Key Enhancements

This version includes Animated Ground Servicing (AGS). It features active ground vehicles connecting and disconnecting trailers. It also presents static displays around the aircraft to provide a busy terminal feel. These animations operate in sync with select key commands to give a streamlined user experience.

Installation Details

• Extract all files into your FSX "Airplane" folder.
• If this is your first CamSim AGS aircraft, unzip the included "Effects.zip" into the main FSX directory. This places night lighting effects in the correct location.

After these steps, the aircraft will be available in your simulator’s aircraft selection menu.

Animation Controls

To manage passenger doors and ground equipment, use these key combinations:

• Shift+E opens or closes the M2 passenger air stairs.
• Shift+E+2 opens or closes the first passenger door (M1) and activates some built-in ground operations.
• Shift+D controls the cargo hatches.
• Shift+C toggles the additional animations (such as connecting vehicles).

Ensure these commands are assigned correctly in the FSX Options menu:

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

These mappings enable ground units and doors to function as intended in any airport environment.

Remarks

Model design and paint remain the work of Camil Valiquette. The precise AGS integration is also a highlight of CamSim’s version 4 technique. This freeware add-on captures key cabin and exterior elements, while the airline’s operational style is reflected in its detailed livery. The result is an immersive simulation of Cathy Pacific’s modern fleet member.
