What is it?
ETS2 Dashboard Editor is a desktop application that lets you design fully custom instrument cluster mods for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator — entirely visually, without opening a text editor or writing a single line of code.
It works by reading and writing the game's native .sii dashboard format directly, so everything it produces is fully compatible with both games out of the box.

Features
- Drag & Drop Canvas – Add, move, resize and layer dashboard elements visually using a Pixi.js powered 2D canvas
- Live Telemetry Preview – Connect to the SCS SDK plugin and see your dashboard respond to real game data while you drive
