American Truck Simulator

Connection Method

Shared Memory (Plugin) — A telemetry plugin writes game data to shared memory, which DR Sim Manager reads. The same plugin is used for both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Setup Steps

Locate the plugin file: Navigate to:

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\DRSimManager\Plugins\AmericanTruckSimulator\

Copy the file:

scs-telemetry.dll

Paste the plugin into American Truck Simulator: Go to your American Truck Simulator installation directory. By default:
```
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\American Truck Simulator\bin\win_x64\plugins\
```
If your game is installed elsewhere, navigate to:
```
<Install Directory>\bin\win_x64\plugins\
```
If the plugins folder doesn’t exist, create it.
Verify installation: Launch American Truck Simulator. The plugin should load automatically.
In DR Sim Manager, select American Truck Simulator from the Source list and click Start Motion.

Available Telemetry

ATS provides the same comprehensive telemetry dataset as Euro Truck Simulator 2:

Orientation: Pitch, Roll, Yaw (cabin orientation)
Acceleration: Full 3-axis acceleration
Velocity: Full 3-axis local velocity
Angular Velocity: Full 3-axis rotation rates
Speed: Vehicle speed
RPM: Engine RPM
Gear: Current gear
Suspension: Multi-wheel suspension data
Truck Systems: Air pressure, brake temperature, fuel, and more

Telemetry Quality: ★★★★★

Recommended Starting Settings

Primary Cue Gain: 80–120%

Known Quirks

Same plugin as ETS2: Both ATS and ETS2 use the same scs-telemetry.dll plugin. Install the plugin in each game’s directory separately.
Multiplayer mods: Works with TruckersMP and other multiplayer mods.

Troubleshooting

No telemetry data

Verify scs-telemetry.dll is in bin\win_x64\plugins\.
Make sure the plugins folder exists.
Ensure you are driving (not in menus).
Restart both ATS and DR Sim Manager.
