Well, last I looked they are still working on this and it is by no means their final version. I believe their prop ice is not even modeled using the correct approach. they want drag on the prop, not rpm loss and they haven't totally figured out how to do it. They are totally aware of that issue and are working on it to find a solution.
I'm not sure what version your using and unless it is the dev version I don't think you even have the prop icing. As far as what you are experiencing I would venture to guess it is ice on the aircraft wing, which is modeled I believe? The solution is you don't fly in it, there is no fix. There is no deicing equipment (wing) on the 182s.
I'm not sure if they are doing the carb icing or not and if they are I would be surprised there was no carb heat. Unless it is handled differently on a c182s. Also the carb heat does cause a loss in RPM.
The 172p doesn't model the wing ice yet so that is why you can fly it in the no-fly conditions.
EDIT. after I saw @ legoboyvdlp last post...
@legoboyvdlp does the fgaddon version do the prop icing? Is there a carb heat on the c182s?
I'm not sure if there is a c182 on fgaddon at all, I use HHS81's repository. I don't think it has carb heat although I've never really checked yet. The icing is very recent so I think it wouldn't be in fgaddon yet.
