The birds......the birds.....

Spotted this ship this morning in the St Juliana bay moored quite close to shore.

Image

Quite surprised as I hadn't seen it there before so I went to investigate in the Robinson. Lovely model and textures eh? When I got close I saw the brds flying over it

Image

Dunno whether anyone else has seen em - if so, sorry - but it's a first for me. And very effective they were too even if they were textureless and all black!

But I haven't seen any animals - has anyone?

Can you crash into them...with blood going everywhere and you're engine stopping?

Yes, but if you do it intentionally, in the UK the virtual RSPCA contacts the CAA and your sim flying licence is revoked.

It's just not worth it - plus you have the job of cleaning the blood and guts off your aircraft before you can shut down your PC for the night.....

Actually, no. I'll go take a shot real quick. Give me about 20 min for my FSX to boot up though. ;)

does this make bird strikes a possibility. stupid question i know (obviously no) but would be an interesting feature to the realism.

Like 'em RollerBall! Can't wait to see some whales (As said in the gamespot video), elephants, giraffes and all other animals.

I wonder if they have Clippers dog in there somewhere ;D

Ah cool! Then I guess they'd make the subtitle "a millennium of flight" ;D

And it would be cool to do some formation flying with a coule of Pteradactylons ;D
