AI Air Canada Boeing 787-8

This repaint for the AI Boeing 787-8 enriches your virtual skies with Air Canada’s signature look, providing a recognizable presence in any simulated environment. Designed for the freeware CamSim AI base model by Camil Valiquette, this package supplies only the exterior livery. Pilots and AI traffic enthusiasts who focus on realistic airline fleets will appreciate the dynamic representation of Canada’s flag carrier in their simulator. The Boeing 787-8 (often referred to as the “Dreamliner”) is renowned for its advanced composite structure, next-generation avionics, and improved fuel economy. Air Canada, a major operator of this type, integrates its 787 fleet on varied routes across the globe.

Boeing 787-8 Technical Aspects

The 787-8 variant features innovative wing design, cutting-edge aerodynamics, and an efficient twin-engine configuration. In real-world aviation, it offers a quieter cabin environment thanks to noise-reducing engine chevrons and optimized flight systems. Air Canada’s personal touches include a distinctive fuselage scheme, hinting at the airline’s emphasis on both branding and performance. Incorporating this repaint translates those nuances into your virtual traffic, ensuring AI aircraft resemble their real-world counterparts closely.

AI Traffic Integration Details

This repaint is exclusively for the existing CamSim AI Boeing 787-8 base model. Ensure you have the correct files from the Fly Away Simulation library, as those will serve as the foundation for this livery. Once installed correctly, the AI aircraft will populate your flight paths or airport gates with authentic Air Canada markings. This is especially appealing to those who frequently operate at Canada’s busiest hubs or explore transcontinental routes within the simulator.

Steps for Installing the Repaint

1. Add the texture folder to the main CamSim AI Boeing 787-8 directory.
2. Open the aircraft.cfg file within that directory and paste the section below, ensuring that “[fltsim.x]” is replaced with the appropriate sequential number (e.g., [fltsim.1]).
3. Verify the folder naming conventions and confirm any relevant readme instructions from the base package.

Visual Optimization on Windows 7

If your simulator runs on Windows 7 and parts of the airplane disappear at sunrise or sunset, consider unchecking Preview DirectX 10 in the Display options. By disabling this preview mode, you can restore all the visual elements and fully enjoy the Air Canada 787’s exterior details.

Developers and Credits

The aircraft design, along with the paintwork, is attributed to Camil Valiquette, who has created numerous AI models specifically aimed at realistic traffic simulation. This repaint integrates seamlessly with the CamSim package, but remember that you need the original freeware base model, available from the Fly Away Simulation repository, to complete the installation.
