Can’t Fit A 747-8 At West Cargo

Can someone at LatinVFR take a closer look at the West Cargo ramp ground markings?

It seems that, even on the newly released V5, the markings are incorrect, and of particular frustration, customer’s can’t fit their PMDG 747-8F in any of the parking spots without the tail hanging way over the red line, or the nose being far beyond the stop bar on the parking’s centerline.

Please reference KMIA Google Maps satellite imagery for a good example of how the 747-8F should fit in these West Cargo ramp spots.

Hi, sorry about this, will certainly take a look at it and for 5.2 will do this.

Keep in mind that gates sizes and specifications change by the day, its a bit hard to actually keep up with the changes.

Also despite being a red line, usually as with many airports, the gate next to it would be closed in order to have that large aircraft parked at that gate.
