Default DC-3 Fuel Tank Conversion

I'm new to FSX, and have been looking for a four fuel tank conversion for the default DC-3, similar to the one I use in FS9. Is there such a thing; and if so, where would I find it? Thanks kindly for any help or advice.
 
Since the FSX and FS2004 DC-3 aircraft cfg files are basically identical and the 4 tank modification does not alter the virtual cockpit, I think the FS2004 mod should work just fine in FSX. No harm in trying, just back up the original FSX files before applying this mod.

Manfred Jahn's C47 comes with 4 tanks and is rather better than default (though some like the older VC)...

Thanks kindly for your help. Manfred Jan's new VC is a gem, but I had something more retro in mind for a few of the versions I like flying. I got the FS 2004 conversion working as far as it goes. Since it doesn't affect the VC, and I'm starting to get used to flying that way, I think I might see whether there is a way to patch the 2d throttle quadrant display, which does convert, into something I can use in the VC. I love a good challenge!
 
My only gripe with Manfred's C-47 version 2 is that it uses the Basler BT-67 virtual cockpit and is far too modern for a DC-3/C-47. Still waiting for the Vintage Virtual Cockpit version to be completed.
