Lalo Castaneda’s editing thread

Hola a todos!

I’m Lalo, a Senior Editor for IFAET, my hometown airport is MMGL.
I’ve decided to start an editing thread where I can share my work, progress updates, and also receive suggestions as well.
I primarily specialize in Mexican airports, but I don’t limit myself to Mexico.
From time to time, i’ll also be editing airports from other regions around the world.
I used to edit under a different account, but since this is my official account, all of my content and projects will be posted here.

If you have any questions about airport editing or any of the airports I work on, feel free to ask.

Cheers,
Lalo.

That’s a lot of Mexico!

I say this, knowing that I’ll probably rarely venture out of even Texas

Hi!

I know we cant request specific airports, I was wondering if MMQT is possible to model eventually, its scenery on satellite looks pretty great

I hope to see it eventually!!

Thanks

[Lalo_Castaneda]

i’ll take a look, currently im working on Morelia and the Mexico City rework, but might take that one after finishing those

[PilotChrisSG]

Cool thanks!

Also side note: I don’t remember but i think I mentioned on another tracking thread that MMMX is missing the newer terminal connoted to Terminal 2 , right now they are remote stands

Sorry if i’m mentioning a lot!!

[Lalo_Castaneda]

Yeah, it’s part of the plan

[Lalo_Castaneda]

Morelia’s terminal building advancement:
I’ve been very busy lately but here is some progress i made today

[Lalo_Castaneda]

It’s not easy to make a building that’s the perfect balance between performance and aesthetics, but here’s Morelia’s Terminal building.
What do you guys think?

Mexican Civil Aviation Authority building:

Hangar work for MMMM
This wraps up the buildings development stage, now all that’s left is to detail the airport by adjusting the pavements and adding all the objects and models

[Lalo_Castaneda]

Ready to recieve and dispatch flights to Mexico, USA and the world (awaiting Official Review):

[Lalo_Castaneda]
