Birds (BETA)

Post by par »

So it is - the birds are now flying in YoWindow sky.
In the new RC, of course.

They appear not long after you have opened YoWindow.

Pay attention that birds don't fly if one of the following conditions is met
- In the night
- temperature < -10
- temperature > 30
- wind speed > 15 m/s
- In heavy rain or snow

Do you agree with these rules?

It took a long time for us to release this feature.
We have started the work several months ago.
Today we are opening a preview - a beta version of "Birds" feature.

The effect is available for Village landscape only.

The birds effect has been developed for us by Alexandr Parshin - our friend living in Vladivostok,
this is the far east of Russia.

It is very important for us to make this effect as much unobtrusive as possible.
We don't want an option to show/hide birds.
If you find birds irritating (always or at moments), let me know.

Do you like birds?
We need your opinion to fine-tune the effect to perfection.

Hi Pasha,

I'm still looking and looking and waiting .... no birds! :(
May be behind the hills? ;)

I can only say I have a three-letter word for this:

W. O. W.

In other words: please don't even consider removing them :twisted:

Very beautiful the effect of birds. His presence in the landscape is refreshing as it is in nature.

Hi Pasha,

now it's working perfect (sorry for reporting the bug ;) )
Many thanks to Alexandr!
Hope we didn't get a concentration of birds like in Hitchkock's film "the birds" :D
