Install optional telemetry plugins
American Truck Simulator/Euro Truck Simulator 2
Install RenCloud's scs-sdk-plugin DLL to the bin\win_x64\plugins folder of your ATS and ETS2 installations. These are the default locations when using Steam:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\American Truck Simulator\bin\win_x64\plugins\C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x64\plugins\
When installed correctly, ATS/ETS2 will start with a notice that the SDK has been activated.
Unfortunately you will have to press OK for this message each time the game is launched.
Configure your FFB joystick
Follow the device settings guide for your specific FFB joystick.
Some FFB joysticks will silently fail to work with Bonus FFB until correctly configured.
Install and configure Bonus FFB
Download and run the latest Bonus FFB installer.
Bonus FFB installs several executables, one for each application:
Launch your desired application and open the Input/output settings tab. Select your FFB joystick and other devices as required by the application. Select the vJoy device you configured earlier. Choose File > Save device settings when you're happy with the device and axis settings.
If your FFB joystick and other devices are correctly detected and configured, you can start the app by pressing the ▶️ button.
Please read the application's guide for app-specific configuration, options, and features.
