[How-to] Make helicopters faster

FiveM Resource Development Discussion
1

Is there a way to make a helicopter faster? polmav or any other? I saw the handling.meta and I started increasing randomly but I don’t really know how do I make it faster

2

Nevermind, I found it in the CFlyingHandlingData item type fThrust Parameter

3

what parameter? :slight_smile:

Found this manual: https://forums.gta5-mods.com/topic/3842/tutorial-handling-meta/

2.3. CFLYINGHANDLINGDATA

Used for aircraft that use multiple flight modes.
Example: Hydra.

fThrust

The power of the engines.

  • The higher the value, the faster aircraft will be.

fThrustFallOff

  • How much time it takes for engine to go idle.

fThrustVectoring

fYawMult

fYawStabilise

fSideSlipMult

  • Side rudder force.

fRollMult

fRollStabilise

fPitchMult

fPitchStabilise

fFormLiftMult

  • Base lift factor that’s independent from wing’s attack angle.

fAttackLiftMult

  • Lift factor of the wing’s attack angle while rising.

fAttackDiveMult

  • Lift factor of the wing’s attack angle while diving.

fGearDownDragV

fGearDownLiftMult

fWindMult

  • Wind influence.

fMoveRes

vecTurnRes

vecSpeedRes

fGearDoorFrontOpen

fGearDoorRearOpen

fGearDoorRearOpen2

fGearDoorRearMOpen

fTurublenceMagnitudeMax

  • Maximum turbulence magnitude of Sine wave motion simulation.

fTurublenceForceMulti

  • Multiplier of Turbulence vertical force.

fTurublenceRollTorqueMulti

  • Multiplier of Turbulence y axis force.

fTurublencePitchTorqueMulti

  • Multiplier of Turbulence x axis force.

fBodyDamageControlEffectMult

  • Control noise factor contributed from plane damage.

fInputSensitivityForDifficulty

  • Control noise factor contributed from pilot driving skills.

Hi sight, are you able to send me the handling.meta file for any helicopter cause i cannot get it to work. Thanks in advance

Well, I found this somewhere, hope it helps.
You can mess with the CFlyingHandlingData Item. You can refer to the previous post if you want to understand some of the parameters and what they do.

If you just increase the thrust you end up going straight up, is there any way to fix this?
