The Airbus A350-900 variant showcased here in Qatar’s original launch-customer paint scheme offers a richly detailed simulation package for freeware enthusiasts. It integrates smoothly with Flight Simulator X and introduces advanced ground service animations that heighten immersion with practical visual cues. This release was developed by Camil Valiquette (aircraft model and design) and repainted by Phillip Hughes.

Enhanced Visual Changes and Ground Handling

The package represents CamSim’s Version 4 and includes newly refined Animated Ground Servicing (AGS). These AGS functionalities incorporate trucks that connect and disconnect from gear, plus ground personnel elements that remain visible when the aircraft is stationary. These specific animations give users a more realistic experience by simulating actual airline ramp processes.

Technical Snapshot of the A350-900

Developed as a long-haul wide-body airliner, the A350-900 pioneered modern composite structures and improved aerodynamic surfaces. Qatar Airways, renowned for its premium in-flight amenities, was the initial operator of the A350 program. This particular repaint effectively highlights those distinctive branding details while retaining an authentic overall layout, demonstrating the airline’s signature aesthetic.

Installation Procedures

  1. Extract all contents into the FSX “Airplane” directory to place the aircraft files in the correct location.
  2. Open the included “Effects.zip” archive and place its files into your primary FSX folder (they should reside within the “Effects” subfolder to ensure proper night lighting).

Ground Servicing Animations and Controls

  • Shift + E: Opens or closes the M2 passenger air stairs doorway.
  • Shift + E + 2: Activates or deactivates the M1 passenger doorway and triggers default FSX ground animations.
  • Shift + D: Manipulates the cargo hatches for luggage and freight operations.
  • Shift + C: Commences or ends specialized ground boarding features (trucks connecting/disconnecting, etc.).

To fully utilize these animations in FSX, confirm that you have assigned the following key commands under: “Options > Settings > Controls > Buttons/Keys > Change Assignment...

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

Developer Credits and Final Notes

Modeling and design were contributed by Camil Valiquette, and visual detailing (repaint) is credited to Phillip Hughes. This complete freeware aircraft package is fully compatible with FSX, allowing virtual pilots to simulate the A350-900’s advanced features within a desktop environment. By emulating the real-life Qatar Airways launch customer configuration, this add-on brings extra realism to transcontinental flight operations in your simulator.
