Realism to the edge: birdstrikes!

Let me show you what happens in X-Plane, when you get through a fleet of well-sized birds on 150 kts!


Well, pretty much what in reality: BIRDSTRIKE!
During my takeoff roll from runway 21L at LGAV, and just after lift-off, a fleet of birds was flying above the runway (at about 100ft) and -as I wasn't aware of it- I got through with 150 kts!!

It seems that I hit a large amount of birds: exept from the dirty windscreen, I also lost both my engines and got a tire blown!! Great damage, I just managed to get down again!

The aircraft is the wonderfull freeware 757-200. Great attention to the detail on the 3D model, superb flight dynamics and realistic panel!
