Welcome to our guide for Euro Truck Simulator 2 console commands! In this article, we will teach you how to activate the console in your game and use it to improve your gameplay experience. You will learn the basics of console commands, such as clearing out police and traffic, activating a free camera, and teleporting to new locations. With this knowledge, you can unlock the full potential of your game. So, let’s get started!
How to activate the console
Navigate to your documents folder (C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents) and open the game’s folder. Inside, you’ll find a file named `config.cfg`. Open this file with Notepad and modify the following lines:
– Change `g_console “0”` to `g_console “1”`
– Change `g_developer “0”` to `g_developer “1”`
Save the file, and you’re all set!
Using the Console
To open the console in the game, press the key located below the Escape key (Esc). You can navigate the console using the Page Up and Page Down keys. Note that the console uses an English keyboard layout.
