AI British Airways Boeing 787-8

This updated repaint brings the distinctive British Airways branding to the Boeing 787-8 AI model, providing an immersive traffic environment in FSX. It is offered as freeware and has been meticulously crafted by Camil Valiquette of CamSim. You will need the separately available base pack (CAMSIM788AI_X.ZIP) to utilize these textures. Below, you will find instructions for installing and integrating this repaint into your simulator setup.

Enhanced Paintwork Specifics

This repaint accurately reflects the key visual traits of the Boeing 787-8 in British Airways colors, focusing on hallmark elements of the airline’s modern livery. The AI model itself is designed for low resource consumption, making it well-suited for complex traffic scenarios. Through CamSim’s design, the textures align with the aircraft’s composite fuselage features, and the overall layout captures the sleek wingspan characteristic of the Dreamliner family.

Notable Characteristics of the Boeing 787-8

• Advanced Aerodynamics: The sleek wing shape, combined with a refined nacelle and integrated wingtips, reduces drag and enhances fuel efficiency.
• Composite Construction: The primary fuselage structure of the aircraft incorporates carbon-fiber composites, contributing to lighter weight and enhanced durability.
• Cabin Comfort: Although this release focuses on AI traffic modeling, it reflects the wide-body design known for increased cabin pressurization and larger cabin windows.
