    I keep getting this message when trying to start simtools. long but I will share it anyway. Any ideas?

    See the end of this message for details on invoking
    just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

    ************** JIT Debugging **************
    To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
    application or computer (machine.config) must have the
    jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
    The application must also be compiled with debugging
    enabled.

    For example:

    <configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
    </configuration>

    When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
    will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
    rather than be handled by this dialog box.

    You can not install SimTools v3 plugins into SimTools v2 is all.
    All v2 SimTools plugins need to be downloaded from xsimulator.net
    The v3 plugins can be installed directly in the v3 app, or from SimTools.us.
    You should be able to simply delete this file : "C:/Users/Victor/AppData/Local/SimTools/GamePlugins/155_GamePlugin.dll" And you will be up and running again.

    If you do want to use that plugin, then install SImTools v3 from here:
    https://simtools.us/downloads-links/

    Take care!
