AI Thai Boeing 787-8

This freeware release brings a meticulously crafted repaint representing Thai’s Boeing 787-8 as AI traffic. It is purpose-built for compatibility with the CamSim AI aircraft base package (file name: CAMSIM788AI_X.ZIP). The files do not include the original model and you will need to download the mentioned base pack, which is freely available in the Fly Away Simulation library. Developer and painter credits go to Camil Valiquette.

A Focus on the Exterior Scheme

The Thai Airways livery depicted here showcases the airline’s signature color palette across the Boeing 787-8’s fuselage. The real-world 787-8, also known by its nickname “Dreamliner,” features cutting-edge composite constructions and advanced aerodynamics that enable higher efficiency. This AI repaint leverages texture mapping to capture the distinctive tail art, the golden swirls, and the purple fuselage accent. Because this package is made for traffic simulation, it maintains an optimal balance between visual fidelity and performance.

Steps for Injection into Your Simulator

Preparation

• Ensure you have the CamSim AI Aircraft Base Model files (CAMSIM788AI_X.ZIP) already extracted in your Flight Simulator directory.
• Identify any existing “texture” folders so you can properly name the new folder without conflicts.

Configuration Edit

1. Copy the included texture.tg folder into the base CamSim AI Boeing 787-8 directory.
2. Add the snippet below into the aircraft.cfg file located in the same folder. Adjust “[fltsim.x]” to the next available entry number.

Optimizing the Visual Experience

In FSX under Windows 7, incomplete rendering might occur during dawn and dusk if DirectX 10 preview is enabled. To mitigate this, navigate to Options > Settings > Display and uncheck the DirectX 10 box. That will restore full geometry visibility on this Thai Boeing 787-8.

Once installed, this repaint seamlessly populates your virtual skies with Thai Airways traffic, capturing realistic visuals alongside accurate airline identifiers. All thanks go to Camil Valiquette for model design and paintwork, and to the dedicated flight sim community for making this repaint possible.
