[4.5.0] - AirControl does not work on DefaultMap

'Defaultmap 'is deliberately a per-file definition. If you need a global unconditional override use 'gamedefaults' instead. Its settings persist across files.

Wait, so gamedefaults is a thing? I completely overlooked that.

I don't remember that being on the wiki last I checked. When the heck did that get added?

That got added when I exported Hexen's default map settings to MAPINFO. That was 12 years ago when I encountered the same problem as you did now, i.e. that 'defaultmap' is a non-cumulative per-file setting and couldn't change it because existing mods were depending on this trait.

Okay, using gamedefaults works as intended. Thanks for clarifying that Graf.

So I suppose the way defaultmap works should be added to the wiki.

I suppose this is a chalk up of user error. Sorry about that.

That's been addressed.
