- Made -simVersion command line argument non-case-sensitive
- Fixed window size/position/dock status not saved/recalled properly issue
- Enabled additional verbose logging for identifying and tracking various reported issues

NOTE: ASCA SP3 OPEN BETA Build has been updated to B7446. All ASP3D+ASCA users should update to this new build available from our downloads page at https://hifisimtech.com/downloads


ASCA
- Updated auto simulator/path name handling when ASP3D client overrides path (a normal behavior when ASP3D is running) - previously the path name text prefix was shown, now it should properly show "ASP3D+P3Dv4" or "ASP3D+P3Dv5" accordingly.
- Updated theme definition text in Global Automatic and Full Dynamics so that AS16/ASP4/ASP3D required is shown instead of AS16 required
- [051820] Adjusted handling of texture files in attempt to avoid interference by other add-ons
- [052120] Changed handling for restoral and category de-selection in options screen, when using ASP3D, for proper deactivation of ASCA content using the P3D add-on folder specification
- [052120] Updated documentation for ASP3D use

 

 

Download is 50MB larger than beta 2 (docs maybe) (190mb to 240)

I've had really good luck with this. The fact that it will be even better is amazing. I have not used ASCA yet as I am waiting to see what marvels REX comes up with in terms of clouds and so forth.

These guys are great, always come through with the goods.

Active Sky + P3D v5 + Enhanced Atmospherics = an awesome combination.

Beta 3 fixed a constant CTD problem I was having when selecting an aircraft with the REX WX Radar either added or baked in like the FlySimWare ones - I can now use it again - working well (it would consistently CTD on beta 2 when the gauge was being drawn on the panel of an aircraft with it on the panel or as a pop up display)

Does it now use more than 2 cloud layers or is this still buggy with EA enanled ?

I hope this fixes my CTD issues. Would love to have some weather in my sim again.. 😉

 

Thats good news Rob!

Good morning,

Quick question: Will this work with p3Dv4.5 HF2? Because of FSLAB airbus i did not upgraded

Thanks for your answers.

It requires HF3 and you can safely upgrade to HF3. Latest FSLabs has compatibility with HF3.

This HiFi ASP3D Beta 7448 is working VERY well for me, about 8 hours of flying the PMDG 747, QW 787, Maddog, AS 330 not a single CTD (once I removed my SimConnect.cfg file on my FS PC).  It's producing some really nice weather and pretty accurate to what I see in Foreflight.

Cheers, Rob.

EA on or off?

There's only one way to run v5: EA = On 😛
