The following variables configure different aspects of the game.
Some of them (global settings) are loaded from the config.sii that is in the main configuration folder (normally My Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2); others (which are associated with a player's profile) will be in the profile configuration folder (e.g. My Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\profiles\<profile_id>).
Any of these can be changed during the game play using the console.
Enter the variable name, followed by the desired value, to change it (the command uset can be used before the cvar name, but it is not necessary).
To determine the current value of a variable, enter only its name.
Example:
g_police 0 (disables traffic fines) g_colbox 1 (displays collision boxes) r_mirror_view_distance (might return the following) "r_mirror_view_distance" is: "400" default:"80.0"
