    When I launch FSX (steam edition) game manager shows "game running" but then immediately crashes.

    Windows 7 64 bit, never had anything working with this software, I have a simxperience setup, been bullet proof for 2 years, works fine with their software, but having issues getting simtools working :(

    Oh and I saw this but I already had that file in the directory, but I tried adding it anyways, didnt fix it :(

    Added SimTools_GameManager.exe.config to Zip File
    SimTools_GameManager.exe.config should be added to your SimTools installation directory automatically during patching.
    If this is not the case, manually adding this file might help.
    I therefore added the SimTools_GameManager.exe.config to the zip file again.

    If you can patch the simulation but GameManager crashes after the start, please copy the fileSimTools_GameManager.exe.config into the program directory of SimTools...

    I was able to get the error before it crashes. It shows this then immediately crashes. I cant click on details because its instantly showing the above screen shot error message and doesnt allow me to click on anything.

    You are awesome thank you so much! This should be added to the pugin readme.

    Also for those finding this with the issue, I went into this directory, then did a search for the SimConnect.msi, I found 4 and ran them all, only then did it work without crashing
