The Working Title 747-8F profile has wrong weights. The Operating Empty Weight should be around 191300kg, while the Max Structural payload should be 137700kg, giving a max ZFW of 323000kg, which is similar to the ZFW listed on Boeing’s website. Instead, we have min and max zfw in the 200000s of kg, which makes the payload much lower.
It is intriguing indeed that the weights for the profile in question do not seem to match either “weight variant” as listed in the following Boeing document:
The MZFW of 651,000 lbs as used in the profile appears to correspond to the passenger version:
@Awemeter can probably explain why it’s set up this way and/or fix it if there have been mistakes.

I think @Awemeter hasn’t been active since August last year, is there someone else doing profiles now?
Those profiles were made based on the 2020 versions of the aircraft, not the 2024 versions. In 2020, there was no freighter version, but people could fly with a freighter livery. Therefore, the plane had the same W&B numbers. The only difference on the profile for ferighter is that it is setup to load cargo only and not pax.
Happy to see you still around @Awemeter! Any plans on updating the profile?
