Hello to all, soon Miami KMIA version 3 will be available. There are few things I wish to speak about regarding this new version of KMIA.
When I began working in 'updating' KMIA soon enough I found myself inmersed into fixing/adding things that I originally hadn't planned. I had thought in spending 2 weeks fixing bugs, updating certain things, but then more time and cost was spent, as a result 4 months of full time work was spent, instead of the originally 2 weeks, lots of new feature and improved ones. This shouldn't have happened, but it also so happened that now I currently live in Miami. And it has become once again my hometown airport. For better or for worse, I took this project on a personal level and this is why things went away from planned. Here is the update list, some things may be missing..
- New ground textures and designed polygons (runways, taxiways, aprons, smoothing taxiway lines) updating new markings, new taxiways and new taxi denominations.
- New HD photo scenery and , with added coverage and autogen to the west for more realistic approach (normal from the west) photo scenery increased from 125sq KM to 175 sq kilometer.
