	This is what I found, MTOW - 355000 lbs Empty Weight - 146300 lbs Fuel Capacity - 16800 USG This will give you a cargo capacity of 96140 lbs The only thing you'd need to change is the empty weight to 146300

	I guess it's been awhile since I've done this. You say I would only need to change the empty weight. Where in the .cfg file does it list the fuel capacity. Or does it? Geez I can't remember.

	The fuel capacity (weight) is given for each tank - look in the [fuel] section, the 4200 figure is the capacity.

	I was actually just looking at that. Does it makes sense that the aux tanks are the same capacity as the others?

	Dunno - you'll need to look for the real values online - wikipedia is a good place to start.

	Not the fuel, but here is some information about the plane including cargo loading: https://aviationcargo.dhl.com/webedit/files/dc8.pdf Here is some information about the weights and fuel burn: http://www.azfreighters.com/planes/dc8-73f.pdf?bcsi_scan_10B3138C48CCE170=0&bcsi_scan_filename=dc8-73f.pdf
