    I was wondering if there is a way to launch the game from a shortcut with command line variables like "-level=smallgrid -vehicle=pickup" for debug and modding purposes.
    Is there a list of such commands somewhere? All I've found is this 4 year old thread https://www.beamng.com/threads/command-line-parameters-for-launching-the-game.22019/ which has a few examples, but sadly they did not work on the last version.

    I understand I might just be blind and have not found the thread on the wiki nor any info in google, and if someone points me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
    Basically I want to launch the game on a specific map with a specific vehicle.

    Thanks!

    Sorry to gravedig here but I'm also looking for a list. Using "-help" doesn't seem to work on 0.24.1.1.

    When i try to open the game over "BeamNG.drive.exe -console -help" it just refuse to open.
    I'm doing something wrong there?
    Or could someone post a list of possible launch-arguments?

    if you use `-help` it will print the help in the launcher log and exit without launching the game

    you need to remove `-help`
