How to see animals while flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator

 

Microsoft Flight Simulator will never cease to amaze us with everything it offers. Not only can you see your house from the sky , it is also possible to see animals in their natural habitat while you are at the controls of the plane. Yes, you read it right. You can go on safari without leaving home. It's not bad at all! However, first you have to know where to fix the point of interest, otherwise it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If you want to get out of the routine of going from point A to point B and enjoy incredible views, as well as seeing animals in the wild, you just have to keep reading this guide. I am going to explain to you step by step what you have to do to see animals while you fly. The game's developers, Asobo Studio, have made it very easy to search for all kinds of wildlife. Right now there are 26 points of interest with animals. Don't expect to see big cats , for now there are mostly elephants, seagulls, giraffes, gray bears and little else.

How to see animals while you fly

Get comfortable, grab your favorite drink and something to eat, a trip awaits you that will leave you open-mouthed. Once you are ready you have to open the game and go to the world map. On the left, in the search bar, you have to enter the word fauna . You will get a series of results. They are points of interest where there are animals. Simply select a location, set it as output, and click Fly . No need to search for the nearest airport. If you select the point of interest as the exit, you will appear directly flying over the place.

Once in the cabin of the plane, I recommend you press the End button to switch to the exterior view and move the camera away, so the field of view is greater and it is easier to see where the animals are. If you wish, you can play with the camera by enlarging the image to see more closely what is on the ground.

When it comes to seeing animals, it is better not to activate the automatic pilot, otherwise you will fly quite high and it is more difficult to see what is on the ground. Much better if you take control of the aircraft and fly as low as possible. Finally, one more thing. Trying to land close to the animals is not a good idea , they will flee far from place.
