    Hello All.
    I'm hoping to get some help.
    Simtools v2.6.
    I mainly use joystick, but I now want to load some more plugins.
    I drag the plugin to the box in game manager, but I get a no entry sign .
    I have tried rebooting, running as administrator etc, but no change.
    I have searched the forum, and checked the software manual, but found no information.
    I have a DIY licence, running Windows 10 pro 64 bit.
    Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks Noorbeast.
    It turned out to be a windows quirk.
    I had the plugins in a folder, and I was dragging from the open folder to the updater and getting the 'no entry' sign.
    I dragged from the folder direct to the desktop, then from the desktop to the updater and the files went straight in.
    Issue was the same using the game manager updater or the simtools updater from the menu..
    Thanks for the help
