+| ViewportHeightScale | Controls the height scale of the tactical view. Used to hide the world behind the Control Bar for 'Control Bar Pro' Addons. | 0.0 - 1.0 | 0.8 |
+
+## Command Line Arguments
+
+| Argument | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| -forcefullviewport | Forces full viewport mode for 'Control Bar Pro' Addons by setting ViewportHeightScale to 1.0 |
+
+## CursorCaptureMode Details
+
+The `CursorCaptureMode` option controls when the game window captures the mouse cursor, preventing it from
+leaving the game window boundaries. This is particularly useful for windowed mode gameplay.
+
+| Mode | Behavior |
+|------|----------|
+| **None** | Game window does not capture the cursor |
+| **InGame** | Game window captures the cursor when playing and observing |
+| **Always** | Game window captures the cursor always in menus and game |
+| **Auto** | Applies mode "InGame" when Windowed, "Always" when Fullscreen |
+
+The cursor capture is automatically released when the game window loses focus (e.g., when Alt+Tab is used to
+switch to another application).
+
+## ViewportHeightScale Details
+
+The `ViewportHeightScale` setting controls the height of the tactical view as a fraction of the screen height.
+This feature is specifically designed to support 'Control Bar Pro' Addons that modify the game's interface.
+
+**Values:**
+
+- `0.8` (default): Traditional control bar mode, tactical view uses 80% of screen height
+- `1.0`: Full viewport mode, tactical view uses entire screen height (control bar overlays the view)
+- Custom values between `0.0` and `1.0` for custom control bar configurations
+
+**Integration with Control Bar Pro Addons:**
+The game reads a `GenTool/fullviewport.dat` file to automatically enable full viewport mode when detected.
