Beta — American Truck Simulator
One app, two game worlds.
Dispolotse runs with American Truck Simulator too. One account, two game worlds: everything works exactly as in Euro Truck Simulator 2 — just in America. There is nothing to switch: you simply start the other game.
How to change the game world.
- Simply start ATS instead of ETS2 — the app recognises the game by itself.
- One account and one current account for both games.
- Set it up once: telemetry, save game and map — the app helps you.

- Start the gameStart American Truck Simulator instead of ETS2. You do not need a switch in the app for that.
- Drive offAs soon as you drive, the app recognises within a few seconds which game is running and switches over: freight market, map, units, money display and the vehicle pictures.
- Back to EuropeStart ETS2 again and it switches back the same way. Your jobs, your money and your vehicles stay where they are.
Until you drive, the app shows the world you were last driving in.
One account for both games
You need no second account and no second current account. What you earn in ATS goes into the same money pot as your money from ETS2.
Set it up once
- Telemetry: Under Setup ATS has its own line. The app finds the game folder by itself and puts the plugin in place; the next time you start ATS, the game asks once whether it may read data — please accept.
- Save game: Your ATS profile needs Steam Cloud off and save format 2 as well. Before your first job, the app backs up this save too.
- Map: Leave it on Automatic — the app reads from your profile which map you drive in ATS, with the states you own.
Almost everything.
- Freight market, driving, tachograph and overlay work as in ETS2.
- Driving and rest times, taxes and levies as in Europe.
- Company, current account, bank and statistics — once for both games.

Every routine you know from ETS2 works the same way in ATS.
- Freight market and the way into the game: engine off, put jobs into the game, quick save, quick load — in single player and on TruckersMP. Jobs from the in-game job market are reported and paid in ATS too.
- Drive, tachograph and overlay — with real arrival time and deadline.
- Driving and rest times as in Europe, taxes and levies as in Europe.
- Renting, buying, workshop, spare parts, diesel and AdBlue — at the American dealer.
- Your own yard with parking spaces and a fuel station — in America as well.
- Company, current account, bank, My life, mailbox, radio and statistics — once for both games.
Miles, dollars and the sign by the road.
- Distances in miles, kilometres in brackets — for example 62 mi (100 km).
- Speed in mph, km/h in brackets — for example 50 mph (80 km/h).
- An American dealer of its own with US tractors and US trailers.

Inside, the app counts as always — it shows the unit of the game world, with the European unit in brackets.
| Topic | In ETS2 | In ATS |
|---|---|---|
| Map | Europe — base game and map expansions | USA — base game and the state expansions |
| Distances | kilometres | miles first, kilometres in brackets — for example “62 mi (100 km)” |
| Speed | km/h | mph first, km/h in brackets — for example “50 mph (80 km/h)”; the sign on the American map counts, also where you may drive faster than in Europe |
| Consumption | litres per 100 km | litres per 100 km, followed by mpg in brackets |
| Diesel at the pump | euros per litre | dollars per gallon, plus euros per litre |
| Money in the game | euros | dollars — in your account in euros, converted at the weekly rate |
| Toll | at the toll stations of the European countries | at the rates of the states where documented rates exist — otherwise the route costs no toll |
| Fines | as you know them from the app | California and Oregon with their documented amounts (California with its own truck rate), all other states at the German rates |
| Trucks and trailers | European brands | American long-hood tractors and US trailers — prices in dollars, paid in euros |
| Dealer | the European dealer | an American dealer of its own |
| Rental contract | free kilometres and price per extra kilometre | stays in kilometres, with the miles beside them |
The app changes the units by itself: in the settings, Units says “Automatic - follow the game”.
Dollars in the game, euros in your account.
- Dollars in the game, euros in your current account — for example $ 1,250.00 (1,096.25 €).
- Converted at the weekly rate of the European Central Bank.
- For diesel you pay the price at the pump in the game.

Dollars, euros and your account
In ATS the game counts in dollars. The app books every amount in euros to your current account — converted at the weekly rate, the reference rate of the European Central Bank, fetched once a week.
- Your statement shows both, for example “$ 1,250.00 = 1,096.25 €”.
- For a job you see the dollar amount, the euro amount and the day of the rate.
- The rate is fixed at the moment of booking — if it changes later, your old bookings stay as they are.
Diesel in America
When you fill up you pay, as in ETS2, the price at the pump in the game — the app shows it in dollars per gallon and in euros per litre and books it in euros.
Where the app works with real diesel prices, in America it takes the weekly US diesel prices — fetched once a week, converted to euros.
Every world has its own trucks.
- American brands and US-style trailers at the American dealer.
- Every vehicle stays in the world where you bought or rented it.
- The route line for ATS comes with the road network — until then the map shows cities and drivers.

Trucks and trailers
The American dealer has American brands — Kenworth, Peterbilt, Freightliner, Western Star, International, Volvo and Mack — and US-style trailers. Renting, buying, selling and taking them to the workshop work as in ETS2.
Every vehicle belongs to the world where you bought or rented it: an American truck drives in ATS, a European one in ETS2.
Freight market and map
The freight market only shows you the jobs of the world you are driving in right now — and the number on the button only counts those. On the live map you see the drivers who are out in the same world, and the Dealer overview shows the dealer of your world.
Comes with the road network
The line of your route, “next place” and the arrival time along the roads need the road network of ATS. I am building it in right now — until then the American map shows the cities and the drivers, but no route line yet.
One company, two worlds.
- One company for both worlds — the same members, the same company account.
- You can build yards, fuel stations and workshops in America too.
- Weather, graphics and sound mods are fine — nothing that changes money or the economy.

Your company in both worlds
Your company exists only once — with the same members, the same company account and the same roles. Whoever drives, drives in the world of their game. You can build yards, fuel stations and workshops in America too.
Mods
ATS follows the same rules as ETS2: weather, graphics, sound, traffic and paint-job mods are fine. Mods that change money or the economy, or that rename cities, are not allowed.
