FSX LOT Polish Airlines Boeing 787-8

Experience the refined LOT Polish Airlines Boeing 787-8 package built with enhanced animations, functional ground servicing capabilities, and a fully realized exterior model. This freeware release, created by Camil Valiquette (CamSim), provides a detailed depiction of the advanced wide-body jet known for its composite airframe and efficient performance.

Aircraft Overview

The Boeing 787-8, frequently referred to as the “Dreamliner,” delivers next-generation aerodynamics, reduced fuel usage, and a quieter cabin environment. LOT Polish Airlines, the flag carrier of Poland, has incorporated this type into its long-distance fleet, enabling better route coverage between Europe and international destinations. Model design and livery work in this package have been carefully produced by Camil Valiquette.

Key Features

• Version 2 Design: This release employs updated external modeling along with newly refined textures, creating an accurate representation of the airframe.
• Animated Ground Servicing (AGS): Integrated handling functions include realistic passenger door operations and service equipment deployment.
• Advanced Door Controls: Multiple door animations provide realistic gate operations, from cargo hatches to boarding entrances.

Installation Guide

1. Unzip all contents directly into the “Airplane” directory of Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

2. (Skip this step if you own any other aircraft by the same developer featuring AGS.) Extract the Effects.zip into the primary Flight Simulator X folder so that the files locate into the “Effects” subdirectory.

Activating Animations

This package incorporates specialized ground servicing functions. Use the following commands:

• Press Shift+E to toggle the main doors.
• Press Shift+E+2 for the secondary rear cargo hatch (supports built-in ground animations in FSX).

• Press Shift+C to launch or stop the ground service animations.

To access these capabilities, assign the following within Flight Simulator X under Options › Settings › Controls › Buttons/keys › Change Assignment...:
