SERVER CONNECTION GUIDE

HOW TO CONNECT

Install telemetry if you want your driving record on the Driver Board. Then open ATS, find a BASIC server, and drive.

RECOMMENDED · DRIVER TELEMETRY

ADD FULL DRIVING STATS.

You do not need the DLL to join a server. Your name can still get a Driver Board profile from the dedicated-server roster without the DLL. Install telemetry if you want mileage, jobs, cargo, routes, revenue, speed, trip maps and other ATS statistics recorded on that profile.

WITHOUT TELEMETRYYOU CAN STILL JOIN

Your name can appear in the live server roster and on the Driver Board with NO TELEMETRY. The profile remains at zero/blank telemetry statistics until the DLL is installed.

WHAT IT DOES

ATS DATA ONLY.

  • Uses your SteamID and public Steam name to match the correct driver record.
IT DOES NOT ASK FORSteam passwords, Steam email, payment information, personal documents or real-world GPS location.
INSTALL TELEMETRY

THREE QUICK STEPS.

Skip this section if you only want to join the server without Driver Board statistics.

01

Download

Download the BASIC ATS driver package and open the ZIP.

02

Copy BasicATS.dll

Place it in American Truck Simulator\bin\win_x64\plugins. Create the plugins folder if it does not exist.

03

Restart ATS

That is it. The DLL runs silently whenever American Truck Simulator is open.

JOIN A BASIC SERVER

FIND IT IN ATS.

Open the ATS Convoy / dedicated-server browser, search for BASIC, and join the server you want.

1

Open Convoys

From American Truck Simulator, open the multiplayer / Convoy server browser.

2

Search BASIC

Choose one of the BASIC dedicated servers shown in the list.

3

Join & Drive

Telemetry is optional for connecting. If installed, your Driver Board record updates automatically.

CAN'T SEE A MODDED SERVER?

TURN ON BOTH MOD FILTERS.

ATS can hide modded and optional-mod sessions. Open Advanced Filters and enable both options below.

LIVE SERVER ROSTER

WE CAN SEE PLAYERS WITHOUT THE DLL.

The dedicated server log tells BASIC ATS who is connected. A player without the DLL can still appear in the live server list as NO TELEMETRY. The server roster creates the basic Driver Board record. Installing telemetry adds the detailed ATS statistics to that same record.
