    Hello, I need some help with SimTools. My setup: • Source PC (DIY license) → no games installed, only used as the network sender/forwarder • Target PC (Pro license) → runs the actual game (Assetto Corsa / ACC) and drives the motion rig Problem: • When I install the game plugin (for example Assetto Corsa), the Source PC (DIY) cannot run Game Engine anymore.

    • The Target PC (Pro) works fine with the plugin. Questions: 1. Do I need to install the plugin on both Source (DIY) and Target (Pro), or only on the Target PC? 2. How can I fix the Source PC so that Game Engine runs without trying to load a game plugin? Thanks in advance for your support!

    Please see the dual PC info in the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/dual-pc-simtools-setup.251/

    And the manual: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    Make sure the PC language is set to English Local: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-language-setting-bug-change-to-english-local.233/

    And LFS is run in first person before patching for motion: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    And be mindful that SimTools v3 does not support dual PCs, so it really is a dead-end pathway to eventually being unsupported at some point in the future.
