FAQ

Short answers about setup, the Bridge and what version 1.0 includes.

What is TruckDeck?

TruckDeck is a companion dashboard for PC truck sims, not a standalone game. It is compatible with Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. The Android app works only when connected to the free TruckDeck Bridge on a Windows 10 or 11 PC on the same Wi-Fi network.

Windows SmartScreen says “Windows protected your PC”.

The Bridge is new and not yet widely downloaded, so SmartScreen may warn you. Check the SHA-256 checksum first. If it matches the value on the download page, click More info → Run anyway.

The app cannot find the Bridge.

Make sure the PC and the device are on the same Wi-Fi network (not a guest network, not mobile data), that the Bridge window is open, and that you allowed it on private networks in Windows Firewall. If your PC network is set to “Public”, switch it to “Private” in Windows settings.

Where is the PIN?

The 4-digit PIN is shown in the Bridge window on your PC. Type it in the app. Do not share it or post screenshots of it.

Is the connection encrypted?

No. The Bridge uses plain HTTP (no TLS) on port 8765 and is meant for your home network only. Nothing is sent to us or to the internet. Use it only on a network you trust and never expose port 8765 to the internet.

The gauges do not move.

Start the game and drive. If you just installed the Bridge, restart the game once so the telemetry plugin loads. Without the game, the dashboards open and can be edited, but the gauges stay idle until the sim sends telemetry.

Is there a ready-made coach or bus dashboard?

Version 1.0 does not include a ready-made coach or bus dashboard. The editor is fully configurable, including for coaches and buses.

How do I uninstall?

Close the Bridge and delete its folder. To remove the telemetry plugin, delete it from the game’s plugins folder. Uninstall the Android app as you would any other app.

How do I get support?
