So now i got it FSX running really well, i can start exploring. Now where the h*** are all the wild animals and livestock, The "living world" :). Didnt they make it in to the final, sure there is an elephant and a giraf in one mission, is that it :(.

have to admit I haven't seen any bird or animal yet either (and yes I have it enabled in the settings)

I saw a grizzly bear at the approach end of the runway in the mountain flying tutorial mission. Almost landed on it. Very cool.

There are a few elephants in the Africa game preserve mission when you startup. Never have seen any bears or giraffes though. There are birds around the ships and the lighthouse in the harbor at, I believe, TNCM. Regards, BobF.

Isn't that what the 'Bloom' setting is for?

I think we need an Avsim big game search !:-)

Blooming heck Dave, I thought bloom was to do with the way light haloed around sharp edges of objects in fron t of the light source?

Hi,I saw birds around the cargo ships in Boston harbor when taking off from KBOS.Later,Jon

I've only seen birds around ships when not in a mission. Haven't seen anything else. Dave

So is anybody from Aces prepared to solve this mystery?:-)

I'm not from Aces but I have the answer, advanced animations has to be enabled and the scenery slider has to be dense or higher to see them outside of missions.

I have advanced animations on and the scenery slider on max, still nothing. Well maybe they can be added later on with addons, i just think it kind of sucks when MS says there is wild animals and livestock in the game and there is not.

I saw some cattle grazing in a field next to a small airport I landed at. Can't remember which airfield it was though.

They have all been captured and processed by catering:)John

I saw the hephalumps in one of the missions, but I have yet to see a woozle.Definitely going to look for the grizzly.
