![]() ![]() Which part of the development of FLL stood out to you? Were there any challenges? What was your favourite moment of development? Some airport employees were nice enough to send us pictures, local pilots sent us airside images, and we even had a pilot doing fan overfly send us a few images. I used the airport as a passenger many times, before development I went and took some images and had a feel of the airport. Tell us a little about the process you went through to research the airport and start the development? We like challenging projects and if the airport is ‘lame’ or ‘uninteresting’ I am sure some uniqueness would be there for us to exploit, as it is in this case. That made me want to try it, knowing that the developer who did KFLL 11 years ago won’t redo it, we decided to jump in. I lived in South Florida for many years, was amazed by the engineering and innovation doing the sloped runway and how interesting it was. Why did you decide to work on that one next? Your latest airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, is due to release soon. Its frustrating but there is not much we can do but continue with the release, as it happened with LEBL and LEMD. We pick airports initially on those that are not done, however, we have encountered situations where in the middle of development other developers announce or release. When we decided to do KMIA there wasn’t a version for FSX but for FS2004, and we decided to jump in. The demand for airports in North America was higher and we decided to look at airports that weren’t done and if they were as in the case of KFLL, they had more than 10 years from the last version. Initially, I chose airports that were ignored by most developers, located in Latin America, as we did most of the importance we elected to do some in North America. How do you pick which airports to tackle next? You have a rich history of airport developments. 40 airports later, here we are still at it and expanding our catalogue, we have now 6 people directly collaborating with us from many continents and make part of LatinVFR. I am from Florida, and after graduating from college 12 years ago, decided to try and become involved in actively developing airports for FS. Tell us a little about yourself and what you do. In preparation for release, Ricardo, founder of LatinVFR, sat down with us to discuss some of the current challenges in the community, why he chose Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and also what the future of LatinVFR will look like. LatinVFR’s next airport will be Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) and will come complete with new features such as sloped runways (with working AI traffic). Known for recent releases such as Miami V5, New Orleans and Madrid, the developer has proven to be able to create a range of products in a variety of locations around the world. LatinVFR has been in the industry developing airports for many years. ![]()
