    eaorobbie,
    Thanks so much - it is simple -

    Can I "assume" this means pointing it to the SimTools Folder where the "plugin" zip resides??

    I do a lot of "assuming" too Tom but you know where that gets us! lol. Actually you point to the location where you installed the game you need to patch and SimTools does the rest.

    BlazinH,
    I do "know" where assuming gets me 99% of the time - in the crapper - OK, understand now -
    THANKS so much AS always - you and others just "set the record straight" for me. SURE keeps me out of trouble.

    It's all very good. BUT - I have been trying for 2 weeks now, to get the Game Manager to acknowledge that the CORRECTLY placed X-plane plug-in is there - BUT ABSOULUTELY NOTHINGS HAPPENS. The Simtools software DO NOT recognize that X-Plane nor DCS is there?????

    Having paid for a, apparently working software as Simtools and then find all the answers throug af forum is not good business ethnics, Just saying - I am Desperate AND NOT a millinaire :)

    Are you using a licensed version of SimTools?

    It would be helpful if you detail what you are doing, step by step, and what does or does not happen as expected.

    The X-plane plug-in requires some in game settings.
    This is explained on the front page for the plugin download.
    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/x-plane-plugin.41/
    What version of X-Plaine are you running?

    My guess is if non of the newly installed plugins are showing up, that maybe the software is not registered yet?
    As only Live for Speed is available with the demo version.
    Take care,
    yobuddy
