Config.json

config.json Documentation

The config.json file in NeoSTAND controls global plugin options for automatic stand assignation. This file is usually located in the plugin directory (e.g., Documents/NeoRadar/Plugins/NeoSTAND/config.json).

Below is an explanation of each supported option and the possible values they can take.

  "config_github_url": "",
  "update_interval": 5,
  "max_alt": 15000,
  "max_distance": 50.0,
  "CargoOperator": [],
  "Helicopters": [],
