Sofly Animals released (no pun intended)

The Netherlands are packed with cows, sheep and pigs in real life but Sofly hasn't placed any in my country according to the sheet. Only horses on the Veluwe. I wonder on what base they made the choices of locations.

Same in Ireland, you know the land of sheep and cows, but nada...baaaaaa! Only some horses in Connemara National Park and nothing else. I don't really understand their selection of location either and it seems rather limited. I would prefer if they spent more time placing animals in more locations than the 'educational' voice overs which I think virtually no one will bother with. It would be great if they even provided a tool where the user could place animals themselves, a bit like Parallel 42's Camping App allows you to with camping gear. At least then we could apply animals to wherever we want and populate the world.

The tool is already available; in form of msfs sdk.

Very likely they choice the route of 'fancy stuff' animated creatures; however it come with limitations as frames rates and loading time take its tool if over done. The other route is a more straight forward direction; static with more animals and less objects polygons.

no Crocodiles in Bristol is a deal breaker

My biggest gripe with these things is that so far, third party devs suck at doing convincing animations. So far, Asobo is the only one that has done good animations for humans and animals but I chalk that up to their experience with making "normal" games like A Plague Tale.
