There do not appear to be any release notes in the zip, do DJI have a separate link detailing the changes to new firmware etc. ?

Huh?  A firmware to allow you to do future firmwares?  No fixes for other things like people getting ultrasound errors.  Compass errors?  Are you sure that's the only thing that this fixes?

So...  Can you upgrade a virgin Phantom 3 straight out of the box to 1.1.8 or do you need to install 1.1.6 before attempting to upgrade to 1.1.8?

That is an important question we need to have answered.

...  and what they SAY it fixes/addresses is never really EVERYTHING that it fixes/addresses....  they are reading ALL these forums and fixing problems constantly - I guarantee.  which makes me only hope that by the time my P3A finally arrives, the bumps in the road will be a thing of the past.  the same thing happened with my P2V+, by the time I got one it operated very well - but I had to sell it for $$ towards the P3A.

A firmware that is essential with no real updates?  
Or a firmware with a fix to a bug they don't want to admit to?

Either way...   If it improves performance and reduces the risk of a crash.... I am in.

It says in the info that future updates cannot be installed without this current version though. which means they are saying if you get a phantom 2 weeks from now and they have since come out with another firmware, you have to install this first.

And yes, this is a bizarre explanation; fixes not being able to update while the controller is off? I'm pretty sure my controller was off last time i updated just my drone.

How do you Re-link the remote controller to the aircraft if the connection is lost after the firmware update? I don't see this on the guide?

Listen to the beeps from the camera.  While updating it will beep 4 times.  When it is done it will beep once pause and beep twice and repeat until you turn it off.  Remove the SD card and check it on your computer there is a txt file.  You should see success or abort both indicate you have upgraded.
