Up to now when flying in simulation, I've had the simulator take care
of engine mixture adjustments. However, since I'd have to do this
myself in real life, I've decided to make some modest attempts at
managing mixture myself. Unfortunately, the POH and the other sources
I've consulted are rather vague on how mixture should be adjusted.
Can anyone offer general guidelines on when to enrich or lean the
mixture? It seems that max rich is used when maximum power is
required (?), such as at take-off, but I'm not clear when the mixture
should be leaned in particular. And what are the potential
consequences of an incorrect mixture?

There are no consequences of doing anything wrong in MSFS. That's why you
like it, remember?
