Well for those that can't be bothered with the very real threat of bird strikes in a sim (if infact they exist) I am SURE M$ will put in an "Animal Density" slider or "Allow Bird Strikes" check box in realism options. So you can shut em off or or make em invincible hehe.
I know I will have some great fun chasing some birds around seein if I cant get some Air Kill

Well if they were Canada geese instead, someone could design a shotgun toting Elmer Fudd to clear the way for a safe landing.

I hope there are other types of birds in FSX. How about Canadian geese? I'd be cool flying 10,000 ft and pass a flock of geese.

Hopefuly FSX is VERY mod friendly and will allow for editing birds "traffic patterns" and adding new birds much like AI.

Maybe the odd Pterodactyl practicing a missed approach.

You can get AI Canadian Geese from Avsim. Haven't tried it myself yet, might give it a go. Looks pretty good to.

The most fun I had in my Turbine Engine Theory class when I was going to school, was the 4 hours we went on about bird ingestion. We watched the slow motion video of the chicken being chopped up by a turbofan. All kinds of good stuff. I like how the FAA regulates engine manufacturers, and how many of what size bird they can ingest before they have problems. ;D
