Snow and Ice

Features

Hello!

I thought that it would be pretty sick if there was some more wintery weather implemented into this flight sim. There could be snow all around the taxiways, and there could also be ice on the runways, maybe forcing you to use reverse thrust on landings in case you already don’t.

Going on this, if you think that this is a good idea, check out another feature idea that a friend of mine made:

Please give this a vote if you want to see this soon! I personally would, seeing as Christmas and winter is right around the corner. Happy holidays to all!

Thank you so much for your vote! One reason I particularly want to see this feature is because winter is almost here and it would be cool to have some flights in the snow.

Ice gets pretty complicated in the aviation world, I suspect at a minimum a lot of pretty core changes would be needed if you want it to actually impact your flight.

Would love to see more votes from you guys. If we can get enough, maybe this will be a feature by winter of next year, which would be awesome.

This would be amazing, especially in places like Aspen just to see all the scenery covered with snow as you’re taking off in your beautiful private jet

I agree. Maybe somewhere in the Swiss Alps would be gorgeous

Precipitation is the same thing as snow? 🤔

@Claudio yes it is but the types of precipitation talked about in that category is more like rain, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes, many of which aren’t actually precipitation

I vote for it ! For example they can make the ground white and not always green.

Yes! A bump! Although can I remake this by adding more pictures and adding a better description @moderators?

Bumping this after 7 months…if I’m being entirely honest, I had no idea that I had even created this feature request until just now.

I said this in November of '22. So maybe…if you guys vote, by the winter of 2025 this will be a feature!

Yes, I’d like to see this feature added in Infinite Flight, snow and ice can make a more complicated flight conditions, e.g. ice on wings can make the plane stall.

If IF is adding this feature I will recommend also include:

  • Give every aircraft wipers and de-icing instruments
  • Add de-icing vehicles(only can be used at the de-ice pad)
  • Add snow/ice broadcast message in ATC

And Infinite Flight should add some realistic characteristics on snow and ice, e.g. if you stay not moving for a while, the snow/ice on your aircraft will increase, and there won’t be snow around the engine nozzle unless you turned it off.

This would be a cool idea. Though I don’t see this happening for a couple of years
