set g_bNewTerrainEnableDynamicLights 0 // If New Terrain and new trees will use dynamic lighting
set g_bNewTerrainRenderShrubs 0 // If you want Shrubs to be rendered
set g_bNewTerrainRenderGrass 0 // grass
// reflections, shadows and fancy graphics
set g_bEnvironmentMapping 0 // 0 for more performance , reflections
set g_bWaterEnvironmentMapping 0 // 0 for more performance, Reflections
set g_bShadowMapping 0 // 0 for more performance, Shadows
set g_bShadowOnSmoke 0 // 0 for more performance, Shadows
set g_bReducePSFires 1 // 1 for more performance
set g_bHdrLighting 0 // Disables the HDR lighting (default 1/true).
set g_nAnisotropicValue 0 // AF (0 is default)
set g_nPostAAMode 0 // FXAA on/off (0 - off default)

set g_fNewTerrainTessellationFactor 0.2 // default 0.5 - 3d: .tessfactor X
set g_bNewTerrainPhotorealForce4KTiles 1 // default 0, forces 4k instead of 16k Photoreal if installed
set g_nNewTerrainHiresTilesDistKM 16 // default 32 km, may affect VRAM usage
set g_bRenderNewTerrainToENVMap 1 // default 1 reflections will look much worse (Instead of terrain there will be fog color)
set g_fNewTerrainFrustumCullingFactor 1.0 // default 1.0 - culling of GPU rendering. 3d: .ntfrustum X
set g_nPrefilterENVSampling 1024 // default 1024, – Decide how many texturing passes the Environment mapping. Reducing the default value may help with performance.
