The vehicle's spawn name (e.g. adder). Not sure? Use the Model Browser.

A preset sets sensible values you can then fine-tune below.

Edit FiveM vehicle handling — without needing to know the XML

handling.meta controls how a vehicle drives — its weight, power, top speed, braking balance, grip and suspension. This editor spells out what each value does and shows a live driving profile so you can see the effect of every change. The Behaviour Flags tab turns the game's most impactful switches — all-wheel steering, bulletproof tyres, armour, off-road grip, open-wheel physics — into simple toggles and writes the correct strHandlingFlags / strModelFlags hex for you. Export a drop-in handling.meta, a runtime Lua override, or a carcols.meta mod kit.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I put handling.meta?

Inside your vehicle resource's data folder, referenced from fxmanifest with data_file 'HANDLING_FILE' 'handling.meta'. Restart the resource to apply.

What do the behaviour flags change?

They flip big behaviours on and off — drivetrain and steering quirks, durability (bulletproof tyres, armour, indestructible body) and terrain/special modes. Each toggle sets a specific bit in the vehicle's flag values.
