Demo Lesson Learned: Seagulls Must Work!

Ya know it's funny. Before we released the FSX demo the online forums where flooded with posts decrying our decision to include "wildlife" in the game. Posts like, "why are they including elephants when they won't improve the flight model's dual-gizmo-thing-a-ma-whatsit!!!" Yeah, we thought about letting the artists program flight models, but...

Of course, now that folks have had a chance to try the demo they've apparently turned into an army of birdwatchers with threads on both AvSim and SimFlight trying to figure out where the seagulls are. In truth there are probably some missing textures in the demo and the birds are dependently on scenery settinfgs. They should be much easier to find in the final product. In the meantime, it's heartening to know you really did want animals after all! <sniff><sniff>
