'''handling.cfg''' is a file used by the [[GTA III Era|Grand Theft Auto III era]] game engines for vehicle data. Being relatively simple to edit, many gamers tweak vehicle settings in order to change a vehicle's handling properties, such as acceleration, mass, center of mass, ride height and braking force. In [[GTA IV]] the file is known as '''handling.dat''' and calculates more factors.
The '''<code>handling.cfg</code>''' file is a text data [[:Category:File Formats|file format]] which sets many performance and behaviour values for each vehicle in GTA III, GTA VC and GTA SA. The file can be opened and edited with any text editor.


==GTA III==
==Criticisms==
It is a generally held opinion that vehicles tend to have an unrealistic amount of traction, and hence have an exaggerated capacity to take corners at speed. This also renders sustained drifting almost impossible. The game engine calculates a vehicle's maximum speed based on its 'acceleration' value and its 'mass' value. This led the heavy duty trucks and buses in GTA III era games to have higher top speeds than the sports cars. The default brake force values on almost all vehicles are so high that any use of the brakes causes all four wheels to lock up, making it difficult to slow for corners. Those who seek a more realistic driving experience may tweak these settings (see below.)


===Standard Data===
Ironically, GTA IV's vehicle's handling has been argued by some to be too realistic due to heavily decreased traction and  more subtle oversteer.
This section contains all the performance settings for land vehicles and provides the base settings for boats, bikes and flying vehicles. The special behaviour of boats, bikes and flying vehicles are [[hardcoded]] in GTA III and are not included in the <code>handling.cfg</code> file.


The below table provides the column letter, column name and a brief description for each setting available in this section.
