Bob J Bob, It should carry the correct fuel thorough to the aircraft you select on the setup page (and that you select when FS opens...at least that's what I'm seeing). I'm running Maddog 2010 Pro with FS9. |

Try to load the default microlight instead of the maddog from the free flight page, then when the sim has loaded with you on the airport you click Aircraft->Select Aircraft from the menus, select the maddog and the plane should load with the amount of fuel you set with the load manager

Fuel loading has never worked for me, I always have to load the fuel via FSX itself.
Same happens in FS9 and FSX. I have the 2008 pro version. |

The secret is a properly configured Cold n Dark default flight.
