FSX Lufthansa Boeing 787-10 V4

This comprehensive freeware release offers an enhanced Lufthansa Boeing 787-10 for FSX with refined geometry and advanced ground operations. It blends immersive animations, expanded service features, and brilliant visual elements, creating a highly detailed long-haul aircraft that replicates authentic airline operations.

Key Structural Improvements

CamSim’s version 4, developed and painted by Camil Valiquette, focuses on an optimized wing root design to reflect the aerodynamic contours of the real Boeing 787-10. It also integrates modernized passenger entryways (referred to as pax doors) that are broader than previous iterations, coupled with carefully aligned window outlines.

Refined External Details

• Redesigned external ducts for enhanced avionics and cabin ventilation.
• Additional satellite and communication antennas for an up-to-date appearance.
• Comprehensive ground support equipment animations that showcase trailers coupling and decoupling with trucks.

Animated Ground Servicing (AGS)

The included AGS system activates various interactive components. For instance, cargo handling vehicles connect to their respective points on the aircraft, and additional service actions occur around the fuselage in a manner that mirrors real-world procedures. This feature highlights the attention to operational detail in modern airliner simulations.

Useful Keyboard Assignments

Passenger Doors (Front and Rear)

Press Shift+E to open or close the primary passenger entryways.

Rear Cargo Hatches

Service Vehicle Activation

Press Shift+C to initiate or end the AGS animations, which coordinate ground vehicles around the aircraft.

Installation Guidance for FSX

1. Extract all package files into your FSX Airplane directory.
2. If you have not previously installed one of the AGS-based aircraft, decompress the Effects.zip into the main FSX folder so that the night lighting and other dynamic effects are placed in the correct Effects subfolder.

Additional Configuration

Ensure you map the following commands within the FSX menu under Options > Settings > Controls > Buttons/keys > Change Assignment:

• Fold/Unfold Wing = Shift + C
• Tail Hook (Up/Down) = Shift + D

This Lufthansa 787-10 rendition combines stylish aesthetics with functional realism, reflecting the long-range capabilities of the real-world Boeing 787’s airframe. Thanks to Camil Valiquette’s continuous refinements, it delivers an engaging simulation experience for enthusiasts eager to integrate intercontinental flight operations into their FSX hangar.
