless you would suggest that GSX should allow you to call deicers everywhere (even in the runway??), which is hardly realistic.

So, it must be something the scenery provides for. And in fact, with recent updates, we added remote deicing pads to both our Zurich and O'Hare scenery, in the place where they are located.
