# Here you can specify an alternative base url from where all map data is loaded.
# Default is "maps"
#map-data-root: "https://cdn.my-domain.com/mapdata"
  
# Here you can specify an alternative base url from where all live data is loaded.

# 0 is no sky-light, 1 is fully lighted.
# You can change this at any time.
# Default is 1
sky-light: 1

# Whether the perspective view will be enabled for this map.
# Changing this to true requires a re-render of the map, only if the hires-layer is enabled and free-flight view is disabled.
# Default is true
enable-perspective-view: true

# Whether the flat (isometric, top-down) view will be enabled for this map.
# Having only flat-view enabled while disabling free-flight and perspective will speed up the render and reduce the maps storage-size.
# Default is true

# Changing this to true requires a re-render of the map, only if the hires-layer is enabled and perspective view is disabled.
