 # Query parameters
 
-You can use query parameters in the TAR1090 URL.
-
-Multiple parameters are separated by "&", like this:
-http://192.168.x.yy/tar1090/?icao=456789&enableLabels&extendedLabels=2&trackLabels&zoom=11&mapDim=0.4
+- The query parameters are appended to the URL you would normally use for tar1090.
+- Before the first query parameter a question mark ? is prepended, for each additional parameter an ampersand & is prepended.
+- Example: http://192.168.x.yy/tar1090/?icao=456789&enableLabels&extendedLabels=2&trackLabels&zoom=11&mapDim=0.4
 
 - Some parameters need a value. If no value if passed, the default one is used.
 - Some parameters do not take a value. They are active if used in the URL.(hideSideBar, hideButtons, ...).
+- Query parameters in tar1090 are not case sensitive.
 
 ## Search / filter
 
 - icao=icao - selects and isolates the selected plane(s). Separate multiple with commas.
-- icaoFilter=hex1,hex2,hex3 – Displays only the listed planes.
-- reg=registration - Direct link to specific aircraft registration(s). Separate multiple with commas.
+- noIsolation - show other planes and not only the ones selected by ?icao
+- icaoFilter=hex1,hex2,hex3 - Only show the mentioned hex ids, no other aircraft will ever be displayed
+- reg=registration - Direct link to specific aircraft registration(s). Separate multiple with commas. ?icao is preferred as this option takes longer to load.
 
 ## Rendering parameters
 
-- zoom=1-20 : set zoom level.
-- enableLabels=true : enable labels on aircraft ("L" button).
-- extendedLabels=value : select the labels type ("O" button) / Valid values are 0,1,2.
-- trackLabels=true : enable track labels ("K" button).
-- noVanish=true : persistence mode ("P" button).
-- outlineWidth=value : set width for the for aircraft icons
-- iconScale=0.1-x : scale the aircraft icon.
-- labelScale=0.1-x : scale the aircraft labels.
-- tempTrails=value : shows temporary trails for ## seconds of history.
-- largeMode=1-4 : cycles Icons size.
-- mapDim=0.1-1 : dim the map
-- mapContrast=0.1-1 : set the map contrast.
-- filterMaxRange=value : maximum distance of rendered tracks.
-- baseMap=maptype : change the map type (as defined in config.js).
-- mapOrientation=value : (in degrees).
-- monochromeMarkers=xxxxxx : set constant html color for markers (parameter is an hexadecimal color).
-- monochromeTracks=xxxxxx : set constant html color for tracks (parameter is an hexadecimal color).
-- outlineColor=xxxxxx : set outline color (parameter is an hexadecimal color).
-- sidebarWidth=xxx : size of sidebar in pixels.
+- zoom=1-20 - set zoom level.
+- enableLabels - enable labels on aircraft ("L" button).
+- extendedLabels=value - select the labels type ("O" button) / Valid values are 0,1,2.
+- trackLabels - enable track labels ("K" button).
+- noVanish - persistence mode ("P" button).
+- scale=0.1-x - overall interface scaling.
+- iconScale=0.1-x - scale the aircraft icons. (multiplies with ?scale)
+- labelScale=0.1-x - scale the aircraft labels. (multiplies with ?scale)
+- tempTrails=value - shows temporary trails for ## seconds of history.
+- mapDim=0.1-1.0 - reduce map brightness (negative values increase brightness)
+- mapContrast=0.1-1.0 - increase the map contrast (negative values decrease brightness)
+- filterMaxRange=value - maximum distance of rendered tracks.
+- baseMap=maptype - change the map type (as defined in config.js).
+- mapOrientation=0-360 - normally true north faces up, use this to change which true direction is pointing up.
+- monochromeMarkers=xxxxxx - set constant html color for markers (parameter is an hexadecimal color).
+- monochromeTracks=xxxxxx - set constant html color for tracks (parameter is an hexadecimal color).
+- outlineWidth=value - set width for the for aircraft icons (only works with webGL disabled)
+- outlineColor=xxxxxx - set outline color (parameter is an hexadecimal color, only works with webGL disabled)
+- sidebarWidth=xxx - size of sidebar in pixels.
+- hideSideBar - hides sidebar.
+- hideButtons - hides all buttons.
+- centerReceiver - conter the view on receiver position.
+- nowebgl - force rendering without WebGL.
