This custom rendition of Norwegian Long Haul’s Boeing 787-8 in registration EI-LNA features an authentic livery and detailed ground servicing elements, making it an immersive freeware experience ready for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Created by Mathieu Vos (APSS) with a base model from CamSim, this package showcases the distinctive features of the Dreamliner while honoring Norwegian’s intercontinental service.

Advanced Composite Engineering and Optimized Flight Envelope

The 787 airframe integrates extensive composite materials, designed to reduce weight and enhance structural strength. This approach provides superior operating efficiency and a smoother cabin experience. Passengers typically appreciate the improved pressurization that aids overall comfort during long flights.

Spotlight on Norwegian’s EI-LNA

Norwegian Long Haul, part of Norwegian Air Shuttle’s global network, has employed the 787 for transatlantic and intercontinental routes. Registration EI-LNA reflects the airline’s dedication to fuel efficiency and modern design. The livery highlights a clean fuselage and the airline’s signature tail artwork, making it instantly recognizable in global skies.

Distinct Repaint and Model Collaboration

Mathieu Vos (APSS) carefully crafted this repaint to capture the aircraft’s details, from the wing curvature to the airline’s branding elements. CamSim provided the base model, ensuring that 787-specific aerodynamics and geometry are accurately reflected within the simulator.

Installation and File Placement

• Extract the contents into the “Airplane” folder in your main FSX directory.
• If you have not yet installed the included night effects from previous AGS-based releases, unzip the “Effects.zip” file into the main simulator directory. This places the relevant special effects in the correct folder structure.
