    Is Simtools going to be compatible with rFactor 2 x64 build 798 and the new map structure ?

    Game Manager search for the map where the launcher.exe is in and then place the plugin in the totally wrong map.
    When I replace the plugins to the originally correct map Simtools still isn't working.

    Thanks @Rinus janssens for letting me know! :thumbs
    I have updated the plugin and it now works with the old builds as well as the new.
    You can find the plugin here.

    @Matthias Griese: When you start the race, do you see the plugin icon in the upper left corner?

    Try to remove the patch

    and patch again

    Maybe run GameManager in Admin mode when patching.
    Only when you can see the plug in the upper left corner, you will be able to see data in SimTools.

    Thank you. I will try it soon. The patch path is still the rfactor2 main folder right?

    Did you do a complete new clean install with rFactor2 ot are you using the update feature in rFactor2 ?
    If you did update rFactor2 with the updater try a clean install first then try to patch the fresh install again with sim manager.

    Do you have the latest 64x plugin ?

    BTW I use a triple screen setup and when I apply the bezel correction I don't see the plugin icon in the upper left but the plugins are still working after the usual 15 seconds.
