FSX Aeroflot Airbus A350-900 V4

This freeware package features the Aeroflot Airbus A350-900, incorporating an advanced implementation of Animated Ground Servicing (AGS) for enhanced realism. Developed and painted by Camil Valiquette, this CamSim version 4 introduces refined ground service truck animations and updated bogies for the tilted main gear. Enthusiasts seeking an up-to-date widebody experience will find the combination of visuals, animations, and operational details especially immersive.

Enhanced Exterior Elements

The aircraft’s exterior showcases meticulous texturing that accurately reflects the Aeroflot livery, a hallmark of Russia’s flag carrier. [Livery] stands for the airline's standardized paint scheme, reproducing logos and color gradients in high detail. Additionally, the developer has modernized the main landing gear assemblies to reflect the real A350-900’s pronounced tilt, lending a lifelike stance on the apron or runway.

Ground Servicing Animations

This version refines AGS by introducing moving service trucks that connect and disconnect from their trailers. [Animated Ground Servicing] indicates a system where passenger stairs, cargo loaders, and other vehicles respond to user input. When using Shift+E or Shift+E+2, you can open and close different cabin doors, while Shift+D and Shift+C govern cargo hatches and additional special functions. Setting up your simulator controls through the menu ensures all these interactive features remain fully operational.

Key Animations and Controls

Shift+E

Opens or closes the second passenger door (M2) with integrated stairs.

Shift+E+2

Handles the first passenger door (M1), which triggers FSX ground services simultaneously.

Shift+D

Activates the cargo doors, facilitating baggage or freight loading.

Shift+C

Starts or ends additional AGS elements, such as trucks hooking up trailers.

Installation Procedure

• Extract this add-on’s main folder into your FSX “Airplanes” directory. [Directory] identifies your simulator’s subfolder where aircraft data is stored.
• If you have not used one of Camil Valiquette’s AGS aircraft in the past, then also unzip the Effects.zip into the simulator’s root folder so the enhanced lighting works (the files go into the built-in “Effects” directory).

Assigning Essential Commands

To enable all AGS functionalities, you should map specific simulator keystrokes within the FSX controls menu:

• Wing fold/unfold = Shift+C
• Tail hook up/down = Shift+D
