NOTE: P3Dv3 users should uninstall/reinstall XGauge via the XGauge Installation Wizard (TOOLS menu) to ensure that gauge files are properly updated
– Added compatibility with P3D 3.1.2.15841

* Important Notes:
* You will need to set your paths appropriately in ASN for P3D (simulator installation and simulator appdata path) and restart ASN.
* It is recommended to run P3Dv3 “As administrator” or you may experience logging/ambient errors.
* P3D v3 base install no longer includes legacy simconnect interface. You will need to install the simconnect client from here: [P3Dv3 folder]\redist\Interface\FSX-SP2-XPACK\retail\lib\SimConnect.msi
* ASNext utilizes traditional FSX/P3Dv1/P3Dv2 add-on configuration and file/folder locations – P3Dv3 recommends that add-ons use a brand new system with add-on content and files located outside of the P3Dv3 installation location in order to avoid potential issues during updates.
* Until such time that Active Sky is redesigned for specific P3Dv3 recommended locations, we recommend uninstalling ASN before applying P3Dv3 updates, in order to avoid any potential update issues.

I got the automatic notification and installed the update...no hitches.

Every update seems to bring another quantum improvement with ASN. I noticed right away that atmospheric effects, specifically ground haze via volumetric fog are significantly improved from what was already very good. Using ASN, REX and OPUS live weather as boutique choices for weather and experiencing unique and beautiful weather rendering from each.

REX TD and Soft Clouds are, IMHO, an absolute must have for exceptional atmospheric effects.

At this point with DR and the ever improving updates from developers, P3D seems to be coming into it's own and dominating as a superior sim. Now all we need are live aircraft reflections in DR. No hurry, I'm sure LM has it on the white board.
