    Hi, to be able to use plugins with simtools game engine you need to have at least the diy license with the demo mode you can only use live for speed.

    can you recommend two not too expensive engines? what I have are two 24v truck wiper motors but they are different and I have a lot of difficulty fixing the potentiometers. I saw your photo that you used the copper tube

    I used two 12v vauxhall wiper motors. However, your wiper motors seem pretty good I would not recommend replacing them. I am sure you can come up with a clever way the mount them. Possibly with cogs?

    Simtools is designed to be free for DIY purposes. If you blog about your build in the threads then request a license here (if meeting the requirements) you can get it for free. Here is the link https://www.xsimulator.net/request-diy-key-simtools/
