    Hi guys,

    Ok so I have tested all my connections, with simtools I am to control the motors , and when also connected to the seat the work great.

    Now how or what are my next steps to test this with lets say the free live for speed software. Once i have this working with Live for speed then will buy the other option so I can play other games.

    i did download the simtools game manager and also game engine but not sure what to do next.

    Thanks for the help

    First make sure you run LFS before doing anything else: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    The grab a copy of the applicable SimTools manual and keep it handy for reference.

    just one little thing when I launch the game in windows 11 it seems that I cant seem to be able to open the window for the LFS, only the window of the simtool manager opens and i am able to put axis, and other info that is required to make it work. not sure if it's because I'm using windows 11.

    Do you mean LFS itself does not run?

    You start LFS with its normal game launcher, independent of SimTools, which will be in the folder path where you chose to install LFS.
