Config File Options
Many options can be added to the config files to alter the way Project Apollo runs. When loading a scenario the Saturn V and Saturn 1b DLLs can read any scenario option from the config file and use it to set the default: so any option which isn't set in the scenario will use the value from the config file instead.
Examples of the more useful options to include:
LOWRES
Setting LOWRES to 1 will switch to low resolution Saturn 1b and Saturn V meshes. This can substantially increase frame-rates on slow machines.
TCP
TCP specifies the height of the rocket above the ground prior to launch. This is set to a default in the current config files, and it can be adjusted there if, say, you were to create your own launch pad addon which wasn't the same height as the standard ones.
SATTYPE
SATTYPE specifies the type of Saturn spacecraft the config file refers to. For example, the Saturn INT-20 config file uses the Saturn V DLL, but sets the SATTYPE variable to the correct value to indicate an INT-20.
Current values are:
1 Saturn V
2 Saturn 1b
3 Saturn 1 (not currently implemented)
4 Saturn INT-20
SIFUELMASS
Specifies the default mass in kilograms of the fuel in the first stage (SIc or SIb).
SIIFUELMASS
Specifies the default mass in kilograms of the fuel in the second stage (SIVb for Saturn 1b or SII for Saturn V). This is not used for the INT-20.
S4FUELMASS
Specifies the default mass in kilograms of the fuel in the SIVb stage of Saturn V and derivatives.
SIENG
Specifies the number of active engines on the first stage of the spacecraft. For example, the INT-20 config file sets this to 4, but you could create a file for the 3- or 5-engine INT-20 variants by setting it to 3 or 5.
SIIENG
Specifies the number of active engines on the second stage of the spacecraft.
SIIIENG
Specifies the number of active engines on the third stage of the spacecraft.
S4PL
Specifies the default payload of the SIVb stage. Current values are:
0 Standard LEM
1 ASTP
2 LTA LEM test article
3 LM1 test LEM
4 LTA8 LEM test article
5 Docking target
6 LTA6 LEM test article
7 Empty
8 Docking adapter for an SIVb 'wet workshop'
