'''handling.cfg''' (or '''handling.dat''' or '''handling.meta''') is a file used by the [[GTA III Era|Grand Theft Auto III era]] game engines for vehicle data. In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the file is known as '''handling.dat''' and calculates more factors. In [[Grand Theft Auto V]], the file is known as '''handling.meta'''.
{{lowercase title}}
The '''<code>handling.cfg</code>''' file stores handling [[CFG|configuration]] data and settings for vehicles in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].


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. The file is often edited when installing [[Modifications|vehicle mods]].
==GTA III and GTA Vice City==


== Criticisms ==
===Format and syntax description===
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.
The file is in plain text format so it can be opened with any text editor (like [[wikipedia:Microsoft Notepad|Notepad]]). Line comments are indicated by the character <code>;</code> (semicolon) and empty lines are allowed. They can be placed anywhere in the file. Each entry takes up one line and follows a specific format detailed below. Data in each entry are separated by <code> </code>&nbsp;(space) and <code> </code>&nbsp;(horizontal tab). The file must contain the line <code>;the end\n</code> (<code>;the end</code> with at least an empty line after it) in order for the game to stop reading the file. The length of each line is limited to 200 characters and the size of the file is limited to 55000 bytes but the games do not perform any checks on the limits so going past them can cause instabilities or crashes.


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