Ammo is wrong on P-38, how to fix?

Which files would I need to adjust the .50 cal and 20mm ammo for stock/OH P-38F? Always a bug that annoyed me in stock plane.My understanding is it carried 150 rounds of 20mm ammo and 2000 rounds of .50. I have searched files but see nothing that stands out.Thanks.
 
The stock dp is wrong but what the P-38F carried was 150 20mm and 500 .50cal per machine gun. You can change it in the dp file. Look for
[GUNS.0]
gun.0=1250,0.86,-0.001,0.9399,0,0,1,1250
gun.1=1250,-0.2,-0.012,-0.151,0,0,1,1250
gun.2=1250,0.2,-0.0118,-0.85,0,0,1,1250
gun.3=1250,-0.86,0,0,0,0,1,1250

[GUNS.1]
gun.0=50,0,0,0,0,0,1,50

Change the [GUNS.0] number 1250 at the beginning and end of the string to 500
Change the [GUNS.1] number 50 at the beginning and end of the string to 150

Now you will have the proper ammo load.
