FSX Hawaiian Airbus A350-800 XWB

This updated freeware release offers a high-fidelity Hawaiian Airbus A350-800 XWB package for FSX enthusiasts seeking a next-gen widebody airliner experience. It introduces refined structural elements, revised cockpit windows, and enhanced ground handling capabilities through advanced animations and interactive cargo operations. Developed and painted by Camil Valiquette of CAMSIM Aviation Simulation, this edition includes a complete model for immediate use in your simulator environment.

Visual and Structural Adaptations

The latest version refines the aircraft’s external shape by incorporating a more aerodynamic nose configuration, reshaped cockpit windows, and newly optimized wing geometry complete with enhanced winglets. These modifications elevate visual fidelity in FSX while improving overall realism. Hawaiian’s distinctive livery is rendered sharply, reflecting the airline’s style with vivid detailing.

Enhanced Ground Support Functions

To enrich ground servicing immersion, the package incorporates CAMSIM’s Animated Ground Servicing (AGS). These custom animations trigger various aircraft doors and service functions:

• Press Shift + E to open or close primary passenger doors.
• Press Shift + E + 2 to manage the small rear cargo doors. This function aligns with FSX’s ground handling features.
• Press Shift + D to control the main cargo doors.
• Press Shift + C to initiate or cease the AGS-driven service vehicle animations.

Users are encouraged to set key assignments in FSX under Options > Settings > Controls > Buttons/Keys to ensure seamless operation of wing fold/unfold (Shift + C) and tail hook (Shift + D). These bindings are essential for maximizing the add-on’s interactive features.

Installation and Deployment Steps

1. Extract the entire content from the compressed archive directly into your FSX “Airplanes” folder.
2. If you have not installed any previous AGS-based aircraft from Camil Valiquette, you must extract the included “Effects.zip” into your main FSX directory. This ensures the night lighting and associated effects function properly.

Once installed, the A350-800 XWB will appear in your FSX aircraft selection menu, complete with Hawaiian’s signature paintwork.
