FSX Qantas Boeing 787-8 V2

This release highlights a second-generation rendition of a popular wide-body, complete with integrated ground operations and a refined aerodynamic profile. CamSim Aviation Simulation created and painted this package, ensuring compatibility with FSX and including the full base model. Enthusiasts of modern jet travel, especially those seeking an authentic Australian carrier experience, will find much to explore in this freeware package.

Refined Exterior and Advanced Animations

This rendition by Camil Valiquette integrates an improved external model and animated ground servicing (AGS), which stands for Animated Ground Servicing. These active services supply vehicles and openable compartments, allowing users to simulate real-world handling procedures. The reworked fuselage geometry also aims to enhance realism during flight and on the ramp.

Unique Australian Airline Representation

This version features Qantas, a carrier recognized for long-distance itineraries and a distinctive tail livery. The complete visual package captures the airline’s signature design, making it ideal for sim pilots eager to replicate actual routes flown by this flagship fleet. In addition, the Dreamliner’s real-world efficiency—along with its high-comfort cabin layout—has been thoughtfully mirrored here.

Installation Guidance

• Unzip all files into your main “Airplane” directory within FSX.
• If you have not previously installed an AGS aircraft from the same developer, also unpack the Effects.zip into the main FSX folder to ensure night effects function properly.

Operating the Ground Support Functions

This aircraft incorporates multiple service animations through specific key combinations. To manage various doors and hatches, use the following instructions:

• Passenger Entry: Press Shift+E to open or close passenger doors.
• Cargo Bay: Press Shift+D to toggle cargo doors.
• Animations (AGS): Press Shift+C to initiate or end ground support services (including vehicles and other interactive elements).

The above functions require assigning the following controls within your simulator’s options menu:

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