Has anyone ever experienced mechanical failures because of problems with
ice..?

Like a crash, per chance? That would be a mechanical failure due to ice.

Other than that, ice can cause your airspeed indicator to fail and your
induction system to clog up. Although, I suspect that the latter is not
modeled in the sim.

simulated? yes
well i've had the pitot static tube close up

that is.

Yep - maybe. I've been playing around with Eugene Heyart's
Stratojet Excalibur, a fictional canard twin-engine jet - It has
excellent trans-sonic high-altitude manners and I've been
tweaking the engine performance envelope...

Did a long, steep climbout to 60,000 ft, leveled off, set up
cruise at Mach 3.0, and about 5 minutes later first one engine,
then the other, quit. Examination told me that the engine temp
had dropped to nothing while going through clouds on the way
up (the only evidince). Upon reaching lower and warmer air,
both engines lit off with a routine startup sequence, and I
duplicated the failure after climbing through the clouds again.

Turning on the deicing equipment (which according to the
author includes engine heat) caused the powerplant oil temps
to stay up and the engines ran fine.

Go figure.

Well, yes, and my wife has noted the phenomena also.
When I fall asleep in front of TV with a bourbon - the ice has mechanical
failure when it crashes to the floor.
If it happens again I am relegated to a plastic glass.

Cheers!
