!! GET A COPY OF THIS SCENERY WHEN YOU PURCHASE THE GOT FRIENDS WILGA !!
Emerald Scenery Design has partnered with Got Friends to bring you this rendition of Forwood Farm! This is a stand-alone version for those who may be interested in the scenery, but not the Got Friends Wilga. However, for those interested in the Wilga, this scenery is bundled with every purchase!
WELCOME TO FORWOOD FARM!
Forwood Farm (EGH2) is a quiet farm airstrip in the countryside of East Retford in the UK. The airstrip is a popular Caravanner location with miles of trails to explore and is also home to towplanes.uk which operates the PZL Wilga 35A G-BUNC offering towing services from banners to gliders around the UK.
This scenery has been created in partnership with Got Friends who traveled to Forwood Farm to record sounds from G-BUNC for their Wilga addon. Mykrode and 270inc played a huge role in the modeling and texturing of assets for this project.
Forwood Farm has been brought to life in incredible detail, using nearly all custom libraries which have been directly integrated into the package, requiring no dependencies. This is a rarity of Emerald Scenery Design addons and will not become the norm, but due to the collaborative nature of this package, and the fact that it has also been bundled with the Got Friends Wilga, it needed to be stand-alone!

NOTAMs
- Hangar Door is closed on Reload
If you reload your flight while inside of the Hangar, the Hangar Door will be closed and can only be opened by slewing outside of the trigger area and back in. We are actively looking for a solution to this. - Hangar Door Animation Snapping
When slewing in and out of or transitioning through the trigger box quickly, the open and close animations of the hangar will reset causing the door to snap open quickly. We are actively looking for a solution to this.
