[Problem] Aircraft weight and Fuel

[Lowe]

Hello gents, I would like to ask if it's bad that aircraft total weight appears on red, and how can I set up fuel amount "forever", because it resets every time I start the game and it seems the fuel value in the Full Mission Builder doesn't work, I have to modify it from the plane options in the main menu. (I play offline)

Why not go to Options > Realism, and un-check "Limited Fuel"?

Will that solve the weight problem?

isn't the whole weight issue more related to acceleration than top speed?

Yes.

[Kling]

Yes.

well...
mainly but of course top speed is also affected.
The heavier you are, the more lift the wings must prodouce to keep you airborn, and more lift = more induced drag (drag created as a direct effect of lift, wing tip vortices etc etc)

It is important to check your fuel load each mission anyways. It's a good habit.

Lowe,

by "forever" do you mean - how can I set up the fuel amount so it stays as I chose it?

If yes, I don't know. It is annoying that the 109 weight is screwy but hopefully that'll be fixed sometime.
