What is a Map Terrain Type?

The type of terrain rendered by the map can be modified with the MapTerrainType.

• Default: The map terrain consists of either elevation data or high resolution 3D models.

• Elevated: The map terrain consists only of elevation data. No high resolution 3D models are used.

• Flat: Both elevation and high resolution 3D models are disabled. The map terrain surface will be flat.

Map terrain types: default, elevated and flat.

If the scenario does not require the higher resolution data, disabling the terrain can improve performance. Likewise, the Flat type requires the least amount of performance overhead.
