Get Forwood Farm When You Purchase The Got Friends Wilga!
Forwood Farm is included in every purchase of the Got Friends Wilga. // The version offered here is a stand-alone copy for those who may not be interested in the Wilga!
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!

December 7, 2022 | v1.0.0
- Initial Release
We try our best to keep a running list of known issues involving sim limitations and 3rd party conflicts when discovered. When possible, fixing these issues are our top priority. However, they may not be immediately solvable due to limitations.
- Double Airport Icons
[Sim Limitation] If you download or update Forwood Farm without restarting the sim, you may run into a hierarchy issue causing both an “EGH2” and “EGXM | Forwood Farm” airport icon to appear on the airport selection map (and possibly as POI markers). Always restart the sim after installing or updating a product from Marketplace! - Hangar Door is closed on Reload
[Still investigating – Possible sim limitation] 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. - Hangar Door Animation Snapping
[Sim limitation] 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. This is a limitation of the scripts system. - Little Nav Map
[Software limitation – Not likely to be fixed] As LNM cannot read encrypted files, Forwood Farm will not show up on it if purchased from the Marketplace! - Mamudesign’s Solar Panels Still Visible
Because of how package hierarchy currently works for products installed through Marketplace, Mamudesign’s solar panels may still show on the nearby solar field if you have the Marketplace version of Forwood Farm. Marketplace owners can fix this by activating the Package Reorder Tool under Options > General Options > Experimental. Search Forwood in the search bar and click the down arrow until it shows 1 (One). This will give the package priority and allow the exclude to function properly!
