FSX LOT Polish Airlines Boeing 787-8 V2

This comprehensive freeware package offers a faithful representation of the LOT Polish Airlines Boeing 787-8 with refined geometry and Animated Ground Servicing (AGS). Created by CamSim and developed by Camil Valiquette, this version 2 repaint aligns with the airline’s current livery, providing an up-to-date experience for Flight Simulator X enthusiasts.

Overview

The Boeing 787-8, often referred to as a Dreamliner, is a wide-body airliner engineered for intercontinental routes. LOT Polish Airlines, the flag carrier of Poland, operates this twin-engine jet on various long-haul flights. In this rendition, CamSim and Camil Valiquette present enhanced exterior detailing, complemented by ground handling animations that allow users to simulate authentic preflight and postflight procedures.

Key Features

• Freeware bundle, including the full base model and LOT Polish Airlines repaint.
• Advanced external model updates, improving version 2 aerodynamics and visual nuances.
• Animated Ground Servicing (AGS) that simulates door operations and service units.
• High-quality textures for the latest airline colors.
• Accurate detailing of the Boeing 787-8 airframe.

Installation Instructions

1. Extract the main aircraft folder into your FSX “Airplane” directory.
2. If you have never installed one of the developer’s AGS packages before, also unzip the Effects.zip file into your FSX root folder. The effect files will automatically locate in the “Effects” subfolder.

Using Animated Ground Servicing (AGS)

The integrated AGS functionality brings doors, cargo hatches, and service equipment to life. These animations help simulate ground crew procedures and passenger movements. To access them, use the following commands:

• Press Shift+E to toggle the primary passenger doors.
• Press Shift+E+2 to operate the smaller rear cargo doors, which also work with FSX ground animations.
• Press Shift+D to control the main cargo bay doors.
• Press Shift+C to activate or deactivate other service animations.

Ensure you assign these keyboard shortcuts in FSX by navigating to Options > Settings > Controls > Buttons/Keys > Change Assignment. Set “Wing fold/unfold” to Shift+C and “Tail hook up/down” to Shift+D for full compatibility.

Additional Notes

The visual upgrades introduced in this version 2 package focus on improved fuselage lines and new textures that reflect the airline’s current branding. These details, paired with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner’s recognizable silhouette, provide a heightened immersion level for simmers who appreciate accurate aircraft modeling. Model design and paint remain fully credited to the author, Camil Valiquette, under the CamSim label.
