IMPORTANT – LIBRARY REQUIRED!
Emerald Object Library (Also available on Marketplace) is required for this scenery to display as intended! Not installing the library will result in most models not showing throughout the scenery. Emerald Object Library is our own in-house common model library which allows us to push most model specific fixes across multiple products at once, as well as keep the required space of our addons to a minimum by eliminating duplicates in each project.
Welcome to Davidson!
Davidson Strip is located on the southernmost end of Amber Lake. The airstrip has been completely rebuilt from the ground up using custom 3d trees and vegetation! A number of the missing lakes and ponds surrounding Amber Lake now have a water surface defined and have been flattened to allow for float plane operations. Several docks have also been placed around Amber and a few other lakes and ponds, as well as some water overlay issues fixed in the vicinity of the airport. Tree placement has also been redone at and around the airstrip for greater accuracy.
Features
- 30cm/px, AI-enhanced aerial imagery covering the airstrip & color-matched to the surrounding terrain.
- Custom Gravel and Dirt ground materials with NRM textures for PBR and added detail.
- Custom environmentals including Weeds, Wildflowers, Native Shrubs, 3D Trees, Rocks, and Logs.
Dynamic Features
- Bear – Can be found roaming the marshy area to the South of the Airstrip. Will go into hibernation when temperatures fall below freezing.
- Butterflies – Visible around flowers from May through September. Includes 4 different Alaska native variations! Will not show when Rain or Snow is reported.
- Rain Puddles – Appear when Rain has been reported in the area.
- VFX – Burn Barrel & Campfire VFX will appear once temperatures fall to 50℉/10℃ or below.
