    The directory system in rF2 hasn't changed so the installer should still work if you add a new folder called Plugins in the path DRIVE:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Bin32

    Since rf2 went strictly 64-Bit the folders in the Bin32 folder were deleted. The 64-bit folder is: DRIVE:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Bin64\Plugins, the Bin32 folder should just replicate that structure by adding a new folder and labelling it Plugins within the Bin32.

    Sorry, I really don't know what to suggest, I think the author may have to update the plugin installer.

    When installing the plugin 1st time you don't need to drill that far down into the folders, you just need to tell it where the rf2 folder is so you stop at: DRIVE:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\rFactor 2

    Even possibly: DRIVE:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common (I don't recall the actual level you need to drill down to)

    thankyou ultimate and magus, together you sorted this in my head......
    my only complaint with the Xsimulator community is that a lot of the guys here have a very advanced understanding of our hobby and often forget that some of us are still struggling to remember the difference between a dof and an axis, so ive written my solution in the language of duurrrr.....
    once youve dragged and dropped in the plugin zip to the plugin installer, go to file explorer and open, your drive/program filesx86/steam/steamapps/common/rfactor2/bin64/plugins
    now copy and paste that plugins folder to,
    your drive/program filesx86/steam/steamapps/common/rfactor2/bin32
    now go to the patch option in the game manager and follow the path as far as rfactor2, just highlight that but dont open it then hit patch.

    Can you please post pictures of the Tuning Center while RFactor 2 is running and your folder structure.

    In case it helps someone:

    I had problems with patch in the rfactor2 version of steam, I have solved it by creating a folder called "Plugins" in the bin32 folder. Then I opened the game manager for patching, indicating the path ... / steam / steamapps / common / rfactor2.

    And finally patched.

    Is your SimTools a licensed and registered version?
