AI Ethiopian Boeing 787-8

This freeware repaint brings the AI Ethiopian Boeing 787-8 to life with vivid detail and an authentic Ethiopian Airlines livery, intended for use alongside the separate CamSim AI Boeing 787-8 base model. Created by Camil Valiquette, this package preserves essential realism for AI traffic simulations and ensures that enthusiasts can witness East Africa’s prominent carrier operating the modern Dreamliner. Below, you’ll find a step-by-step process guiding you through the integration of these textures into your simulator environment.

Unique Aspects of This Boeing 787-8 Repaint

The included textures reflect Ethiopian Airlines’ distinctive color scheme, a design recognized worldwide for its signature pan-African band along the fuselage and the airline’s emblematic tail motif. This Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, constructed primarily with advanced composite materials, is known for its enhanced fuel efficiency and refined aerodynamics. Ethiopian Airlines utilizes the 787 on extensive transcontinental routes and remains one of the leading operators in Africa, making this repaint highly relevant for virtual long-haul traffic.

Compatibility and Model Requirements

This repaint set operates in conjunction with the CamSim AI Boeing 787-8 model (files package name: CAMSIM788AI_X.ZIP). You must install the freeware base package from the Fly Away Simulation library. The author, Camil Valiquette, meticulously designed both the 3D model and paint configuration, ensuring full alignment with AI traffic demands.

Installation Guidelines

1. Place the new texture folder within the main CamSim AI Boeing 787-8 directory.
2. Append the configuration entry shown below into your aircraft.cfg file under the same directory.
3. Be sure to update the “[fltsim.x]” line with the appropriate sequence number, such as [fltsim.1] or higher.

Important Note for Windows 7 Flyers

Users running FSX on Windows 7 may notice missing aircraft components at dawn or dusk if “Preview DirectX 10” is checked. Unselecting that option under Options > Settings > Display > Global typically resolves any rendering issues.

Additional Details

As an AI-oriented livery, this package is designed primarily for traffic scenarios rather than user-controlled flight. Nevertheless, it closely replicates Ethiopian’s modern Dreamliner fleet in terms of visual fidelity, thereby intensifying immersion at domestic and international airports within your AI environment. Created for those who appreciate accurate airline representations, this repaint stands out due to the precise color matching and attention to finer details like windows, doors, and logo placement, all accomplished by developer Camil Valiquette.
