Default How fast does the skin of the airplane cool to surrounding temperatures?

Have you tried this with your simulator?


No. It depends on well-known principles of physics that I don't have
to simulate.

We have six airplanes here, and when we take them out of a warm
hangar into falling snow, the snow melts on the airplane, and then the
resultant water freezes as the structure cools off. Makes a mess. Works
better to open the hangar door and let the airplanes cool off first
before moving them outside.


That's what I would have suggested.
