I concur with Ray. If you have American Eagle ERJ-135s and/or Asiana 747 Cargo aircraft parking in those UPS spots it will be because they have CARGO set for their atc_parking_types parameter in their aircraft.cfg file, and there are no other parking spots available for them.
In other words, you probably have too many American Eagle ERJ-135s and/or Asiana 747 Cargo aircraft already at the airport but there's not enough parking spots (or none at all) in the AFCAD specifically assigned for American Eagle cargo and Asiana cargo planes ... so those planes then look for the "next best" available cargo parking spot in the AFCAD ... and what do they find ... the UPS parking spots will be set as CARGO spots in the AFCAD ... so they park there.
To fix this you either have to reduce the number of American Eagle ERJ-135s and/or Asiana 747 Cargo aircraft at the airport ... or ... specifically assign parking codes to the cargo parking spots in the AFCAD and make sure those parking codes match with the cargo airlines and respective aircraft.cfg files of your cargo planes ... or ... leave the parking codes for the cargo parking spots as BLANK in the AFCAD as long as you have enough cargo parking spots to cater for the number of cargo planes that will be at the airport (also considering the wing_span values of your planes and the parking spot sizes of these BLANK cargo parking spots) ... or a combination of all of these suggestions.
------------------------------------------------------- And ... I believe Just Flight's logic for setting all the wing_span values as 94.75 ft was to ensure that the maximum number of planes could appear at any and all airports in the FSX world. In other words, Microsoft is part to blame here because the vast majority of airports in their sim did not have appropriately sized parking spots and correctly assigned parking types. If Just Flight applied correct wing_span sizes for planes like the 747, then the 747 would not have appeared at many airports and that would have been LESS realistic. So Just Flight covered this off by setting the wing_span values to 94.75 ft. Truth be known, after I manually set all of the CORRECT wing_span values in my aircraft.cfg files, I've never not once noticed an airport anywhere in the FSX world that didn't have, say, 747s etc parking there. So I am not sure if Just Flight's concerns were founded or not. My advice? Set the wing_span values correctly and enjoy the fact that 747's no longer park in parking spots where smaller planes should be parking.
