That's really great to know. Although I wouldn't necessarily classify having to purchase the same model again as a scam - depending what's changed in the engine, it may require a lot of work to update the model to fully take advantage of everything X-Plane 12 (for instance) offers. If there's a substantial update for the model, I would personally feel fine buying a new version. However, really nice to see Austin and Laminar have thought of this - some of us have waaaay too much invested into models and plugins!
