AI Hainan Airlines Boeing 787-8

This repaint set offers a vivid recreation of Hainan Airlines’ distinctive color scheme tailored for an AI-compatible Boeing 787-8. Developed by Camil Valiquette, it serves as an add-on texture package and requires the separate freeware CamSim AI base model. This highly detailed livery captures authentic fuselage designs, delivering a realistic sight of Hainan’s Dreamliner aircraft in your simulated traffic environment.

Technical Details of the Hainan 787 Design

Hainan Airlines, headquartered in Haikou (on China’s island province of Hainan), deploys this wide-body aircraft on various medium-to-long-haul routes. The Boeing 787-8 itself is recognized for its composite fuselage structure, fuel-efficient engines, and advanced flight deck layout. This AI repaint focuses on accurately depicting the airline’s red and yellow tail elements, blending them seamlessly over the Dreamliner’s streamlined body and highlighting the wing flex that is characteristic of this modern twinjet.

Installation Process for the AI Texture Set

1. Place the unzipped texture folder into your existing CamSim AI Boeing 787-8 base model directory. The original model (CAMSIM788AI_X.ZIP) can be sourced separately.
2. In the aircraft.cfg file of the CamSim AI 787-8, insert the following text block. Change [fltsim.x] to the next consecutive fltsim number:
   
   [fltsim.x]

Compatibility Guidance for Windows 7 Users

To avoid missing elements such as transparent parts during dawn or dusk flights in FSX, ensure the Preview DirectX 10 option is unchecked in your simulator’s display settings. This adjustment helps preserve the aircraft textures under low-light conditions, preventing texture anomalies.
