I thought I’d start a thread focusing on the Flora & Fauna we see on our travels in 2024-world. Quite a few people appear to be enjoying getting out of their aircraft and taking a hike, which should not be too surprising, really. So, on your hikes, what plants & animals pique your interest? Post you…

From SU6 beta release notes: Continuing the discussion from Release Notes - SU6 Beta 1.8.5.0 - July 6, 2026 : Legacy fauna POIs are no longer searchable on the world map as these were not matching with the new global fauna system Improved Normal Map of Pinus Sylvestris, Pinus Pinaster and Arte…

The “new fauna system” is the default that is born with msfs 2024 (it is a dynamic and very complicated spawning system using heatmaps for species distribution, with animals reacting to users, season, time of day and so) The legacy fauna POIs are the one coming from 2020, using static worldscript, …

Surely you have installed the Jurassic Park addon?

Now I really wish I had the BETA! I’m going to try it out on SU5 tomorrow :t_rex:
