I have downloaded the -10 thru -40 manual and have the -50 thru -70 version and neither show what tank is what (cfg vs in game) so that we can load the fuel in the correct tanks since there's not a load tool included with the package.
Also, I have available DC-8-61/71 and DC-8-63/73 loading charts if anyone is interested. I'd prefer to distribute them directly than via general internet as they're copies of copies and thus not really of publishable quality. |

Here are the tank assignments. They don't make much sense:
No.1 Alt: LEFT TIP No.1 Main: CENTER No.2 Alt: LEFT AUX No.2 Main: LEFT Fwd Aux: N/A CW Aux: CENTER 3 No.3 Main: CENTER 2 No.3 Alt: RIGHT AUX No.4 Main: RIGHT No.4 Alt: RIGHT TIP

Unfortunately, FSX has limitations as to how fuel tanks can be arranged, especially if you want to model a complex crossfeed and aux tank system. I have seen similar problems with other payware aircraft but they have worked around it. PMDG fixes these limits by using a load manager to input fuel desired and then distributes it automatically; if you do it through the menu - BOINK!
