ND S-64 - Lifting Capacity?

Anyone with the S-64:

What is the actual lifting capacity in pounds modeled in the aircraft? I know the actual aircraft can lift ~20K lbs. Many of the sim aircraft are not modeled to lift anywhere near what the aircraft can lift. One can see this in the aircraft.cfg by comparing the empty weight and max gross weight. I am considering purchase of the S-64 for firefighting simulation. Also, of those with the S-64 who answer this post, who is using it in P3D?

Regards,

Danny

I've been flying it in Fire Fighter X , and I seem to consistantly carry 1852 gals of water on the Helitankers 8-)
