FSX Qatar Airbus A350-900 XWB V2

Experience an updated rendition of Qatar’s acclaimed Airbus A350-900 XWB, meticulously modeled for use in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. In this version, created by Camil Valiquette, you will notice refined aerodynamic elements, modern cockpit windows, and the latest tail markings inspired by Qatar Airways’ fleet. Enthusiasts will appreciate the improved wing structures and the integrated ground service animations, all offered as a complete freeware package on Fly Away Simulation.

Enhanced Profile and Detailed Visuals

The real Airbus A350-900 is a long-range, wide-body jetliner known for its composite-heavy construction and efficient engines, which improve operating costs while reducing emissions. In this FSX-specific adaptation, you get to see the revised nose shape and updated coloring that reflects the latest Qatar Airways livery. The included textures replicate fine details of the airframe—particularly around the winglets and fuselage rivets—providing an immersive representation of the actual aircraft.

Author and Paintwork

Camil Valiquette is the mind behind this model’s external design and paint scheme. This release builds upon a version first unveiled during the Paris Air Show 2009, presenting signature Qatari tail branding and an adjusted nose line to match the latest production standards. The package is entirely freeware, offering a straightforward install process that ensures you can add it to your virtual hangar with ease.

Key Technical Steps for Installation

• Unzip the aircraft folder into your “Airplane” directory within the main Microsoft Flight Simulator X installation path.
• Unzip the “Effects.zip” file into the simulator’s base “Effects” folder to enable night lighting and various visual elements. If you have Camil Valiquette’s AGS features installed from a previous release, you may skip this step.

The result is a complete setup that merges both external and internal enhancements without needing extra add-ons.

Animated Ground Servicing (AGS) Highlights

This updated rendition includes Animated Ground Servicing, which triggers a variety of ground support vehicles and doors that coordinate with FSX ground operations. Below are the essential command mappings:

Shift + E

Opens and closes the passenger doors.

Shift + E + 2

Manages the smaller rear cargo doors for direct interaction with FSX ground functionality.

Shift + D

Activates main cargo door animations.

Shift + C

Handles specialized animations, including wing fold if configured.

For optimal control, assign “Wing fold/unfold” to Shift + C and “Tail hook up/down” to Shift + D in your simulator’s control settings. This mapping ensures all animations remain responsive and accurately portrayed.

A Glimpse at Qatar Airways Influence

Qatar Airways is recognized globally for maintaining a cutting-edge fleet and impeccable onboard service standards, which perfectly aligns with the Airbus A350’s modern cabin design and advanced avionics. This freeware mod lets you recreate the airline’s operational style in accurate detail, enhanced further by the advanced performance and ground handling characteristics in FSX.

All visuals, structural components, and ground features have been carefully merged into one cohesive package, allowing sim pilots to explore Qatar’s sophisticated approach to passenger and cargo transport.
