Tire/Skid marks on 9L-9R Rwys

Have noticed that at the realworld KMIA the tire/skid marks on the two 9 runways are so dark the you almost cannot see the white markings in the center. Is there a way to darken the skid marks on the FlyTampa KMIA 9 runways to look more like the current runways? By the way this is a great add-on!

Darker skidmarks will be in the 1.6 udpdate which I'm working on as we speak.

Martin,

Might want to wait a few weeks. I recently heard they would be resurfacing Rwy 9 (with a new paintjob, obviously).

I'll check and get back to you.

Confirmed: Rwy 9/27 will be closed the month of October for resurfacing.

Martin,
It is my hope that if the 09 rwy @MIA is being resurfaced that you would offer an alternative texture with heavy tire marks (like the ones in the new KSEA scenery). I like the like the looks of those better than a "clean" runway surface. Just my view. Thanks again for your great work!

The current status of the update is that all runways will have overall darker skidmarks. I won't get it to look as good as Seattle, Midway and our newer releases because Miami is over 2 years old now but whatever can be improved will be improved.
