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
