Console commands

Look up a chassis command here. Open the in-game console and type it. chassis help lists the commands of the build you run.

These work in the normal build that players install.

CommandWhat it does
chassis helpList the commands of this build.
chassis telemetry [net id]Print every instrument source with its validity flag, and the bound gauges and switches of your car. Without a net id it reads the car you sit in, or the nearest car.
chassis zones [off]Show the hit zones of the dash switches (green) and the reach (yellow rings). off hides them.

Every GitHub release carries Chassis_<version>_debug.zip next to the normal build. It is the same version with the developer commands below. Get it from the releases page and replace Mods/Chassis.dll with the DLL from the zip. Players use the normal build.
