Check the latest previews of the impressive PZL-104 Wilga, the next aircraft from Got Friends

The talented folks at Got Friend continue to make significant strides in the development of their PZL-104 Wilga for Microsoft Flight Simulator. It’s a project we have been following since it was announced nearly two months ago, and today we are bringing you the latest advancements in this promising new bush airplane for MSFS!

The last time we checked on the Wilga, Got Friends had just released a beautiful trailer video showcasing the aircraft in all its glory, including some of the cool features that will come with it. Since then, the team has continued to work on further improvements, finishing up effects for the skis and icing.

One of the coolest features in the Wilga will be the functional wipers, which will realistically clean up the windshield from rain drops. It’s an effect that has been sorely missing from the simulator, with just a few developers attempting to create a working custom solution. The Wilga seems to be getting the most advanced iteration yet!

Got Friends has also been working on an “interactive camping module” for the Wilga, which should add some fun to the package when you’re not flying the airplane. It’s unclear right now what exactly this feature will add to the experience… but speaking about camping, the Wilga should go along perfectly with the brilliant Campout utility that was just released by //42!

We also learned that Got Friends would offer a few different variants of the aircraft, which will come with their own special set of features. See all the details about each one below, including avionics options, exhaust differences, autopilot availability, and more:

All in all, the Wilga continues in very active development (it’s now in alpha testing) and right on schedule for a release later this year. We regularly get new details from Got Friends about this project, so stay tuned for further updates over the coming weeks.
