The game_settings.tbl, also known as mod.tbl, defines options that can be changed globally. All settings are optional.

This table is one of the Modular Tables and can be extended with xxx-mod.tbm

If the version targeted in target version is equal to or later than these listed, the following options are enabled by default:


Contents

#GAME SETTINGS

Contains settings that affect how the engine works.


$Target Version:

FS2 Open, 3.7.4:

Specifies the minimum version of FreeSpace Open that this mod supports. If the version specified here is greater than the version of the current build, an error message is displayed.

FS2 Open, 19.0:

The $Minimum version option has been renamed to $Target Version. The old name is kept with the same functionality for backwards-compatibility.

The target version specifies what version of the FSO engine this mod was created for. It will be used by the engine to enable or disable backwards-incompatible changes by default. The default value is 2.0 which specifies that the mod targets the retail engine version.

+Major:

FS2 Open, 3.7.4:

Required. Sets the major component of the target version.

  • Syntax: Integer
  • Example: 3 (for a minimum version of 3.7.3.20151121)

+Minor:

FS2 Open, 3.7.4:

Required. Sets the minor component of the target version.

  • Syntax: Integer
  • Example: 7 (for a minimum version of 3.7.3.20151121)

+Build:

FS2 Open, 3.7.4:

Required. Sets the build component of the target version.

  • Syntax: Integer
  • Example: 3 (for a minimum version of 3.7.3.20151121)

+Revision:

FS2 Open, 3.7.4:

Sets the revision component of the target version. If no revision is given then all builds of that release are supported (even nightly builds if there are any). For nightly builds this is the date in YYYYMMDD format.

  • Syntax: Integer
  • Example: 20151121 (for a minimum version of 3.7.3.20151121)


$Window title:

FS2 Open, 19.0:

Specifies the name of the FSO window when this mod is running. If blank or unspecified, the window will have the default title of "FreeSpace 2".

  • Syntax: String


$Window icon:

FS2 Open, 19.0:

Specifies the icon filename of the FSO window when this mod is running. If blank or unspecified, the window will have the default icon.

  • Syntax: String


$Mod title:

FS2 Open, 23.0:

Specifies the title of the mod and will be displayed at the mainhall near the FSO version.

  • Syntax: String


$Mod version:

FS2 Open, 23.0:

Specifies the version of the mod and will be displayed at the mainhall near the FSO version. Can be a string or it can be semantic versioning such as 2.0.0.

  • Syntax: String


$Unicode mode:

FS2 Open, 19.0:

Enabled the Unicode text mode for this mod. In Unicode mode all text is assumed to be UTF-8 encoded Unicode and certain features are disabled if they do not have full Unicode support. Most notably, if this is enabled then the engine will no longer support the old bitmap fonts that were used by Retail FreeSpace. Only the newer TrueType fonts will be supported.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Splash screens:

FS2 Open, 23.2: Defines a list of splash screens that FSO can display upon game startup. The actual image displayed is chosen at random from the applicable entries. Entries with exact aspect ratio matches will be prioritized first, followed by aspect ratio ranged matches, followed by entries without an aspect ratio specified.

+Bitmap:

FS2 Open, 23.2:

The name of the bitmap to use as a splash screen. Extension will be removed if included.

  • Syntax: +Bitmap: String

+Aspect Ratio:

FS2 Open, 24.0:

Only consider this bitmap to be an applicable entry if the user's screen aspect ratio matches the specified number within +/- 0.01.

  • Syntax: +Aspect Ratio: Float

+Aspect Ratio Min:

FS2 Open, 24.0:

Only consider this bitmap to be an applicable entry if the user's screen aspect ratio is at least the specified number.

  • Syntax: +Aspect Ratio Min: Float

+Aspect Ratio Max:

FS2 Open, 24.0:

Only consider this bitmap to be an applicable entry if the user's screen aspect ratio is at most the specified number.

  • Syntax: +Aspect Ratio Max: Float


$Splash fade in time:

FS2 Open, 23.2:

Sets the time in milliseconds it takes for a splash screen to fade in.

  • Syntax: Integer
  • Default Value: 0

  • Syntax: Integer
  • Default Value: 0


$Center splash logo:

FS2 Open, 23.2:

Sets whether the splash logo will be displayed in the middle of the screen. If this is false (the default), it will be displayed at the top-left.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Disable FSO Internal Loadout Restoration System:

FS2 Open, 24.0:

When the player configures the ships and weapons of the wings in the loadout screen, FSO will remember these settings and attempt to apply them again if the player quits the mission and comes back to it later. FSO will only remember the most recent mission's loadout, so it will not attempt to restore the loadout if the player loads a different mission. It will also not attempt this if the mission's $Modified: date has changed. This flag can be used to prevent FSO from attempting restoration even if it normally would.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


#LOCALIZATION SETTINGS

Contains various settings related to localization and language support.


$Use tabled strings for the default language:

FS2 Open, 21.0:

Causes the game to use the text in strings.tbl and tstrings.tbl even when the current language is English. By default, the game will use the literal text in the source code and the data files (tables and missions) and will not look up the entry when the language is English. For other languages, the translation is always used, if it exists, regardless of this setting.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Don't pre-empt training message voice:

FS2 Open, 21.4:

Prevents training messages from being interrupted by other training messages. If a training message has a voice file associated with it, or simulated speech is active, the next message will not be played until the current message has finished.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


#CAMPAIGN SETTINGS

This group contains various Campaign related settings and overrides.


$Default Campaign File Name:

Defines which campaign will be selected by default for new pilots. A file extension is not needed and, if present, is removed by the code.

  • Syntax: String


#Ignored Campaign File Names

Defines which campaigns, if present, will not appear in the Campaign Room. In the original implementation, only single-player campaigns could be ignored and file extensions were required, but see below.

FS2 Open, 3.7.2: As of 3.7.1, file extensions are not required and, if present, are removed by the code.
FS2 Open, 19.0: As of 3.8.2, file name comparisons are not case sensitive and multiplayer campaigns can be ignored.

$Campaign File Name:

File name of the campaign to ignore. Multiple entries may exist.

  • Syntax: String

#Ignored Mission File Names

FS2 Open, 19.0: Defines which standalone missions, if present, will not appear in the Tech Room or Multiplayer Lobby. Both single-player and multiplayer missions can be ignored, but missions which appear in a campaign cannot. File extensions are not required and, if present, are removed by the code. File name comparisons are not case sensitive.

$Mission File Name:

File name of the mission to ignore. Multiple entries may exist.

  • Syntax: String


$Red-alert applies to delayed ships:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2: Controls whether red-alert saved statistics (hitpoints, weapons, subsystem strengths) will be restored for ships that are not present at mission start.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


#HUD SETTINGS

This group contains various HUD behavior settings and overrides


$Directive Wait Time:

  • Defines how long the game will wait before displaying a directive.
  • Syntax: Integer
  • Values: Greater than or equal to 0 ms


$Cutscene camera displays HUD:

Show the HUD when the cutscene camera is enabled.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO

In earlier versions of the code, this option was controlled by $Cutscene camera disables HUD: and had a default of YES.


$Full color head animations:

Enables full-color head ANIs. Normal head ANIs will appear in gray.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO

In earlier versions of the code, this option was controlled by $Color head animations with hud colors: and had a default of YES.


$Don't automatically select a turret when targeting a ship:

FS2 Open, 22.0: Uses FS1 behavior where targeting a new ship did not target any turrets. In FS2 a turret is automatically targeted.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Supernova hits at zero:

FS2 Open, 22.2:

Adjusts the HUD timer so that the timer reaches zero when the supernova hits the player. The actual timing is not affected -- whether the flag is enabled or not, the supernova will always hit the player when 5 seconds remain in the time specified in the sexp.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Always warn player about unbound keys used in Directives Gauge:

FS2 Open, 22.2:

Ensures that the "Key Unbound" message will pop up for a directive with an unbound key in any single-player mission, not just a training mission. Note, that the default string (index 426) will still say "Warning\nYou have no control bound to the action \"%s\". You must do so before you can continue with training." Thus, it is advised to change the string at index 426 using the -lcl.tbm to "Warning\nYou have no control bound to the action \"%s\". You must do so before you can continue with this mission."

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$HUD drop shadows enabled by default:

FS2 Open, 23.2:

If this flag is active, certain elements displayed on the HUD (all text, the main targeting reticle, and the background of the ETS gauges) will have a "drop shadow" effect. Note that whether or not the flag is active, the player can set this using the "Toggle HUD Drop Shadows" control.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Unify scanning behavior:

FS2 Open, 24.2:

Unifies scanning behavior between subsystem, regular, and cargo allowing missions to use all scan types in all situations. Also allows changing the "Cargo:" text line in a mission by adding "$Cargo Title: STRING" after the "$Cargo 1:" or "$Cargo 2:" lines in the mission file. FRED UI support not yet added for $Cargo Title so you have to do it manually.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Don't show callsigns in the escort list:

FS2 Open, 24.2:

By default, callsigns are shown in the escort list using the same format as in the target box. If this flag is active, callsigns will not be displayed.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


#SEXP SETTINGS

This group contains SEXP settings and overrides.


$Loop SEXPs Then Arguments:

Flips how when-argument settings loop. See: SEXP Argument changes via mod.tbl

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Use Alternate Chaining Behavior:

When set, this allows all events in a chain to repeat, instead of only the last one. It makes the event chaining behavior act as people expected it to be in Mantis #82.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Fixed Chaining To Repeating Events:

FS2 Open, 23.0: When set, this makes event chaining to repeated events work as designed - that is, the chained event will only be evaluated after the chain delay. If the repeating event's interval is shorter than the chain delay, then the delay countdown will continually be restarted until all repetitions have completed. Without this flag, FSO will emulate retail behavior which, due to a bug, allowed chained events to be evaluated immediately after a repeating event is first evaluated.

NOTE: Although the name does not reflect it, the same issue affects repeating events that are evaluated by is-event-true-delay and is-event-false-delay. Without this flag, FSO will emulate retail behavior which causes these SEXP operators to ignore any delay when evaluating repeated events. With this flag, the delay will be measured from when the final repeat iteration occurs.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO

$Use host orientation for set-camera-facing:

FS2 Open, 22.0: When set, this will take into account the host orientation for cutscene cameras. This is a bugfix for GitHub issue #3889.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Show-subtitle uses pixels:

FS2 Open, 22.2: When set, SEXPs which display subtitles will read their arguments as pixels, not percentages. If $Show-subtitle base resolution: is set, these pixels will be scaled up or down as needed.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Show-subtitle base resolution:

FS2 Open, 22.2: When set, subtitles are assumed to display at the appropriate size in the specified resolution, and will be scaled up or down if the current screen resolution is different. If this is not set, or is set to a resolution less than (640, 480), subtitles will not be scaled.
  • Syntax: (Integer, Integer)
  • Default Value: (-1, -1)


$HUD-set-coords base resolution:

FS2 Open, 23.2: The hud-set-coords SEXP has always used exact pixels, without regard for the current screen resolution. This setting enables a similar scaling mechanism as $Show-subtitle base resolution:.
  • Syntax: (Integer, Integer)
  • Default Value: (-1, -1)


#GRAPHICS SETTINGS

This group contains settings related to graphics.

$Shield Pain Flash Factor:

FS2 Open, 3.7.4:

Determines the intensity of a pain flash when the player's shields are hit. Color will match the current ships shield color defined in ships.tbl. A value of 0 will give retail behavior (no shield effect). Positive values will cause the effect to start at full intensity at full shields and go to next to no intensity at zero shields. Negative values will cause no effect at full shields and full effect at no shields. Values should be kept between -1.0 and 1.0 for good pilot visibility.

  • Syntax: Float
  • Default Value: 0.0


$EMP Pain Flash Factor:

FS2 Open, 23.0:

FS2 Open, 23.0:

$Max draw distance:

$Min draw distance:

  • These values do more than just cutoff the visuals at certain distances, and they must be adjusted carefully to ensure unintentional rendering artifacts are not introduced.
  • The rendering engine has limited amount of 'depth resolution', the degree to which it can tell a certain polygon is closer or farther away than another. When two polygons are too close, they will Z-fight, picking arbitrarily which is closer. It is the span between the min and max draw distance that determines how well the engine can determine depth, if they are too far from one another, the Z-fighting will become more common as it has to spread its resolution over a wider range. If they are close, Z-fighting will be lessened at the cost of a smaller range of distance able to be rendered.

  • Default Values: 10,000,000,000 and 1, respectively


FS2 Open, 23.2:

$Randomize particle rotation:

#OTHER SETTINGS

This group contains miscellaneous settings.


$Fixed Turret Collisions:

Makes all hits to a turret's barrels count as hits to the turret subsystem. By default, this does not happen unless the point of impact falls inside the model radius of the turret's base.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Fixed Missile Detonation:

FS2 Open, 22.0:
  • When this flag is set, missiles which reach the center of a submodel will not detonate immediately; they will delay detonation until they have traveled another radius of the submodel. This fixes missile impacts to submodels whose center lies outside the geometry of the submodel. In other words, without this flag, a missile might detonate in the middle of the "bowl" of a concave submodel; with this flag, the missile will travel to the other side of the submodel before it detonates.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: False


$Damage Impacted Subsystem First:

If set, a hit to a physical subsystem will always deal damage to that subsystem first, even if another subsystem is closer to the point of impact. By default, the closest subsystem will always receive damage first.

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO

FS2 Open, 23.0:
  • Whether or not to use 3D models for weapon select instead of animations
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: False


$Default weapon select effect:

FS2 Open, 3.6.16:
  • This specifies which effect to use for weapon select animations when no .ani can be found, or the 3d weapon select effect is active. This will default to the FS2 effect.
  • Syntax: String
  • Possible options are "FS2", "FS1", and "off"


$Use 3d weapon icons:

FS2 Open, 23.0:
  • Whether or not to use 3D models for weapons in weapon select instead of icons

  • Syntax: String
  • Possible options are "ROTATE" or "TOPVIEW"


$Always refresh selected weapon when viewing loadout:

FS2 Open, 23.2:
  • When set to true, this always refreshes the weapon shown in view box on the right side of the screen when opening the weapon loadout view. This ensures the viewed weapon is one that can actually be on the selected ship when first clicking on the weapon loadout screen.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Weapons inherit parent collision group:

FS2 Open, 3.6.16:
  • When set to true, Weapons fired by a ship will inherit their parents' collision group setting.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Flight controls follow eyepoint orientation:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:
  • Specifies that if the player ship's eyepoint happens to rotate into a non-standard orientation, pitch and yaw axes should stay relative to the eyepoint orientation, not the ship. Note that this does not affect the pitch/yaw turning speed, which always remains relative to the ship.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Beams Use Damage Factors:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:
  • Specifies that beam weapons will use the tabled damage factors for Armour, Shields and Subsystems. Default is false (i.e. all factors are treated as 1.0)
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Default fiction viewer UI:

FS2 Open, 3.7.4:
  • Specifies which fiction viewer layout to use in missions that don't specify one. Possible values are as follows:

    • "auto": Selects "WCS" if the appropriate files are present; otherwise, selects "FS2". This is the default setting.


$Movie subtitle font:

FS2 Open, 19.0:
  • Specifies which font should be used for displaying subtitles in the cutscene player. This should be the name given to this font in the fonts table. Since movie subtitles can contain Unicode text it is a good idea to enable Unicode mode when movie subtitles are used but this is not enforced by this option.
  • Syntax: String


$Disable built-in translations:

FS2 Open, 19.0:
  • Turns off hard-coded translations, e.g. Transport -> Transporter in German. All strings will either use their XSTR entry or else not be translated.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Weapon shockwave damage respects huge ship flags:

FS2 Open, 19.0:
  • Controls whether weapon shockwaves will respect the huge/supercap ship flags. In retail they do not.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Enable external default scripts:

FS2 Open, 19.0:
  • Enables the loading of external scripts with the same name as a built-in script. Otherwise, uses the version of the script included in the executable (currently, just cfile_require.lua).
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO

  • Default Value: 0.05 (5%)


$Minimum player warpout time:

FS2 Open, 19.0:
  • The default amount of time, in seconds, warping out will take before actually starting to check whether the player is the right speed.
  • Syntax: Float
  • Default Value: 3.0


$Enable in-game options:

FS2 Open, 19.0:
  • Experimental mode whereby various settings can be modified by FSO while it's still running, rather than being set by the launcher before execution. Requires custom assets for the in-game options menu to actually be able to change the settings.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Dinky Shockwave Default Multiplier:

FS2 Open, 19.0:
  • Amount of damage, as a multiple of normal shockwave damage, assigned to a weapon's dinky shockwave by default. To get the same behavior FSO had from 2005-2019, set this to 0.25.
  • Syntax: Float
  • Default Value: 1.0


$Shockwaves Always Damage Bombs:

FS2 Open, 21.0:
  • Enables all bombs being damaged by shockwaves. Previously only those marked with flags could be damaged.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: False


$Shockwaves Damage All Object Types Once:

FS2 Open, 21.0:
  • Keeps any object from being damaged more than once by a shockwave. The default behavior is for asteroids and flagged missiles to be damaged every frame by the shockwave.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: False


$Shockwaves Inherit Parent Weapon Damage Type:

FS2 Open, 23.0:
  • When enabled, the shockwaves of weapons that have a defined damage type automatically inherit that damage type, rather than dealing "typeless" damage. As this behavior is more intuitive than when this flag is disabled, mods targeting 22.4 or newer versions of FSO will have it enabled by default.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: True for mods targeting 22.4 or newer versions of FSO, otherwise False


$Inherited Shockwave Damage Type Added Suffix:

FS2 Open, 23.0:
  • When combined with "$Shockwaves Inherit Parent Weapon Damage Type:", this string is added to the inherited damage type to define the shockwave's damage type. For example, if a weapon has the damage type "heavy" and the provided suffix is "-shock", then that weapon's shockwave's damage type would default to "heavy-shock".
  • Note: When defined, this also implicitly sets the equivalent value for dinky shockwaves, below.
  • Syntax: String


$Inherited Dinky Shockwave Damage Type Added Suffix:

FS2 Open, 23.0:
  • The same as "$Inherited Shockwave Damage Type Added Suffix:", except specifically for "dinky" shockwaves.
  • Syntax: String


$Default Shockwave Damage Type:

FS2 Open, 23.0:
  • If a weapon's shockwave doesn't have a damage type set, it will have this damage type instead (when "$Shockwaves Inherit Parent Weapon Damage Type:" is enabled, this will only be used if the weapon itself also doesn't have a damage type set).
  • Note: When defined, this also implicitly sets the equivalent value for dinky shockwaves, below.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Default Dinky Shockwave Damage Type:

FS2 Open, 23.0:
  • The same as "$Default Shockwave Damage Type:", except specifically for "dinky" shockwaves.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Use Engine Wash Intensity:

FS2 Open, 19.0:
  • Allows the game to use the Intensity value when calculating Engine Wash effects.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Apply HUD shudder to chase view:

FS2 Open, 23.2:
  • Applies hud shudder (afterburner and engine wash) also to chase view. Does not override the command line toggle.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Swarmers Lead Targets:

FS2 Open, 21.0:
  • Causes swarm missiles to lead their targets by default, and will make use of Target Lead Scaler if specified, like normal aspect seekers.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: NO


$Damage Threshold for Weapons Subsystems to Trigger Turret Inaccuracy:

FS2 Open, 21.0:
  • Specifies the damage threshold for when turrets become less accurate due to weapon subsystem damage. In other words, how damaged do a ship's aggregated weapons systems have to be before the turrets become inaccurate? Value must be between 0.0-1.0 (includes 0.0 and 1.0).
  • Syntax: Float
  • Default Value: 0.7


$AI use framerate independent turning:

FS2 Open, 21.0:
  • Without this flag, missiles turn rate is directly dependent on the current framerate. When enabled their turn rate will be consistent, with the "true" turning taken to be observed turning at 60fps. This flag also affects ships, but the instability is only apparent at extremely low framerates, and so the change will not be apparent.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: True

+AI respect tabled turn time and rotdamp:

FS2 Open, 21.0:
  • Due to complicated physics issues caused by retail not using the above method, tabled turn times on ships and missiles are not representative of actual observed turn times. The above flag makes it consistent, but this flag will make it accurate to what is actually listed in the table.
  • Additionally, rotdamp is now used properly by the AI in a similar manner to players. More rotdamp will result in slower rotational acceleration, and less results in faster acceleration.
  • NOTE: BEWARE OF ADDING THIS FLAG TO AN EXISTING MODPACK. NEARLY EVERY SINGLE TURN TIME WILL NEED TO BE CHANGED.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: False


$Player starts in third person/chase view by default:

FS2 Open, 21.2:
  • When this flag is set, a player will start the mission in the chase view, not in the cockpit view.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: False


$Custom briefing icons always override standard icons:

FS2 Open, 21.4:
  • Custom ship briefing icons will always be shown when the briefing icon is a ship, but not when it is a non-ship icon such as a planet. Set this flag to use custom briefing icons in all cases.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: False


$Lead indicator behavior:

FS2 Open, 23.0:

Changes how Lead Indicators behave when multiple weapon banks are linked and in range. When set to default, if you have linked weapons, only the indicator for the one with the farthest range will be drawn. When set to multiple, a lead indicator is drawn for all primary weapons in range when you have them linked. When set to average, a single lead indicator is drawn in the average of the position where each of them would usually be drawn.

  • Syntax: String
    • Valid options are default, multiple and average
  • Default Value: default


$Use distant firepoint for all turrets:

FS2 Open, 23.0:
  • Causes the game to use firepoint-based target leading calculations for all turrets. This is useful if all or most turrets in a given mod has firepoints that are distant from their center-point.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: False


$Enable discord rich presence:

FS2 Open, 23.0:
  • Enables or disables the built-in Discord game-status reporting.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: True


$Always hide hidden ships in hotkey list:

FS2 Open, 23.0:

  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: False


$Allow automatically assigning personas:

FS2 Open, 23.2:
  • Whether or not the game will automatically assign personas to ships that have no persona set.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: True


$Countermeasures use capacity:

FS2 Open, 23.2:
  • Whether or not Countermeasures use tabled capacity.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: False


$Calculate subsystem hitpoints after parsing:

FS2 Open, 24.0:
  • Causes subsystem hitpoints to be calculated after all ships.tbl and -shp.tbm files have been parsed. This allows subsystem percentages to correctly reflect the final hull value rather than the first hull value encountered.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: False

$Fix scripted velocity:

FS2 Open, 24.2:
  • If this setting is enabled, object velocity set via script will wholly determine the change in position for that frame, ignoring all other in-engine concerns. Otherwise, the game engine will likely overwrite/ignore any changes, depending on when the changes were made in the frame.
  • Syntax: Boolean
  • Default Value: False
