Does this mean that the OLCE mod (Or parts of it) are included with 3.0, or just that the two are definitely compatible? Silly question, I know.

Adding OLCs on top of GWX would I guess break the intended result as GWX contains a version of OLCs and GWXs enviroment

OLC said that it was okay to use his mod so long as you DO NOT enable the GWX 16km visibility mod first.

I believe the differences between OLCE2 and the new GWX 16km Atmosphere mod (which is actually OLCE2 plus some tweaks) are purely visual. For example, the colour of the water is different and so are the water ripples and textures. Nothing that would affect gameplay in any way. People can enable one of them or the other based purely on visual preference and get the exact same gameplay experience.
