73samster Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 ok I will try and get back to you. By the way, what is the true difference between SD and HD for True Earth? I didn't really see much difference but share your thoughts. Maybe SD is much easier on FPS? Let em know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link you provided to download a new airport does not look as good as Xplane default MIA. IS there any other scenery or file I can download to fix this?

Jon Clarke Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Hi. You have also posted about the KMIA ground textures here: and my response is the same for this post here. For additional versions of KMIA maybe Google for them. I only know the one I linked. What I can suggest is that you visit the XP Gateway site and enter in Airport search KMIA and then download the version there. It will then be an addon rather than a Global Airports content and you can pace it at the top fo the scenery_packs.ini. See if that brings back the "default" version you are seeking. I see there is a newer version in the gateway dated April 2020: https://gateway.x-plane.com/scenery/page/KMIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to the website you provided, the download for KMIA is the same tile. This leads me to believe Ornx is indeed overwriting the KMIA scenery for some reason. May I delete that +20-90 tile in the Orbx folder and maybe it restores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took your advice and downloaded the x-plane scenery pack https://gateway.x-plane.com/scenery/page/KMIA and installed. It brought back the original KMIA ground textures. You may want to still fix your advise all customers of this fix but looks like it is working with the True Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed I didn't answer a couple of points you raised.The SD version is Zoom Level 16 (ZL16) and the HD versions are ZL17. The SD version uses half the amount of disk space, doesn't need to go through a texture conversion process when installing, loads quicker and is just fine as far as resolution and sharpness is concerned when flying above approx 2000ft . The TE Florida Airport files are mainly runway alignment files to correct the default airports runways which are not accurate and would cause a runway duplication because they are placed via the default scenery which is not accurate whereas the Photoscenery of TE is accurate. These files are mainly airfields rather than full blown airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to download the default scenery again or install any custom KMIA scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
