 Miami airport info

Miami International Airport (IATA: MIA, ICAO: KMIA, FAA LID: MIA), also known
as MIA and historically as Wilcox Field, is the primary airport serving the Miami area,
with over 1,000 daily flights to 167 domestic and International destinations. The airport is
in an unincorporated area in Miami-Dade County, Florida, 8 miles (13 km) northwest of
Downtown Miami, in metropolitan Miami,[4] between the cities of Miami, Hialeah, Doral,
Miami Springs, the village of Virginia Gardens, and the unincorporated Fontainebleau
neighborhood.

It is South Florida's main airport for long-haul international flights and a hub for the
Southeastern United States, with passenger and cargo flights to cities throughout the
Americas, Europe, Africa, and Western Asia, as well as cargo flights to East Asia. It is the
largest gateway between the United States and south to Latin America, and is one of the
largest airline hubs in the United States, owing to its proximity to tourist attractions, local
economic growth, large local Latin American and European populations, and strategic
location to handle connecting traffic between North America, Latin America, and Europe.

In 2018, 45,044,312 passengers traveled through the airport, making it the 13th busiest
airport in the United States and 40th busiest in the world by total passenger traffic. It is the
3rd busiest airport in the United States by international passenger traffic. MIA is Florida's
busiest airport by total aircraft operations and total cargo traffic and its second busiest by
total passenger traffic after Orlando International Airport.[5]

The airport is American Airlines' primary gateway to Latin America (Central America,
Caribbean Sea / West Indies islands, South America) along with a domestic hub for its
regional affiliate American Eagle in the U.S.A. It also serves as a focus city for Avianca,
Frontier Airlines, and LATAM, both for passengers and cargo operations. In the past, it has
been a hub for Braniff International Airways, Eastern Air Lines, Air Florida, the original
LatinVFR Miami V5 manual -4-
National Airlines, the original Pan American World Airways ("Pan Am"), United Airlines,
Iberia Airlines and Fine Air.

In January 2016, the airport began replacement of the current terminal by starting
construction on a new terminal located on the north side of the airfield. The terminal is
slated to have 35 gates, which can be expanded to 42 gates in the future.

About the scenery/ Scenery config

We have provided in this package the uninstaller for Miami V4. Please uninstall the
old version before moving to this new version.

This scenery a version of Prepar3d v4.4 or higher is required due to PBR materials
being extensively used.

We add the necessary SODE files automatically without any input from the users.

Because this new version of Miami uses PBR in almost all buildings/objects/runways,
performance might be impacted. Please note what would impact significantly a PBR
scenery.

Dynamic reflections: If you have this tab in ULTRA, unless you have a very high-end
system you should be ok. If not, please use MEDIUM or LOW. LOW is the minimum
setting recommended, if not the default environment map will show.

Shadows: If you have shadows enabled you might encounter significant performance
issues, since the PBR objects will.

Water reflections: This might impact significantly also since the surrounding area of
KMIA is mostly water areas.

Airport ground objects: We recommend if you have a low-end system or have some
performance issues to untick airport objects in the scenery configurator.

Static aircraft: If you have performance issues please also untick this option. Along
with animations.

City and surrounding photo scenery. You may be free to untick these. But the city and
other surrounding objects have minimal impact on performance.

Please visit our forums if you have issues: FORUM.
