Was playing around in the demo and was hovering a chopper above a cruise ship and noticed a whole flock of albatrosses flying around above. I decided to follow some around a bit and the way they fly around is incredibly convincing! Kudos to Microsoft for getting the flight behaviour of the birds to look realistic.I then decided to land beneath the birds and looked up. The way they flew around just blew me away! I've seen other addon birds for FS9 and they are nowhere near as convincing (sorry don't mean to offend any developers out there).Another FSX plus.James

I agree, was pleasently suprised at how fluid the animal animations were myself, love the giraffes cruising around the savannah.Regards, MichaelKDFW

Yes,they were fab in the demo. Haven;t seen them any other place than there, though. Anyone been luckier?

I'm still waiting to see any animals. Looking at the files on my system there only appear to be giraffes,elephants,zebra,orca,hump back whales and birds. I'm looking forward to a) seeing some of these and :( add on developers adding a lot more types. :-)

Ive also seen files refering to dolphins and grizzly bears.

At the FSX site it says that there is live stock and wild animals in the sim, i havent seen any of them yet, execpt for that one mission and a bird at TNCM :D. I was under the impression that animals was a big new thing in this version "dynamic living world", i guess not.

>I was under the>impression that animals was a big new thing in this version>"dynamic living world", i guess not.I'm sure I want too much of it... just the odd sheep or cow would do!

But there are no people.

pics? no pics? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!!! lol, jk :) but pics would be cool :)

Not true. You just need to know where to look.

ive just seen birds flying,,,,took me ages to get my setting right just so i could fly around the new york area and as i finally managed to get around 18fps i flew down to the statue of liberty and there was a small flock flying around it.Andrew
