FSX United Airlines Boeing 787-9 V4

This full-featured Boeing 787-9 package, wearing the United Airlines livery, brings CamSim’s version 4 advancements to FSX. Developed and painted by Camil Valiquette, it introduces refined aerodynamics at the wing root, enlarged passenger doors, and well-defined cockpit and cabin window lines. In addition, you will find improved animated air ducts, multiple communication and satellite antenna configurations, and an extensive Animated Ground Servicing (AGS) system with the option to hook or unhook selectable service vehicles. This freeware release includes the complete base model.

Enhanced Exterior Details and Technical Features

Refined Wing Integration

The redesigned join at the wing root ensures smooth airflow, which can enhance lift simulation and reduce drag in FSX. This careful shaping reflects the aircraft’s real-world composite structure—a hallmark of the Boeing 787-9.

Upgraded Passenger Entry Points

Newly widened passenger doors (referenced as M1 and M2) provide a more accurate depiction of boarding dimensions. They also align precisely with standard jet way or stair simulations, contributing to an immersive experience when loading and unloading.

Additional Vents and Antennas

Multiple animated air ducts improve visual authenticity for airflow vents, while expanded comm and satellite antennas represent the high-speed connectivity systems found on real aircraft, particularly relevant for longer transcontinental routes that this Dreamliner often flies.

Ground Service Animations and Interaction

This package incorporates even more interactive ground service operations. Watch as trucks attach and detach their trailers, replicating realistic airport logistics.

Installation and Configuration

• Extract all files into your main “FSX/Airplane” folder.
• If you have never used one of the AGS aircraft by this developer before, unzip the “Effects.zip” into your primary FSX folder so that these new night effects are placed in the correct “Effects” directory.

Adjusting Animation Commands

To take full advantage of every moving component, set the following key commands (found under the FSX “Options” menu) so you can operate them seamlessly:

• Shift+E ? Open/close passenger stairs at door M2.
• Shift+E+2 ? Activate/deactivate the main M1 entry door (also starts default FSX ground animations).
• Shift+D ? Engage or retract the cargo doors.
• Shift+C ? Initiate or discontinue custom ground servicing animations.
• Assign Wing Fold/Unfold to Shift+C for smooth operation.
• Assign Tail Hook Up/Down to Shift+D for cargo door control.

This comprehensive Boeing 787-9 rendition offers a realistic United Airlines exterior merged with carefully implemented systems to expand your simulation timeline from departure gate to arrival gate. The model design and paint by Camil Valiquette provide authenticity throughout, ensuring a freeware package that elevates immersion in FSX.
