    Your still in demo mode buddy.
    Only 'Live for Speed' will be recognized as a valid game plugin until you license the software.

    yes im still in demo mode..i found the right simtools installer to so my screen looks the same now.. im only use lfs am i using the wrong download or something ???? i installed the the perset and it said install was complete...
    still movment tho... when you patch the game do you just do it to the LFS file or do you need to chose one of the files in the LFS file??maybe ive gone wrong there...the game said it patched

    also ive just looked for a lfs perset file and its been deleted i couldnt find one



    Everything is working on screen just nothing off screen lol

    if your interface is in the "a" tab ... you don't have an "a" in the line of the output in game engine ??

    Did you install SimTools on a single PC?
    If so, the ip address for both apps don't need to be changed.
    You can leave then at "127 0 0 1" or put them back to this number.

    Do you have axis assignments for LFS?

    BTW your output rate is way too low (1ms), should be 10ms.
    (look at the interface settings)

    No offense but you don't need LFS presets, you need to become familiar with the software by reading, learning, understanding, experimenting. You are doing many things at the same time but not in the right order.
