    Hi all,

    I have had my 2DOF setup for many years now, but have only recently rebuilt it along with my PC.

    I cant seem to find my old plugins on my HD's.

    Does this mean I need to pay again for the downloads? I cant seem to find my previous downloads on the site anywhere?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Noor..

    But does that mean I have to purchase these plug ins again? even though I had already paid for and owned them previously? Seems odd...

    The plugins you originally downloaded you owned, but that is somewhat separate from ongoing download access to v2 plugins, depending on it being a supporter or premium package, one is intended to be short term, for a year, and the other is perpetual: https://www.xsimulator.net/simtools-motion-simulator-software/#plugins

    I'm happy with the plug ins I had on my hard drive without the need to download newer versions etc. I am unable to locate them locally, is there a way to locate them exact versions (previously downloaded) easily on this website?

    Or will they be available to download if I locate the thread I downloaded them from? I have spent alot of hours rebuilding the rig, I just want even 1 of the plug ins (such as iracing) to make sure its all sweet before spending another $50 odd AUD on access to things I already own but am unable to locate..

    And Thanks again Noor, you have always helped me out when I needed help, it's much appreciated mate

    I can only pass on how the process works, not pass judgement on the consumer options and choices.

    Installed plugins will be in stored: C:\Users\Your_User_Name\AppData\Local\SimTools\GamePlugins

    Downloaded plugins will be wherever on your computer they were downloaded to and stored.

    Plugin version information is in the Version tab on the plugin download page: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/

    If you want "to make sure its all sweet before spending another $50 odd AUD on access to things I already own" use Live For Speed, the plugin is bundled with SimTools (all versions) specifically for testing purposes: https://www.lfs.net/downloads

    Just make sure you run LFS before patching it for motion: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/
