June 26, 20223 yr Other than occasional flight deck visits by my cats, I have never encountered an animal in MSFS.

June 27, 20223 yr Well, to answer the question, no. I have only seen animals when I did a Botswana flight or two for the purposes of seeing them. But I don’t think that’s weird. The planes that most people fly and the places they generally fly them would generally preclude animal encounters. Add to that, most of the time, you are at an altitude where they would be hard to notice, even if they are there. This being a flight sim, I find their inclusion a little strange. Large migratory birds, yes. Bears? Not so sure, but whatever, it’s cool.
June 27, 20223 yr Never spotted any "spontaneously" but seen loads in places they have done safari type mods for. Having to abort a landing as a herd of Elephants decided to cross the runway in Okavango Delta was one of my most memorable MSFS moments! Edited June 27, 20223 yr by The Moose
June 27, 20223 yr Unless you count cat on keyboard induced diversion from stable flight - no not really. In real life, down here in OZ, a low flyby to chase roo's and sheep off a grass strip is sort of mandatory in many areas I noticed the recent Trent Palmer FAA case in the US has some people suggesting it sets a precedent that makes flyby runway inspections below 500' illegal now in the US ? Seems counterproductive.. https://www.avweb.com/flight-safety/faa-regs/youtuber-trent-palmers-license-suspended/ Edited June 27, 20223 yr by Glenn Fitzpatrick
June 27, 20223 yr I can so relate to the puppy jumping on your lap when rotating. I get a cat pushing my legs on one side of me and my dog on the other demanding affection when I take off sometimes. 🙂

June 27, 20223 yr On 6/26/2022 at 5:52 AM, David Mills said: My own answer is no. The only animals I've encountered were those I deliberately sought to find. Actually, I did, and that was even right on release day, IIRC. I was streaming for some friends, finally able to show them MSFS (after having to keep quiet about it during the Alpha) and they were requesting flights in various areas of the globe. Someone requested a flight through Yosemite National Park, and there were some bears around. 🙂 EDIT: I found the post from August 18th 2020: Edited June 27, 20223 yr by Der Zeitgeist
