    @noorbeast @yobuddy FIXED!
    I had downloaded to my onedrive and was dragging them from there to the updater.
    I re-downloaded all to a desktop folder and then added them and they now show up. Don't know why that would make a difference, but it did :)
    Thanks for your help to try and troubleshoot!

    So, finally got the Thanos controller, servos and all else done to get my rig moving!
    Have some EMI issues causing USB device dropout, and am working on that at the moment with a Faraday cage and some extra cable shielding.
    As a side point, for some reason the only plugin that will install is Dirt Rally, the rest I have the same issue as previous where it doesn't go into the Simtools Plugin folder. I'll uninstall and try it all again soon.
    Some pics for those who care :p

    Still a work in progress to tidy up but I'm about to remove the servo drives again and cables for shielding. And the bubble wrap is to stop my monitor shaking until I get a chance to mill some more brackets :blush

    Is there any error message when plugins won't install?

    My first guess would be a permissions issue, have you tried running SimTools as admin?

    No, says plug-in install successful. Trying to run the updater as admin gives me a red x when I try to drag the zip file into the updater, which I found weird. I also disabled all antivirus and windows defender, folder shield etc to no avail.

    What I found weird is the dirt rally plug-in worked, but Assetto corsa, iRacing, ATS, Dirt 3 all don’t. Checked the versions and they are all the latest.
    Might have to buy a download package and redownload them as maybe they are corrupt somehow?

    Re Download and install of the plugins works fine. Must be something happening to them when stored on Onedrive, even in ZIP format that prevents them from working properly.
