ATS Dispatch Pro Hotfix
A new hotfix for ATS Dispatch Pro is now available. (ATS Dispatch Pro Lite Setup 0.1.1)
This update addresses several setup and activation issues reported after release, including activation-key detection, custom Steam installation locations, telemetry setup, and errors when enabling Real GPS Stops.
What Was Fixed
The latest hotfix includes:
Added the ability to locate and select your activation key directly through the app
Fixed activation keys not being detected when ATS is installed on another drive
Fixed errors when enabling Real GPS Stops
Fixed .NET exceptions during the setup process
Fixed telemetry plugin activation issues
Improved American Truck Simulator folder detection
Fixed problems locating required ATS files during setup
Addressed several smaller setup and stability issues
The Setup panel has also been improved to make installation easier and reduce confusion when selecting folders.
Improved Activation Key Detection
ATS Dispatch Pro can now help you locate your activation key if it is not detected automatically.
This is especially helpful for users who have their ATS files, Documents folder, or Steam library stored on another drive or in a custom location.
Use the new key-location option inside the app and select the provided key.json file. Do not rename, edit, or modify the activation key.
How to Update
Visit the My Downloads page on the Dro Modding website and download the latest version of ATS Dispatch Pro.
Replace the previous application files with the updated files, then completely close and relaunch the app.
You do not need a new activation key. Continue using the key.json file that was already provided with your download.
Selecting Your ATS Folder
When the Setup panel asks for your game location, select the main American Truck Simulator installation folder.
Example:
P:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\American Truck Simulator
Do not select the bin, win_x64, plugins, or ats-dispatch-pro folder.
The app will automatically locate and create the required folders using the main American Truck Simulator installation path.
Important Installation Notice
Please read the included installation PDF before completing the setup process.
The guide explains:
Where the activation key belongs
How to use the new key-location option
How to install the telemetry plugin
Which American Truck Simulator folder to select
How to enable Real GPS Stops
How to troubleshoot common setup problems
Once everything is installed and configured correctly, both sections inside the Setup panel should display green.
Thank you to everyone who reported issues and provided screenshots, folder paths, and error messages. Your feedback helped me identify these problems and release the hotfix quickly.

More fixes and improvements are already in the works.

Tried this with Jaspers Reefer but the def is in RAR format instead of Zip. Will zip be supported at some point?
Looks like the app needs to be installed in bin\win_x64?
Yes, that’s correct. The app installs the required files inside `bin\win_x64`, but the folder you should select during setup is the main ATS root folder: :\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\American Truck Simulator` Do not select the `bin\win_x64` folder directly.
@Dro Modding Telemetry installed worked but Hotfix did not fix the problem when enabling real gps stops. The app is looking in the default install directory. See install log: Installing the telemetry plugin...

ATS Dispatch Pro is a great addition to American Truck Simulator. It is neat, easy to use, and simple to understand. It makes jobs feel more organized and adds more realism to the game. The layout is clean, and everything is easy to find. I would recommend ATS Dispatch Pro to anyone who wants to make their ATS experience more fun and realistic
Hi bro, I just recently subscribed to your patreon and i downloaded your 53ft reefer trailer mod and for some reason i couldnt find any job available when using the trailer. Any suggestion? thank you
Hi bro, thank you for subscribing! Make sure the cargo DEF file included with the 53-foot reefer is enabled in the Mod Manager and placed above the trailer file in your load order. If the trailer appears in the dealer but no jobs are available, the cargo file is usually disabled, missing, or in the wrong position. After correcting the load order, restart the game or sleep to refresh the Cargo Market. If jobs still don’t appear, shoot me a message and I'll look into it more.
Hey bro is there a tutorial or instructions on how to set this up
Yes. A full installation PDF is included with the ATS Dispatch download. It walks you through the activation key, telemetry plugin, ATS folder selection, and enabling Real GPS Stops. Make sure you download the latest setup from the My Downloads page, since several setup issues were fixed in the recent hotfix. I’m also currently working on a full video tutorial to make the installation and setup process easier to follow.

Does it work with any map in the game?
Right now, ATS Dispatch Pro only supports the official SCS base map and DLC maps. Custom map mods are not supported yet. I’m currently looking into adding custom map support through a system similar to the existing mod-support feature, allowing users to import and scan their map files.
