    When you are editing the path for LFS, what is the direction I should take? C:/LFS/DATA/ ?. where ever I go they all say "The selected Path is not Valid for Patching". I have already run the game. Also, will I be able to use this game for testing my system?

    C:\LFS should work :)
    (The plugin is actually looking for the directory, where lfs.exe is stored in.)

    OK, so I downloaded the game patch DCS, dragged the zip folder into the Sim Tools Plugin update, set up the path for a connection (shows connected) started the Arduino IDE and verified and uploaded the SMC3 code, started the game, (the game manager shows that game is running) and at this point I have NO motor movement using my joystick when playing the game! I also tried to do the same thing using RacingMat_4DOF_Arduino_code. This did not work either. I would like to get this working in the one week time frame I have for the Game download. If it works I am going to become a Gold Member.

    I don't know it this will help, but I needed to have the full game (not the demo) of LFS loaded before any data would show in Game Engine Tuning Centre (It showed 'Game Connected in the demo - but no data). It has worked perfectly since.
