They wear special masks though at that altitude.

Nah, I'm a real world pilot (which is why I fly FS in the "old days", so I can taste something I can't in real life), but sitting on flight decks, as
much fun as it is most of the time you start to go crazy when you've flown the same approach and departure 20 times in a week, so I'm
used to it.

any body ever hear of a fish strike? like your flightseeing above the ocean and you're flying really low like 10 feet above the water, (or you
could betaking off in a seaplane) and jumps out of the water and into the prop?

errr...let me think......No!

no i think it is possible.

Unless the the prop scares them away

As said bird strike in FsP are always at low altitude, but sometime the engine don't flame out immediately,
you just have the oil temp that raise until the engine finally broke if you don't do anything
This can take as long as half an hour so much for the "bird at FL35"

And notice there is always a "snap" or low "bang" sound at the time the bird hit your engine.

I was 12,000 over Heathrow from Gatwick en-route Aberdeen when I heard the "snap" - I thought it was Sharon's (flight attendant) knicker
elastic but declared emergency anyway and landed at Luton - sue enough it was a birdstike - I wish thay all had flu! Hey - if Sharon came
to cockpit and gave you coffe and her garter snapped and pinged you in the eye - that would be birdstrike too - well wouldn't it?

[Full_Throttle0]

anybody ever hit a deer? like its standing in the middle of a runway when you land and you hit it?

Prob not nowadays because they have fences all around the airport but maybe at a small airport where there is no fence?

It would kill your landing gear... That could be new failure in FsP

[AndyMac]

End of flight report: Crash, All pssengers died. Gear collapsed upon landing. Cause of the crash thoguth to be a deer mangled in the
brakes...
