This allows you to see the lines being actively written out to the game's log file as well as the ability to execute commands or modify certain command variables as listed out below.

Mote that If the player creates a USER.cfg file in the "\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\LIVE" folder with Con_restricted = 0, it allows for more commands, and adding a second line such as r_ssdo = 3 sets the SSDO value starting the game with it every time.

Many command variables will have a simple enabled/disabled value represented by a 0 (disabled/off) or a 1 (enabled/on).

In Star Citizen the Console can be accessed at any time by pressing the ~ key.

This allows you to see the lines being actively written out to the game's log file as well as the ability to execute commands or modify certain command variables as listed out below.

Mote that If the player creates a USER.cfg file in the "\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\LIVE" folder with Con_restricted = 0, it allows for more commands, and adding a second line such as r_ssdo = 3 sets the SSDO value starting the game with it every time.

Many command variables will have a simple enabled/disabled value represented by a 0 (disabled/off) or a 1 (enabled/on).
