FSX American Airlines Airbus A350-900 V4

The latest freeware rendition of American Airlines’ Airbus A350-900 from CamSim arrives with enhanced ground service animations, refined external details, and a fully tilt-enabled main landing gear setup. Developed by Camil Valiquette, it delivers a faithful representation of this modern wide-body aircraft while including interactive features that serve both immersion and authenticity within Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Key Refinements in This Release

Ground Support Interactions: The version 4 package offers Animated Ground Servicing (AGS), complete with vehicles that attach or detach trailers and position themselves around the airframe in realistic sequences. These motion routines aim to replicate real-world ramp activities.

Tilted Main Landing Gear Update: The undercarriage now includes revised bogies, giving the landing gear the characteristic tilt that defines the A350’s stance on the tarmac.

High-Fidelity Textures: The American Airlines livery has been carefully rendered with attention to iconic color schemes and logos. The paint is intended to match the contemporary branding used by this major carrier.
