Handling Editor

What the Handling Editor does

The Handling Editor tunes the handling.meta of a GTA V car for your FiveM server. You change a value, and it tells you at once what the car will do: top speed, 0-100 km/h, quarter mile and a lap estimate.

• 44 GTA V cars are built in with their real handling values, from supercars to SUVs and two motorcycles.
• Your own addon car works too: drop its handling.meta on the editor and pick the entry.
• 29 fields in five tabs, each with one sentence on what it does and the range its class uses in the game.
• A drag race over 1000 m against any built-in car, and two charts that show why the car is as fast as it is.

Without the editor, every change means editing the file, restarting and driving the car. With it, you restart once, when the numbers already look right.

What you get

• Download resource (.zip)

  A resource folder, for example sw_sultan_handling, with fxmanifest.lua, data/handling.meta and a README.txt. It goes straight into your resources.

• Copy handling.meta

  The handling.meta text on your clipboard, to paste into a resource you already have, such as your car pack.

The entry keeps the car's handlingName, so it replaces the original handling on your server. See Exporting.

What it costs

Nothing. The Handling Editor is free, needs no account and uses no credits.

• It runs in your browser. A handling.meta you load is read on your computer and never uploaded.
• The download is built on your computer as well.
• It does not save your work. Download or copy your tune before you leave the page.

How far to trust the numbers

The numbers come from a model of the game's driving physics. It was checked against public in-game measurements:

• Top speed, fully upgraded cars

  Vehicles:617
  Error:3.3 % on average, 80 % of cars within 3 %

• Time over 1000 m, stock and upgraded

  Vehicles:155
  Error:0.5 s on average

• Lap time

  Vehicles:482
  Error:about 2.0 s
