    Nice! Your 6DOF hydraulic base! A little jealous, me!

    In the description of the Need For Speed plugin you'll read:
    The plugin currently works with the following games:
    •Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005)
    •Need for Speed Shift (2009)
    •Need for Speed Shift 2: Unleashed (2011)
    •Need for Speed Most Wanted (2012)
    •Need for Speed Rivals (2013)

    while the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit plugin is obviously for the game Need for Speed Hot Pursuit.

    - Probably worth paying attention to an interesting technical approach, the base platform is 3 in 1;
    1) the basis for sustainability
    2) So as it serves as a container for hydraulics
    3) due to the large area is a cooler for oil

    - At this stage are scratching their heads over the design of the cabin, but could not wait to drive the simulator just screwed desk and chair to the platform))) sensations of 6-DOF indelible compared with 3-DOF, after 10 minutes of riding and shaking hands adrenaline gushing :thumbs
    P.S. if you have any questions - feel free to contact me, I'll help to the best of my technical skills :cheers
    P.S. I apologize for my English, 4 me helping my friend Google-translator ;)

    does not work !
    I tried all the options ... including
    1) run as administrator
    2) reinstalled SimTools - Beta v3.2

    NFSSeries_Plugin - folder don't have the file named:
    wow64ext.dll

    MFS-X plugin gives a different message on the second picture

    For patching, please run GameManager in Administrator mode.
    Unpatch the games and repatch them. Check in C:\Programs\Simtools if there is a file wow64ext.dll and/or GameManager.exe.config.

    Yes. So now you must start GameManager in Administrator mode and patch both games (NFS and FSX)

    Why are you using SimTools - Beta v3.2 anyway? The current version is V1.3


    So just for my understanding:
    1) You start GameManager by right-clicking on the GameManager icon and select Run as Administrator
    Run as Admin.png
    2) You open GameManager from the system tray and click on Patching.
    Patching.png
    3) You patch the game and receive the error message
    Error.png ?
    Please confirm.

    V3.2 gives an error, is possible that the game is cracked ?
    P.S. Arduino board not yet connected to the computer.

    @Ashraf, Why don't you do as value1 implied and install Simtools v1.3 and try it instead of insisting to use a beta version that can have issues? Make up your mind if you want to get your rig moving or be a beta tester!

    Ps From my limited knowledge, I don't know why you need wow64ext.dll anyway when you are attempting to run a 32bit game on a 32bit os.

    Also, if true, my curiosity is peaked as to how and why you got a hold of Simtools 3.2 beta when Simtools 2.0 has yet to be released! :thinkIf true, it must contain 6dof math or something that you want to test, otherwise I see no purpose for you to want to use it at this time!

    @Ashraf , Blazin and Value are correct, why are you running version 3.2? Its old.
    You are wasting peoples time not using 1.3 which run better and have proper 6 DOF plug ins going.
    If you need coins to get the software, I will spot you some now.
    Get 1.3 and help yourself.

    From his screen shots he has v1.3 on his computer so I don't know where the 3.2 beta designation he states is coming from!

    wow64ext.dll allows a 32bit application (SimTools) to read 64bit memory (NFS Rivals).

    Thanks @value1. While I didn’t find much info on the internet on that .dll, I did learn it allows 32bit apps to read 64bit memory. But what I’m not sure of is can a 32bit os run a program that uses 64bit memory? I am under the impression it can’t. He stated this about his’s computers specs:

    Ps NFS Rivals is one of those games I don’t have and I wasn’t aware that one is a 64bit program. Or do your mean it just uses 64bit memory?

    Thank you all for participating in my project (a special thanks bsft for coins ;))
    - I downloaded Sim-Tools 1.3 version, all load at once and without any problems,
    the only thing now that can not upload 6-DOF preset
    - In particular, not loaded interface settings,
    I would appreciate if you can help tell how to set settings manually
