Well for those that can't be bothered with the very real threat of bird strikes in a sim (if infact they exist) I am SURE M$ will put in an "Animal Density" slider or "Allow Bird Strikes" check box in realism options. So you can shut em off or or make em invincible hehe.

I know I will have some great fun chasing some birds around seein if I cant get some Air Kill Roll Eyes

Well if they were Canada geese instead, someone could design a shotgun toting Elmer Fudd to clear the way for a safe landing. Grin

I hope there are other types of birds in FSX. How about Canadian geese? I'd be cool flying 10,000 ft and pass a flock of geese.

Hopefuly FSX is VERY mod friendly and will allow for editing birds "traffic patterns" and adding new birds much like AI.

You can get AI Canadian Geese from Avsim. Haven't tried it myself yet, might give it a go. Looks pretty good to.

The most fun I had in my Turbine Engine Theory class when I was going to school, was the 4 hours we went on about bird ingestion. We watched the slow motion video of the chicken being chopped up by a turbofan. All kinds of good stuff. I like how the FAA regulates engine manufacturers, and how many of what size bird they can ingest before they have problems. Grin
