Download Companion
The Project Carga companion app connects your simulator to the cargo network while you are running a job.
You need the companion app for tracked MSFS and ETS2 jobs. The web app is where you browse, accept, and review jobs; the companion app is what keeps the active run connected to your simulator.
What You Need
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Windows PC | The companion app is currently for Windows. |
| Project Carga account | Sign in with the same account you use on the website. |
| Internet connection | The app needs to stay connected while tracking a job. |
| Simulator | Microsoft Flight Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator 2. |
| Active job | Start a job before expecting journey tracking to appear. |
Installing
Download the latest Windows installer from the Project Carga download page.
After installing, open the companion app and sign in. The app loads Project Carga inside the desktop window and shows simulator connection status along the bottom bar.
Microsoft Flight Simulator
For MSFS, the companion app uses SimConnect. SimConnect is included with MSFS, so there is usually nothing extra to install.
Before flying a Project Carga job, load into the simulator near the job origin, then start the job from the Active Job page in the companion app.
Euro Truck Simulator 2
For ETS2, the companion app uses the SCS telemetry plugin.
The companion app installs the ETS2 telemetry plugin used for trucker job tracking.
When ETS2 starts with the plugin in place, the game shows a warning message about the telemetry plugin. This confirms the plugin has loaded.
If ETS2 is open, restart it after installing or updating the companion app so the telemetry plugin can load.
Updates
When a newer companion version is available, Project Carga will direct you to the download page for the latest installer.
If the companion app shows an update prompt, the download opens in your normal web browser. Install the latest version, then reopen the companion app.
Keeping the companion app updated helps ensure simulator tracking, live map updates, and job completion behave correctly.
