Perform automatic configuration

Make sure that American Truck Simulator is currently not running but was started at least once!

Click on the button Modify game config for telemetry.

The application updates the configuration of American Truck Simulator afterwards.

Automatic configuration finished

If everything worked as expected, a confirmation message (1) appears, the list shows the correct configuration (2) (with a green checkmark) and the button for the automatic configuration (3) on the right side is hidden.

You can now start American Truck Simulator and receive data in the SIM Dashboard Android App. Remember, that the SIM Dashboard Server application must be running while your are playing the game!

Manual configuration

This part of the tutorial is optional and should only be performed if the automatic configuration failed for some reason.

App

Open Plugins folder

Sim Racing Dashboard Mac Os Pro

Open the installation path of the SIM Dashboard Server application, Default is: C:Program Files (x86)SIMDashboardServer

Open the subfolder Plugins and afterwards the subfolder ETS_ATS.

Find the plugins

You will find two folders in this directory: x86 and x64. Both contain a file called tsSIMDashboardPlugin.dll.

The subfolder v1 contains a previous version of the Plugin and should not be used anymore

Copy the plugins

Now copy the file tsSIMDashboardPlugin.dll from the x86 folder in the subfolder binwin_x86plugins of your ETS2 / ATS game directory.

Copy the file tsSIMDashboardPlugin.dll from the x64 folder in the subfolder binwin_x64plugins of your ETS2 / ATS game directory.

The game directory on a default Steam installation can be found in C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommon

Start the game

You can now start the game.

Please note, that on game startup a message regarding the SKD usage appears. You must confirm the message to allow reading the game data. If this message does not appear, you need to install the C++ Redistributable Packages 2013 x86 and(!) x64. Also check the two files again and finally try to start the game again.

Not working?

Make sure that you can answer every of the following Checklist entries with yes. Click on the entries to get more detailed instructions for some of the steps:

If the PC Application is not yet installed, have a look at the Instructions how to Install the PC Application.

Come back here and continue with Step 2 afterwards.

  • Have a look at the Instructions how to pair your Android Deive with the PC Application
  • And Test the Connection to your Device

Come back here and continue with Step 3 afterwards.

The Mod consists of two files with the same name tsSIMDashboardPlugin.dll(but different contents) that are delivered with the PC Application and have to be copied to the correct subfolder in the game directory.

Where these files are located and where they have to be copied to is explained in the Manual Configuration Section above!

Come back here and continue with Step 4 afterwards.

Link to Download the C++ Redistributable Packages 2013the x64 can only be skipped if your PC does not run Windows 64bit

The PC Programm shows on the Game Tab if the entry American Truck Simulator is selected, if the C++ Redistributable Packages 2013 are not yet installed.

It can happen, that the PC Application does not correctly detect that the C++ Redistributable Packages are already installed. If you are completly sure that they are already installed you can skip this message.

Afterwards continue with Step 5.

The following Dialog shows up on Startup of the Game if the Mod/Plugin is correctly installed.

If it does not show up, the Plugin/Mod was not loaded by the Game, because it is either not correctly installed or the C++ Redistributable Packages are missing.

  • Install the Plugin/Mod as described in Step 3
  • and install the C++ Redistributable Packages from Step 4

If the Dialog shows up on Game Startup, continue with Step 6

Start the Game und have a look at the Mainscreen of the PC Application.
If a game is started, the Mainscreen of the PC Application shows an Info.

The Mainscreen of the PC Application shows that the game is not running?
Is another game still running in the background?

The PC Application shows that the game is running? Then continue with Step 7

If not, click on Modify Game Config for Telemetry or Update (Button only shows up if there is an Update for the Plugin/Mod).

If the PC Application notifies you, that the C++ Redistributable Packages 2013 are not installed, refer to Step 4.

If the Android App does not show that the game is running, it does not receive any data.

In this case one of the previous steps is not OK.
Have a look at Step 2 to pair the App with the PC and check your Firewall.
If you are using the Windows Firewall, you can find Instructions for the Windows Firewall Configuration here.

If the Android App shows that the game is running, but no Widgets are working:

  • The pairing with the PC is OK
  • and the game was detected by the running Executable
  • but the Plugin does not work, so no data can be read.
