Pricing Information

For Home Users

Home users who need advanced or professional features pay a fixed price which is the same as the "minimum licensing price" designated for each edition.

• Basic Editions: Available on our standard order page
• Advanced Editions: Available on our Advanced Edition order page
• Professional Licenses: Cannot be purchased from our website - contact us for pricing

For Simulator Manufacturers

For simulator manufacturers bundling our software into a retail simulator, the price for both Advanced and Professional licenses is based on a percentage of the full retail price of the simulation device.

Each edition has a "minimum licensing price" in effect regardless of the simulator's retail price. Use our pricing calculator or contact us for more information.

Governmental Certification (FAA, CAA, etc.)

Customers seeking governmental certification of any kind for their simulator, in any country, must purchase a Professional license. You must also comply with certain additional regulatory and contractual requirements as described in our professional license agreement.
