game install path

• ex. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Farming Simulator 19

game configs path

• ex. C:\Users\bafar\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2019
  • game settings
  • mods
  • mod configs
  • saved games

skip into credits and movie

• add -restart to launch options
• make sure game.xml <startMode>1</startMode>
• NOTE: using -restart will not delete your log.txt file when the game starts.
  it will APPEND to the file, growing it over time. as such, make sure you
  use -restart carefully... and... you can disable logging all together
  (details below)

to get the dev console...

• make sure game.xml has this setting...

    <development>

        <controls>true</controls>

    </development>

• when in-game hit the tilde key (left of your 1 key ~) 2x to enter commands
• we will cover more on this feature in a later episode

increase field of view (the round circle)

• make sure game.xml has this setting...

    <viewDistanceCoeff>4.000000</viewDistanceCoeff>

    <lodDistanceCoeff>4.000000</lodDistanceCoeff>

    <terrainLODDistanceCoeff>4.000000</terrainLODDistanceCoeff>

    <foliageViewDistanceCoeff>4.000000</foliageViewDistanceCoeff>

use logging only WHEN you need it!

• make sure game.xml has this setting...

    <logging>

        <file enable="false" filename="log.txt"/>

        <console enable="true"/>

    </logging>

• it's also a very good idea to use this in combination with the -restart launch option.
  you can always manually delete the log.txt if the game is not running, but it's very easy
  to forget and end up with a bloated log file.
