Name

handling.cfg - contains car stats (speed, braking, dimensions...)

Location

data\handling.cfg

Description

Handling.cfg contains all information regarding how vehicles perform, it is made up of HandlngID lines which have 30 parameters each. These lines are assigend to vehicles in default.ide. Here I'll go over all parameters.

Parameters

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z AA AB AC AD

I think the best thing to do is to list the parameter descriptions how they appear in handling.cfg's header Eventually I would like to get permission from the guys doing the GTA3 handling.cfg Documentation page over at gta3mods.com and use there info.

To Do

I'd like to get permission from the guys doing GTA3 handling.cfg Documentation to use the information in the handbook. If someone working on that project reads this and would like to let me know if I can or can't use there work please email me. I want to use the documentation not because I want to just copy what you have but I want to get all the work in one place this aplies to anything else the purpose for this handbook is to package all findings neatly. If I did every thing my self it would kill that purpose.
