In the FSX demo I have Advanced Animations ticked, Autogen at normal (but
higher doesn't help) Scenery at max but I don't have any seagulls around the
lighthouse. Is there some other setting I need to do? Also, on the
microlight in VC I don't see any hands or arms. I would have thought that my
rig should be able to display these things (AMD Athlon64 3000+, 1GB PC3200
DDR RAM, Geforce 6600GT 128MB) so what gives folks?

Ian,
I can't seem to see any animal life either. I have all the scenery
sliders turned up, and I have been flying in the area where others have seen
birds, but I haven't seen any myself. Strange...

Yes I saw the strip when you first posted it boB and I tried in the B206
flying at various altitudes and positions to no avail. Strange!

Yes. When my sliders were down to mid range the roofs even has letters
on them. ALL of them. I'll find a picture.

Hi RandyL,
There are no animals included in the Demo'.

The seagulls come from a different part/function...

On second inspection that is exactly what is happening.
In your shot of the helicopter landing on the helipad, you can see an ILS
hold short line and a runway hold short line on a roof, as well as
"current" (black with yellow lettering) and "intersection" (yellow with
black lettering) taxiway lettering, and runway lettering (red with white)
on the other roofs.

I took screencaps showing the approach but that was some time ago so I
hope I have them. If not I'll try Frapps and record an approach. That
Cruise Ship helipad is quite large. Some of the oil rigs are really tight.

Aakkk Sorry. I just now read you were talking about the airplanes. I
have to say I cheated.
