Hello All,
My children do not believe me when i say they will be able to see Elephants and other wild animals roaming the plains of Africa whilst flying in FSX. Until i manage to get FSC sucessfully installed on my PC (see previous post  ), can anyone please take some pics of Elephants on the ground so i can prove to them that it is true.
There was a screenshot on a previous post of some Dolphins in the sea - am i correct in assuming that the Dolphins actually swim (i.e move) or are they 'fixed'. ?
Would be very grateful for any Elephant or any other animal pics you may comr across on yr mini safari 
Masai Mara in Kenya (Keekerok Lodge) or Amboseli in Kenya would be a good place to fly over .
Many thanks |

OK, show your kids this:
Some elephants:
And some zebras:
All the animals are animated, and move around. |

I haven't flown in Africa yet, but since animals are handled similarly to aircraft by FSX, I'd bet it won't be too long before we start seeing pink elephants and flying pigs. CrashGordon

Zoo Simulator?  Surely this should be categorized as a Game?
Anyhow... yet another item to be added to my shopping list. Boy, this is getting expensive 
I wonder... is the Zoo Game compatible with FSX just like all the other add-ons?
I gotta take a break - you guys are spinning me out   |

Ride the elephants...The blue bus...is calling us...
You're not making this any easier Faucett -- I know what elephants are... but 'The blue bus'? Oh yea, I know the "Magic Bus' if this helps  |

And I thought "The End" was one of my all-time favorite songs... where's the "Blue Bus' in that?
OT: Do you know the meaning of 'Mister Mojo Rising' in L.A Woman? |

"The blue bus is callin us
The blue bus is callin us
Driver, where you taken us
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery"
And I think Morrison was talking about himself in "LA Woman" |

I like any kind of new addition in FS...Even if this addition is some wild Animals even the moving Boats or Sailboats.
You gave us a nice feedback with your great shots Faucett. |

Bad news - you won't live to be a hundred
