Technical Definition

What is handling.meta?

"The configuration file that defines a vehicle's physics, weight, speed, and traction."

Tuning your car

The handling.meta is the 'soul' of the vehicle. Every value inside (fMass, fInitialDriveForce, etc.) changes how the car feels.

FiveM Implementation

In FiveM, the handling.meta must be declared as a `HANDLING_FILE` in the manifest to take effect.

Troubleshooting

If a car flips over instantly or has no brakes, the handling.meta usually has an incorrect 'Center of Mass' or 'Brake Force' value. Our [Converter](https://gta5modsconvertor.com) preserves the original modder's handling to maintain the intended feel.
