Default How much fuel do you prefer to carry?

I haven't flown MSX enough in a while. Is weight even a factor in
performance?


(I presume you mean FSX.) Yes, weight is taken into account and has an
obvious effect on behavior and performance. In simulation, fuel costs
nothing, so I usually fly with full tanks on small aircraft. On large
aircraft I fly with several hours' more fuel than I need.

I know the default W&B's usually have full tanks.
Course with flight simulator you can always add more fuel
inflight.


That would be cheating. You can also set unlimited fuel, but that's
cheating,
too. Still, fuel-exhaustion scenarios aren't that interesting to simulate
so
I just load more than enough fuel for every flight.
