Not yet. It shouldn't be a difficult addition to FGPiston in JSBSim -- just heat up the inducted air a bit (assuming the engine is hot) and let the model take care of the rest. > But, in the c172p-3d model, the carburetor heat is stuck in the > "on" position.

In the meantime, you can bind the property /controls/carb-heat[0] to a key or joystick button/axis if you want to see the knob move. > Also, the aircraft C-FGFS has a bit of a more of a left-yaw and > left-roll tendency than the climb-prop equipped 145hp Cessna 172 that I > rent(N5394T).
