FSX Avianca Boeing 787-8

Explore this detailed freeware Boeing 787-8 package featuring Avianca’s signature livery. It originates from CAMSIM Aviation Simulation, with all modeling and painting carried out by Camil Valiquette. Enthusiasts seeking a twin-aisle Dreamliner with an intuitive ground services system will appreciate the refined animations and streamlined installation steps, all tailored for this specific simulator platform.

Key Design Enhancements

This version represents the second generation of CAMSIM’s Boeing 787-8 framework, designed to capture the aircraft’s defining features. The 787-8, often referred to as part of the Dreamliner series, incorporates composite materials and efficient engine technology. Avianca, a major carrier in Latin America, uses this modern wide-body to link important destinations worldwide. In this package, the exterior finish aligns with Avianca’s recognizable color scheme, merging realism and smooth performance.

Improved Ground Servicing (AGS)

To add more authenticity, CAMSIM’s model incorporates Animated Ground Servicing (AGS). This feature deploys selectable actions like opening passenger doors and cargo compartments. The sequence integrates smoothly with the platform’s ground vehicles, and it allows users to simulate complete pre-flight and post-flight operations with minimal effort. AGS is initiated through custom keystrokes, described below.

Essential Simulation Controls

Assign these commands in the simulator’s control menu under Buttons/Keys to manage every animated element:

• Press Shift+E for main passenger door manipulation.
• Press Shift+E+2 for smaller cargo bay access (supports default ground vehicle operation).
• Press Shift+D for primary cargo door movements (tail hook command).
• Press Shift+C to start or end general ground servicing actions (wing fold command).

These bindings enable precise door configurations, ensuring seamless cargo loading and passenger boarding sequences. They also provide flexibility in adjusting the aircraft state during different phases of flight simulation.

Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to install the aircraft into the simulator environment:

1. Extract all files into the “Airplane” directory inside your chosen simulator’s main folder.
2. If you are installing a CAMSIM AGS aircraft for the first time, locate the Effects.zip file and unzip its contents directly into the main simulator directory so that the night-lighting effects are placed in the referenced Effects folder. This step ensures proper illumination and visual accuracy.

Once these tasks are complete, the Boeing 787-8 should be ready for immediate use. The high-resolution exterior paint, along with the interior visual model, aims to replicate the real aircraft’s appearance both at the gate and during flight operations.
