FSX Norwegian Air Shuttle Boeing 787-8 V4

Experience a meticulously refined rendition of the Norwegian Air Shuttle Boeing 787-8 V4 that integrates upgraded aerodynamic components and advanced ground handling animations, all crafted by Camil Valiquette. This freeware package for FSX provides a comprehensive model, incorporating new design elements like a reshaped wing root and larger passenger doors, as well as detailed user-directed ground support. Moreover, its new antenna configurations and additional animated air ducts ensure a distinct level of immersion.

Enhanced Exterior Build and Cabin Access

The wing root on this 787-8 has been reconstructed for better realism, and the widened passenger entry doors feature revised window frames to emulate the full-scale aircraft more accurately. Camil Valiquette has also refined the fuselage outline and positioned various comm and satellite antenna arrays for a more genuine look. These additions collectively produce an unmistakably authentic depiction of Norwegian Air Shuttle’s long-haul Dreamliner.

Expanded Ground Service Animation Suite

Alongside its authentic geometry, this release introduces increasingly more Animated Ground Servicing (AGS) elements. In addition to functioning air stairs, users can observe trucks connecting and disconnecting trailers, plus several static details. These visual cues boost immersion and create a more vibrant environment when preparing for departure or arriving at a destination.

Installation Guidelines

• Extract all files into your “FSX/airplane” directory.
• If you have not previously added one of Camil Valiquette’s AGS designs, unpack “Effects.zip” into your overarching FSX folder, ensuring the files are placed in the “Effects” subfolder as required by the night-lighting configuration.

Ground Animations Setup

Leverage specific command inputs to control each door and service feature. These assignments guarantee precise interaction with the boarding steps, cargo bays, and ground vehicles:

• Shift + E to toggle the passenger air stairs door M2.
• Shift + E + 2 to toggle the first passenger door M1 (which activates default FSX ground animations).
• Shift + D to open or close the cargo doors.
• Shift + C to start or end the main AGS animations.

For these inputs to function, confirm that the following controls are assigned within “Options > Settings > Controls > Buttons/Keys > Change Assignment” in FSX:

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

This freeware Boeing 787-8 V4 package exemplifies Camil Valiquette’s dedication to authentic shaping, robust surface detailing, and lively service animations. Pilots who enjoy operating Norwegian Air Shuttle’s modern fleet will appreciate the degree of polish in this enhanced Dreamliner. It merges a faithful representation of the real-world long-haul carrier with user-friendly customization, forming a standout option for anyone seeking to expand their FSX library.
