Default Camera Settings

I am trying to get the camera to zoom out a bit further but for some reason I can't find the right settings. I found this in gamedata.ini

Code:
	;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	;These are the primary camera settings
	;****CHANGING ANY OF THESE VALUES WILL AFFECT CINEMATICS*****
	;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	DefaultCameraMinHeight			= 120.0	;The minimum height of the camera relative to the terrain.
	DefaultCameraMaxHeight			= 700.0	;The maximum height of the camera relative to the terrain.
	DefaultCameraPitchAngle			= 37.5	;The pitch angle of the camera off top down view.
	DefaultCameraYawAngle			= 0.0	;The direction the camera faces by default.
	DefaultCameraScrollSpeedScalar	= 1.0	;How much faster or slower all scrolling is.
	;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	;****DO NOT CHANGE ABOVE VALUES *********
	;****PS: These values haven't been changed since original Generals anyways, this is an educational message.
	;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
		
	CameraLockHeightDelta = 500.0
	CameraTerrainSampleRadiusForHeight = 1.0 ;Controls how sensitive the camera height adjust is to nearby terrain. If you move the camera near a mountain, it'll raise up sooner with a large value.
As you can see I made some rather exaggerated changes but they had no effect ingame. So, where are the settings I should change?

As far as I remember, you can find the entry in the according map.ini. Changing in the gamedata.ini will have no effect. This way you can adjust camera settings for every single map to your likings.

Yep, they are set on a per-map basis now, usually in World Builder itself.

Default can't figure it out

I have bfme2 and I'm looking in Maps.big and the map.ini for each map, but I don't see where you can edit the default height for the camera?

I tried adding a GameData
End segment to set the default height but it froze on loading.

How can I increase the default allowed height?

Nevermind, I figured it out. Need to open the map in worldbuilder.
