@ robpol471,

Are your testing it?

Hi Martyson,

ASP3D I used it mainly on P3D 4.5 because I am waiting for the announced release of the HF2 for P3D 5 with the hope that it will solve the various problems reported and some that I have encountered in the few flights made with P3D 5.

ASP3D together with REX addons for clouds and environment, on P3D 4.5 has proven reliable and not me has created problems and I prefer the rain graphics much more than that shown in P3D 5.

IMHO, I currently believe, as far as reliability is concerned, that P3D 4.5 is better than to P3D 5 which certainly has higher potential but with P3D 4.5 I have not encountered any crash, CTD and graphic artifacts as well as non-dependent problems
by LM but by some manufacturers of addons that have released versions for P3D 5 with graphic problems.

I have just installed this new version of ASP3D and I can only say that it recognizes automatically which P3D you are using.

Regards,

Roberto
