    Hello i was hoping to ask if it's possible to upgrade a license ? I can only afford the DIY license at the moment, but in the future may want the game vibe feature of the professional license.
    Hope this is posted in the correct place.
    Have a great New Years everyone.

    Upgrading from the DIY to Pro SimTools license can be done by logging into SimTools.us. There you will find an upgrade path for a DIY license to Pro for $29.99.

    To qualify for a free DIY license:

    • You must be building a true DIY motion simulator. (Not built from a kit or purchased from a simulator seller, a model simulator does not qualify.)
    • Have a unique build thread or Showcase in DIY Simulator Projects. (The thread should show some effort, which means it should show progress to the testing phase.)
    • Have been a member of the community for at least 30 days.

    I had the DIY license but didn't know about the upgrade so I paid 69.99. Would I qualify for a refund or do I have to pay the full price when I got the DIY from documenting my project?

    Use the contact form here, as SimTools licensing is separate from Xsimulator.net: https://simtools.us/contact-us/

    I'm hoping this is the right place for this question, sorry if it's not. If I purchase the top tier license upgrade, does that allow me full access to attachments downloads or is it only for plugins? I accidentally spent 20 coins on downloads and only realized what I had done after doing a bit more reading around the forum.

    SimTools licensing and Xsimulator.net membership are 2 different things, as they are 2 different entities: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-and-xsimulator-partnership-explained.275/

    And see here how the coin system works, coins will still be deducted for downloads but you will still be able to download plugins with Gold Memberships, irrespective of coin balance: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/coins-and-how-to-download-plugins.2/

    Thanks, I was going to buy the premium tier upgrade but I'll hold off until I have a need for it.

    Basically I have to be more careful with what I click as it could end up using my coins. Thanks for the clarification :)
