Does this work with FranceVfr scenery?

Seriously Nord Ouest (Normandy and surroundings) is my favorite scenery and some seabirds would really jazz it up. And pigeons at the D-Day memorials...

I can't answer your question directly,   but I can say that I have FSDT's Key West and birds appear there both on the tarmac and in the air despite it being a payware airport.   I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I’ve had their other products working just fine at all kinds of payware airports.

I'm not seeing much for England, or am I missing something?

Cliffs of Dover would be cool as hell with shore birds.

Got all of these, and really like 'em. Nothing big and flashy, but when you realise you've just spotted a flock of something when you're at an airport or just cruising around at a few hundred feet it really strikes home how much they add.

Agreed, the "density" of birds is well done in my opinion.  Not overdone (you won't necessarily see them every flight) but it seems to be done at a plausible level.

Are they decent enough in VR? By that I mean the LODs mainly, do they "pop in" extremely close or are the visible in the distance?

The whole "Birds" series is one of the best addons for MSFS in terms of immersion, IMO.
Additionally, the developer is very friendly and reactive.
