Forwood Farm | v1.2.0 Update
This is another massive update focused on more aggressive optimization for Xbox. Every model has been touched on once again to improve distance popping on Xbox, as well as to further reduce the texture memory footprint!
Overall, this update reduces texture memory by another 212 MB in the hangar and 343 MB at the runway spawn! You can view the lengthy update writeup on the Emerald Scenery Design Discord.
