FSX LAN Airlines Boeing 787-8 V2

Discover a refined LAN Airlines Boeing 787-8 for FSX that integrates an enhanced structural model and advanced ground service features. This freeware add-on, created by Camil Valiquette of CAMSIM, showcases an improved external design, upgraded animations, and interactive elements suitable for both casual flights and detailed simulation sessions. It includes expanded functionality such as animated passenger doors, cargo compartments, and ground service vehicles, all tailored to complement the FSX environment seamlessly.

Overview of the Model

This version 2 release focuses on refining the visual and technical aspects of the Boeing 787-8. The real-world 787-8 is a wide-body, twin-engine jet known for its composite structure and fuel efficiency. LAN Airlines, a prominent South American carrier, has employed this aircraft on various regional and international routes. In this add-on, you will notice updated exterior contours, precise paint application, and distinctive airline markings that reflect the LAN fleet identity.

Key Features

• Improved Exterior Modeling: Revised geometry for a more realistic look and smoother lines.
• Enhanced Textures & Livery: LAN Airlines paint scheme designed by Camil Valiquette, capturing unique airline branding details.
• Animated Ground Servicing (AGS): Interactive cargo doors, passenger entry points, and service vehicles that operate in sync with user commands.
• Door and Cargo Functions: Easily open and close key aircraft access points using FSX-specific shortcuts.
• Night Effects: Tailored lighting effects that complement evening or low-light operations, requiring a simple installation of included additional files.

Installation Instructions

1. Extract all contents into your primary FSX “Airplane” directory. Ensure that the unzipped folder maintains its internal structure to keep the files organized.
2. If you have not previously installed an AGS-equipped aircraft by the same developer, unzip the “Effects.zip” into your main FSX folder. This step places critical night illumination and other effect files where they belong.

Using the AGS Functions

The aircraft arrives with several keyboard operations that govern doors and ground support:

• Press Shift + E for passenger doors.
• Press Shift + D for cargo openings.
• Press Shift + C to deploy or retract servicing animations.

For these animations to work correctly, verify that you assign the following controls within FSX:

• Wing fold/unfold = Shift + C
• Tail hook up/down = Shift + D
