AS16 no longer one license for all sims?

Recommended Posts

Just to make sure I understand.  If i want to use AS16 with both FSX and P3D, I will need to purchase two different products?  

 

ASN worked with both, and one license allowed you to use it with both. (in contrast)

 

I like to use both and I must say I'm a bit disappointed if this is indeed the case. Perhaps I will stay with ASN.

 

Still love Hi-Fi's products though, ASN has made my simming so much better!

Yes, AS16 has two different versions for FSX and P3D. You will need a licence for both. The same with ASCA.

No, ASCA (Active Sky Cloud Art--the cloud texture package) is a single product that will work for both sims.  With AS2016 (the weather engine itself) HiFi has gone to separately licensed versions for FSX and P3D.
