SimCockpit, SimHub or ETS2 Telemetry Server?
All three put live data from Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator on a second screen. They go about it in different ways. Here they are side by side, taken from each project’s own pages as of October 2026.

Which one fits you?
- SimHub, if you drive more than trucks or want to design every dashboard yourself.
- ETS2 Telemetry Server, if you want something free and open source and are happy to build skins yourself — keep in mind it has not been updated since 2016.
- SimCockpit, if you want a truck dashboard on Android that is set up in minutes and keeps itself up to date.
