    Could someone help me out with some coins to purchase the FSX Plugin. I've started posting and participating and only have 37 coins to my name :( Frustrating as I'd like to test the SimTools functionality in order to make additional input to this forum.

    Tx.

    Members generally expect a motion sim project page, so they can consider what they are donating coins for.

    SimTools 2 does come with the fully functional Live For Speed plugin already installed, specifically for the purpose of testing.

    Hey Noorbeast (or anyone who knows), do the plugins expire or once you download and spend the coins, do you ever need to download again (and spend more coins) unless there is an update of some kind and you want to update?

    Still figuring all this out so please let me know if this is better asked elsewhere. I bought the Pro license for SimTools and need plugins for the various sims I run for wind for now. Got plenty of coins for the time being.

    The plugins do not expire, but they may be broken by a game update.

    Plugin updates require a new download and are generally triggered by a game change update that needs a fix, or occasionally they are for bug fixes, or to add enhanced functionality.

    When you purchase a weeks plugin access with your activity coins you can download as many plugins as you want.

    Thanks Noorbeast! That's how I thought it would work but with all the questions about coins and downloads, it was sounding like it was a periodic and/or continuing need. So once people get the plugins they need, further plugin downloads should be much less frequent.
