    Hi guys, just a quick one, Im just trying to familiarize myself with the SimTools software. I have downloaded the rFactor Plugin, I have used the Plugin Updater and added rFactor. When starting up the "Game Manager" , i select rfactor from the drop down, press "patching" then edit path. I select my rFactor game file from my C: , i then click "Patch Game" and it tells me, "game did not patch"
    Am i doing this correct or am I missing something obvious.
    Sorry in advance, as no doubt, im missing something obvious.

    You might have to run GameManager in Administrator mode.
    And I hope with "I select my rFactor game file from my C:" you mean something like "C:\Programs\rFactor"

    I did this last night as well, I had to uninstall it from Programfiles(x86) and reinstall it under a different directory in my C: driver. I did not think about running it as admin! :eek:

    Nath, check out SimHQ Motorsports. We are having a "Beer and Pretzel" race on Sunday with RFactor1.

    As a matter of fact, everyone should check it out ;)
