# How to Use the Developer Console & Teleporting in ETS2

> Master the developer console to navigate the map instantaneously. Learn how to enable freecam and fix vehicle positioning on your ETS2 server.

## Advanced Navigation & Planning

The Developer Console is an indispensable tool for server administrators, convoy planners, and technical support staff. It provides the capability to "teleport" across the vast European landscape instantaneously, facilitating rapid route verification, environmental troubleshooting, and the swift resolution of vehicle-positioning glitches in distant cities. This guide ensures your local game client is correctly configured to use these administrative capabilities.

## Step 1: Enabling the Local Console

Before you can execute administrative commands, you must authorize the developer flags within your local client configuration.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Locate Local Data">
    Navigate to your primary documents directory on your PC: `Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit config.cfg">
    Right-click the `config.cfg` file and open it with a text editor. Search for and update the following variables:

    * Change `uset g_developer "0"` to **`uset g_developer "1"`**
    * Change `uset g_console "0"` to **`uset g_console "1"`**
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save & Initialize">
    Save the configuration file and launch the ETS2 client to activate the developer overlay.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Step 2: using Freecam & Teleportation

With the console enabled, you can now detach the camera from your vehicle and relocate across the map.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Interface">
    Press the tilde (**\~**) key to reveal the developer command line.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Execute Navigation">
    Input the `goto` command followed by your target city or coordinate (e.g., `goto berlin`) and press Enter.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Manual Camera Control">
    Your perspective will transition to "Freecam" mode.

    * **Movement:** use your **Numpad (8, 4, 5, 6)** keys.
    * **Precision:** Use the **Mouse Wheel** to dynamically adjust your camera's flight speed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Relocate Vehicle">
    Position your camera precisely above the road surface and press **F9**. Your truck and trailer will be instantly materialized at the camera's current coordinate.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  ### Physics & Altitude Safety

  When using the **F9** drop command, ensure your camera is positioned extremely close to the pavement. Dropping your vehicle from a significant altitude will result in immediate **100% mechanical damage** to your chassis, engine, and active cargo, rendering your truck inoperable until serviced.
</Warning>
