Air Mauritius Airbus A350-900 V4

This complete package showcases the Air Mauritius Airbus A350-900 in CamSim’s refined Version 4, incorporating a range of ground service animations and an updated landing gear assembly. Model design and paintwork comes courtesy of Camil Valiquette. The widebody airliner, which serves as the flagship for Air Mauritius, has been faithfully reproduced to deliver an immersive experience within your simulator environment.

Key Advancements in This Release

In this new iteration, CamSim has introduced upgraded Animated Ground Servicing (AGS), featuring a series of vehicle activities, including trailer movements and other ancillary support tasks on the ramp. The main landing gear bogies now tilt accurately, providing a more authentic stance during takeoff, landing, and taxi phases. All of these improvements are included in one download for convenient setup.

Installation Procedure

1. Extract all files into your main “Airplane” folder within the simulator.
2. Locate the Effects.zip file and unzip it into the main simulator directory. This transfers the necessary night lighting effects to the Effects folder.

Ground Service Animations and Controls

This release integrates advanced AGS features that simulate real-world operational workflows. The following controls enable these animations:

• Shift + E opens and closes the passenger air stairs door labeled M2.
• Shift + E + 2 handles the forward-left passenger door (M1) and can also initiate built-in simulator ground animations.
• Shift + D maneuvers the cargo hatches, allowing loadmaster truck interactions.
• Shift + C starts or ends ground servicing activities.

For seamless operation, assign these hotkeys in your simulator’s control settings under Buttons/Keys:

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

Why These Control Assignments Matter

Using these commands ensures that all animated ground support trucks perform effectively, hooking and unhooking with the aircraft. The interactive loading process also aligns with real-world airline turnarounds, offering more realism for pilot training and operational familiarity.
