FSX Air China Boeing 797

Experience an advanced conceptual twin-aisle airliner that merges innovation with a refined cabin layout, all in one freeware package. This enhanced release models Air China's fictional Boeing 797 in a 2-3-2 seating arrangement, accommodating up to 180 passengers. Developed by Camil Valiquette and painted by both Camil Valiquette and Fabian Engeser, it offers a "near elliptical" fuselage silhouette, reflecting thoughtful aerodynamic design. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Flight Simulator X and comes complete with an updated iteration of Animated Ground Servicing (AGS). It is fully freeware, including the base model, made available for enthusiasts here on Fly Away Simulation.

Notable Airframe Characteristics

This iteration of the Boeing 797 concept showcases:

• Optimized Cabin Cross-Section – The distinctive geometry (often described as near elliptical) supports a comfortable 2-3-2 seating plan.
• 180 Pax Capacity – Designed with a mid-size market in mind, accommodating passengers conveniently.
• Revised AGS Setup – Ground animations have been tailored for expedient loading, reflecting the airline’s operational efficiency.

Air China, which is considered one of the major carriers in the region, often operates a modern fleet with innovative approaches to passenger satisfaction. This fictional concept extends that notion into the realm of next-generation aircraft design.

Technical Notes and Creators

This package is crafted by Camil Valiquette, with external coatings by Camil Valiquette and Fabian Engeser. The aircraft concept combines an updated fuselage profile with advanced digital modeling approaches to maintain smooth flight characteristics. Mechanics and visual details align with real-world operational procedures you would expect in mid-range aircraft.

AGS Utilization

This release includes specialized animated ground services. To manage these features:

Shift+E

Open or close the main passenger doors.

Shift+D

Deploy or retract the cargo hatches.

Shift+C

Activate or end all additional ground animations.

Note: Assign your wing fold/unfold function to Shift+C and tail hook to Shift+D within your controls for complete operability.

Installation and Effects

1. Decompress all files into the “Airplane” directory of your simulator.
2. (If you do not already have the AGS files for a Camil Valiquette B787 or A350) Unzip the included Effects file into the main simulator directory. This ensures proper illumination for night scenarios.

Upgrade Highlights

This second version refines the overall structure from the original concept, adding improved geometry and updated textures. The interior accommodates 180 seats in a single-deck layout crafted to replicate modern comfort. Users will appreciate the close attention to detail during taxi, takeoff, and ground handling operations. By installing this mod, simmers can delve into a unique perspective on how future air travel might evolve.
