Flying around Adelaide Australia in the Robinson, I saw cows in a fenced in
area adjacent to a farm house. Anyone seen this or any other sorts of
animals?

Try the fly through the barn in a Jenny kiosk demo, there are chickens in
the barn!

are they "dynamic" or "static"?

Driving on a country lane I was confronted by a herd of cows coming towards
me. The traffic behind would not reverse so I pulled in as tight as
possible in a passing space. But the inevitable happened and a cow tried to
climb over the car. Very frightening and made a real mess of my 6 week old
(bought from new) car.

The insurance form was great fun. Try your own answers

Make of other vehicle:
Colour of Other vehicle:
Registration Number:
Distinguishing feature:
Approximate Speed of other vehicle:
Did the other vehicle stop:
Did the other vehicle sound its horn?
Did it have headlights (dipped or main) switched on?
Did it signal its intentions?

They must have eaten all my "green" grass.
Textures now seem to be changing in FS2002 to autumn.

They couldn't class mine as single vehicle as I was stationary with engine
off. What made it worse was the guy driving the cows gave me a false name
and address. I also knocked on all the local farmhouses and all denied
owning the field. I felt like building a something on the land and then we
would find out who owned it.

dead right there, but six year old child in back screaming with terror is
quite an experience.

I wished Mad Cow disease on every herd for the rest of the holiday.

You should have asked the police to arrange a cow identity parade. Or
given a description to their sketch artist. "That's very close, officer.
Except I think the eyes were beadier. And maybe a bit longer in the
udder."

Are they animated? I'll actually break down and buy the 2004 upgrade if this is
the case!

Around here its not the cows you have to watch out for - its moose.
Just as big as a cow but a lot higher on the legs. When you hit those
things at 100-110Km/h they like to go through windshields and
tear car roofs off!

Not uncommon to hear of 1 or 2 per week.
