For the birds

There's a bit of a dipsy doodle over at Avsim over the idea of implementing birds as part of The Flight Simulator X worldspace. Steve Lacey has covered that to some degree here.  (be sure and read the comments)

The upshot is about the tension between Fligt Sim as a game or as a real world simulator. I tend to think it can/should be both.

Anyway, I came across the links below via our Environment Art Lead John Smith, and thought it was neat.

The site's link is here: https://www.wwt.org.uk/flamingo/

The cool videos of birds in flight are here...

# re: For the birds

I agree, I also think we can have it both ways. Anything less would mean we were'nt making any progress with the sim at all.
