Camels!

[Dangerzone]

Before replying.... please don't take this too seriously!

It's just a thought if ED team were looking for ideas for the next easter-egg/haloween/etc tweak/ silly gift - might be worth considering since we have the Persia Gulf and Syria (The further eastern area), plus Sinai and Australia coming - which I believe all have camels.

The suggestion is for a camel UNIT (not a static object). One were paths could be set to have them walking around through the desert. It could give a bit more immersion (especially for the low flying helicopters) to come across either a caravan of these, or just wild ones out in the option - especially on those longer flights where there's not much but sand about.  Consider it sort of a 'one upmanship' on the cows that we have - and I mean... who doesn't like the cows!   (Couldn't hurt those cinematic videos either).

As mentioned, please don't take this too seriously - I recognize there are far more important things that are needed in DCS, just throwing a random thought out there for a bit of a fun discussion.

I really find that a great idea. A camel caravan in the desert. Could even make a (helo) mission with this where you have to find it, bring supplies or rescue (slingload) a camel

Would love it. Also: Kangaroo! for Australia.

Thinking a bit more about this, i guess i'd also buy the DCS: Wild Animals Asset Pack!

Slingloading a camel. Love it!   While we're at it, we better have an elephant crate so we can do a "Dumbo" drop from the C130 when it's released.
