    Hi guys,

    Sorry if this is a real noob question but we're having a bit of trouble getting this plugin going. Trying in vain to find the manual ( I swear I saw it once but can't for the life of me find it again).

    Basically struggling to get it into SimTools, we managed to get it into the Plugin Manager but still not showing in the Game Manager or Engine.

    Can someone please point me in the direction of the manual or give me a quick how to for this?

    Thanks in advance!

    When you are looking for stuff check the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    The documentation is there: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    There is a difference between the discontinued SimTools 1.3 and SimTools 2 in the Interface Settings: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-2-input-settings.294/

    Here are the steps to creating and refining a motion profile: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    Plus there is a whole FAQ section of SimTools tips and tweaks: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-settings-tips-and-tricks.18/category

    Are you using the demo version of SimTools 2? If so it will only run the Live For Speed plugin, which is included for testing purposes. You need a licensed version of SimTools 2 to use other plugins.

    Thank you very much @noorbeast! I will go through those links you gave me and see if I can work it out.
    I'll check what version of SimTools we have installed (sim is offsite and I'm new on the project).

    Appreciate you taking the time to point me in the right direction :)
