Bird Strikes?
Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 12:39 pmDoes FSX model bird strikes? and if it does does it look like this when one hits your windscreen?
In one of the missions you hid a bird. No graphic representation of any sort though...
...shame...

Just wait for an add-on developer to make one complete with effects on the aircraft...The Aerosoft AES does so much...the jetways actually do line up with the aircraft and not with one, but all aircraft compatible with FS9...It adds a follow me car, pushback tracks that actually signal you to start engines and such...Very cool...Now, come FSX, the add-on developers have so much more to put their creative minds into

And a foot to the right would have gone straight into the engine, which would not have been a good thing at all...

You prat, a birds life isn't just something to be laughed off, and the damage to the plane could have been critical, grow up
LOL lighten up man!
Nope, Steven's right, bird strikes are no joke, and not something to be laughed at...

Aren't bird strikes, if the bird ain't the size of a Condor generally uncritical for the engines?

Yes, for the most part a bird (even large ones) injested into a modern turbofan will not cause any damage. In fact prior to certification 'dead' chickens and turkeys are launched into the intake of running engines to ensure no damage is done. Chunks of ice are also used to test the engines. They are very robust pieces of engineering.
