Compatibility notes
Which releases these codes apply to, and where one behaves differently. Each note links to the source that documents it.
- Moving your truck SCS's command list says Ctrl+F9 places your truck at the debug camera after goto. Gamepressure's 2016 guide gives F9 on its own, so you may see either key in older guides. SCS Software Modding Wiki: Console commands
- g_set_time Gamepressure notes the clock only moves forward: entering 9 at 10:00 takes you to 9:00 the next day. SCS's list adds an optional third value that clears traffic when set to 1. Gamepressure: American Truck Simulator console and free camera
- g_set_weather SCS's list documents 0 for nice weather and 1 for bad, plus an optional i for a gradual change or f to force it at once. SCS Software Modding Wiki: Console commands
- Command list status SCS marks its own console command reference as obsolete, so a command name can change between game versions even though the console setup still matches. SCS Software Modding Wiki: Console commands
