FSX Air New Zealand Boeing 787-9 V2

This enhanced release offers a complete freeware package of the Boeing 787-9 in Air New Zealand’s livery, featuring a refined model and advanced ground operations. It introduces new animation capabilities along with user-friendly installation steps to ensure a smooth experience in FSX. Created and painted by Camil Valiquette of CamSim, it accurately represents the long-haul capabilities of this twin-engine wide-body aircraft.

Overview of the Package

The version 2 build delivers an improved fuselage design and incorporates Animated Ground Servicing, often referred to as AGS. This system offers ground vehicles and boarding elements when parked, which helps simulate real-world airport procedures. The add-on’s design showcases Air New Zealand’s distinctive branding on the Boeing 787-9 platform. The 787-9 variant itself is known for its optimized aerodynamic profile and composite airframe, which provide excellent range and fuel efficiency. All visual details are meticulously executed by Camil Valiquette, who ensures each livery element displays precisely in FSX.

Installation Details

• Extract all contents from the compressed file to your main FSX “Airplane” folder.
• If you have not installed any previous AGS aircraft by this author, open the “Effects.zip” file and copy its contents into the FSX “Effects” folder. This step ensures correct night lighting.

Ground Service Animations

This aircraft model utilizes AGS. To engage the relevant animations, set up or confirm the following key assignments under the simulator’s controller settings:

• Shift + E opens or closes the main passenger doors.
• Shift + D toggles the cargo doors.
• Shift + C initiates or ends additional ground service animations.

These key combinations allow access to realistic simulations of boarding steps as well as cargo loading operations, thereby enriching the overall airport ramp atmosphere.

Key Highlights

• Complete model and paint by Camil Valiquette of CamSim.
• Newly refined version 2 structure that refines the airframe’s contours.
• Authentic animated features for enhanced ground handling immersion.
• Fully integrated freeware release tailored for FSX environments.

All these elements combine to recreate an authentic experience of Air New Zealand’s flagship Dreamliner. This modern twinjet is widely recognized for its global route capabilities, and such fidelity within FSX offers virtual pilots an immersive way to explore long-distance operations.
