FSX United Airlines Airbus A350-900 V4

Experience a detailed rendition of the Airbus A350-900 in United Airlines livery, bundled here as a complete freeware package for FSX. This CamSim V4 release by Camil Valiquette includes specialized Animated Ground Servicing (often referred to as AGS) that showcases ground vehicles connecting to and detaching from their respective service points, along with other visually engaging static elements. Enthusiasts who enjoy simulating realistic airline environments will appreciate the carefully designed animations and the refined model structure.

CamSim’s Updated AGS Features

The latest build integrates enhanced vehicle movement for catering, baggage, and cargo operations. In particular, you will notice truck-mounted equipment aligning correctly with doors, along with supplementary trailers that attach and detach seamlessly. This dynamic adds a layer of immersion, letting you observe ground personnel activities closely while you prepare to depart or park after a flight.
