What does fDownforceModifier actually do in GTA 5 and FiveM?
In the RAGE engine, fDownforceModifier applies artificial vertical downforce proportional to the vehicle's forward velocity squared ($v^2$). Unlike real aerodynamic wings that cause severe drag, GTA's downforce modifier increases cornering grip at high speeds without destroying vehicle top speed when balanced correctly.
How do you stop custom cars in FiveM from bouncing or flipping over curbs?
Increase fSuspensionReboundDamp (set between 1.8 and 2.4) and reduce fSuspensionForce slightly. This prevents the spring from violently rebounding when hitting uneven curbs, eliminating the trampoline launch effect.
