SDK Question VSC++ version requirements?

It's common knowledge that you should always use the same compiler when linking against other things, Orbiter is no different.

So what version of Macrobastard Visual Studio C++ was Orbiter 2016 (and the SDK) compiled with?

(And why isn't this information in any of the PDFs that come with the SDK, or on the wiki, or even on ye olde googler?)

VS2010 (and later versions) should be able to compile addons with no problems.

Orbiter.exe depends on MSVCP90.DLL which corresponds to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2008. However AFAIK you can use any version because the actual API doesn't use any CRT or STL features.
