AI Norwegian Boeing 787-8

Expand your simulation's AI traffic with this carefully crafted Norwegian Boeing 787-8 repaint, designed by Camil Valiquette for the CamSim AI base package. These freeware textures allow enthusiasts to depict Norwegian’s signature Dreamliner while maintaining top-notch fidelity in FSX environments. The add-on focuses on accuracy, shading, and unique visual details, yet requires the separate CamSim 787-8 AI model previously published. Accuracy is ensured through multiple reference points, ensuring a faithful portrayal of the airline’s distinctive branding and overall geometry.

Aircraft Technical Foundation

The Boeing 787-8, often referred to as the Dreamliner, is a twin-engine, wide-body airliner that leverages composite materials, offering enhanced fuel efficiency and operational range for its operators. Norwegian, a well-known low-cost carrier headquartered in Norway, has employed the 787 for medium- to long-haul segments. Its sleek profile, coupled with optimized aerodynamics, contributes to the aircraft’s overall performance. This CamSim rendition, produced by developer Camil Valiquette, simulates these traits to suit AI traffic deployments across virtual skies.

Key Livery Characteristics

• Brand-Specific Markings: Norwegian’s unique red nose and tail markings reflect the airline’s contemporary identity.
• Fuselage Clarity: High-resolution textures maintain clarity across the curved engine nacelles and fuselage sections.
• Balanced Reflectivity: Reflections have been calibrated for daytime and low-light operations, enhancing the polished appearance without overwhelming the scene.

Base Model Requirement

This repaint relies on the freeware CamSim 787-8 AI foundation. Ensure you have obtained those files from the Fly Away Simulation library to achieve full compatibility with these textures. The aircraft model and paint scheme both originate from Camil Valiquette, so installing his base package is essential.

Notes for Windows 7 Users

Some render elements might disappear at dawn or dusk if DirectX 10 Preview is selected in FSX. Disable “Preview DirectX 10” under your simulator’s Global Display options if you observe any anomalies, ensuring the livery shows correctly at all times of day.
