Mike, to create icing in the sim, go to the Advanced Weather window of
the Customize Weather button, then click on the Clouds tab. Set a low
cloud layer (doesn't matter the type, but make it a broken to overcast
layer so that you can easily fly through it).
In the Cloud tab you will also see a drop-down box labeled Icing. There
you can choose the varying degrees of icing. This will model airframe
icing in the clouds.
To be honest, I have not taken the time to experiment with icing in the
sim to know for sure, but IRL airframe icing can form when the outside
air temperature (OAT) is between +2 and -20 degrees C *and* there is
visible moisture present (clouds and/or precipitation). So, choosing
the icing weather setting when the OAT at that cloud layer is above this
range should not result in airframe ice.
