Only once looked out for elephants and never saw one. Might be due to my fauna settings which are just about 20 but never really cared since I am primarily flying the tubes at higher altitudes than elephants were ever spotted in real life Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"
June 26, 20223 yr I have fauna turned on all the way and their POI flags set to be shown. I have only randomly came across bears one time in Alaska. Is it done yet? When will it be released? Will it be freeware or payware? How much will it cost? Any updates on the progress? Will it work for Xbox? Can I be a beta tester? How's the performance in VR?

June 26, 20223 yr I’d say the chance of encountering an animal without searching is very low. In my case 0%. I’ve done a fair bit of flying since august 2020. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5
June 26, 20223 yr Only when my darn puppy jumps on my knee just as I'm rotating! 😄 Other than that, never seen any in the sim, although admittedly I've never looked for them.

June 26, 20223 yr Author I might add that, even when I've searched for animals with the fauna filter, I still can't find them. Perhaps we need a 3rd-party add-on that randomly places animals inside the plane on every flight. It might just be a few mice, or an occasional tarantula in the cockpit. It could be "snakes on a plane." Or perhaps hippos could alter the center of gravity on a cargo flight. Or test your piloting skills as you land on a lake filled with hungry piranha in your float plane. PMDG could introduce study-level animals. We could get into ad hominem fights with X-Plane users about MSFS vs. XP12 animals.

A the risk of being chased by a mob with pitchforks and torches, I would add I quite liked the "Animal flights" in FLIGHT! Transporting various fauna, etc. We are all connected.....

I think you're referring to the barren, photogrammetry-induced wasteland that now surrounds Charleston, WV. That's clever!
