    Hi guys,

    have been having a search on the forum but still a bit confused about how simtools works with plugins financially.

    Basically just want to know - If I buy simtools pro, does that give me access to all the plug-ins or do I still need to buy a download package?

    thanks
    Andrew

    SimTools (motion software) and Xsimulator.net (community and community developed plugins) are two different entities, see here for details: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-and-xsimulator-partnership-explained.275/

    You can buy SimTools: https://simtools.us/licenses/

    But there is also free DIY SimTools licence availble for eligible members: https://www.xsimulator.net/request-diy-key-simtools/

    Plugin access is either by paid membership or via community activity coins, see here for details: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/coins-and-how-to-download-plugins.2/

    Hi thanks for the reply but after reading through this still doesn’t actually answer the question - does simtools pro (or any other version) include plug ins or do you have to also buy a separate download package?

    thanks
