How much fuel do you prefer to carry?
you don't fly... you operate a computer
"Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... bdl writes: 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. |
