@a63nt-5m1th Thanks man You Rock bro!

STRMODELFLAGS 2nd digit, what is the difference in the 4 abs flags?

@ikt Awesome thank you! is there any specific thing that you click next one you open it in there?

is there a way to find the CoM Z parameter of you're model?

when i step on the throttle the car spins out very quickly and i have trouble even just going around turns in the city or even just a uturn
if i go to initiate a u-turn .. say at a reasonable speed 15 mph or so ... when i start to input throttle the car suddenly whips around.
what value am i messing up here?

im a little confused with ---

" FSTEERINGLOCK
This multiplies the game's calculation of the angle of the steer wheel will turn while at full turn.
Steering lock is directly related to over/under-steer.

Values:
0.01 and above.

Values between 0.1 - 0.2 will simulate a long wheelbase.
Values around 0.75 and above will turn extremely fast. Higher values will cause the vehicle to spin out easily. "

 ---

most handling lines i see this value betweem 30.0 - 40.0
so how should it be adjusted? the suggestions on this topic say 0.1 - 0.75
........ my understanding of value has always been that 30.0 would be 30 degrees of tire angle ... 40.0 would be 40 degrees ...
if that was true wouldn't a higher angle be better for drifting?

exactly what does 1.54. WEAPONFORCEMULT VALUE do ?

@a63nt-5m1th Thank you so much! that does help! i have always had a fascination with commercial vehicles in this game and i feel like they dont get quite enough love, and off the shelf R* did such an arcady job if thats a word

@a63nt-5m1th man thank you so much for the info! i very much apperciate your wisdom here, It's helped me so much and im way better for it all! and i also have another question regarding the handling.meta file. can i add a new item "vehicle" line in there ... or can i only edit existing vehicles? my project is for the trailers, i have replaced my trailer models and trailers2 is a 53' and the trailers3 is a 28', however both those trailers use the same handling line. if i wanted to create a noticeable difference would adding a new handling line into the meta be possible, or would my game just crash?

@ikt said in Rear view "mirror":

nes (and peds bones), are drawn? It wouldn't be pretty or detailed

I've been having a lot of ideas about this topic for a while now but i dont know the coding well enough to see it through.
