Your world is about to feel a lot more alive thanks to nearly 13,000 newly placed animals across the world in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Watch lions roam the African plains, witness crocodiles intimidate in swamps, and be in awe of the variety of whales that dominate the seas.
Every animal included has been created with high-quality, performance-friendly 3D modelling enriched with PBR, and detailed texturing. Experience authentic sounds from each creature as you fly past, and enjoy a different experience each time with the randomly generated audio effects.
5 new missions will also be added to your simulator, giving you the chance to get up close and personal with each creature and learn amazing new facts about each.

I was skeptical at first but got it anyway because it seemed like a great idea. After a few days with it I can say that I really do like this add on. It adds more depth to low level flights especially helicopters. Fun to do some aerial safari trips. No impact at all on performance. Animals do have some animations but they also become quite repetitive after watching for more than a couple minutes. I think that’s to be expected all things considered so I’m not bothered by that. The sounds each animal makes are cool, if not sometimes hilarious.
Only gripe is I have flown over 20+ POI spots marked as “geese” on the map and have not seen a single goose. Not in the or or on the ground. Done so many slow passes, hovers at various altitudes and still not a single goose have appeared. Tried various weather conditions too. Nothing.
Also finding non native animals like Gorillas and Lions near Half Moon Bay seems a bit odd? Maybe there is a wildlife park there that I don’t know about?
All in all it’s a very nice add on that covers the planet with no region packs to buy.
