    For those of you using simtools v3 with DCS... you should:) but... if what's holding you up is that it rewrites the DCS export.lua file and you have other addons which need it, here's the solution.

    1. Make a backup copy of your export.lua before installing the simtools v3 DCS plugin
    2. Once the DCS plugin is installed rename your new export.lua to something appropriate. I renamed mine to SimToolsV3.lua
    3. Copy your backup of the export.lua file you made back to its original name (export.lua of course)
    4. Add the following line to you export.lua file
    local SimToolslfs=require('lfs'); dofile(SimToolslfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimToolsV3.lua')​

    for reference my entire export.lua file is now...

    local vaicomlfs = require('lfs'); dofile(vaicomlfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\VAICOMPRO\VAICOMPRO.export.lua]])
    dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\SimShaker-export-core\ExportCore.lua]])
    local SimShakerlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(SimShakerlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimShaker.lua')
    local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua')
    local SimToolslfs=require('lfs'); dofile(SimToolslfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimToolsV3.lua')
    pcall(function() local dcsSr=require('lfs');dofile(dcsSr.writedir()..[[Mods\Services\DCS-SRS\Scripts\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua]]); end,nil);​

    (sorry for the small fonts, I didn't want line breaks to confuse things...)
