Realistic Offroad Physics
Standalone offroad physics that punish wrong-vehicle terrain choices
Realistic Offroad Physics
Realistic offroad physics - This FiveM script brings the world of offroading to your FiveM server. No longer will players be able to drive any car on any terrain. Cars will sink into mud, sand, dirt, or any soft materials in general; making it much more difficult to traverse difficult terrains with vehicles not meant for that. Each material has its own parameters such as: depth, softness and traction.
Depth: Determines how deep vehicles can sink into a surface. The deeper they sink, the harder it is to drive, potentially causing vehicles to get stuck in materials like mud or wet sand.
Softness: Affects how quickly vehicles sink. Harder surfaces like gravel slow sinking, while soft surfaces like wet sand or mud cause rapid sinking.
Traction: Defines grip on the surface. Low traction reduces acceleration, braking, and turning, leading to skidding on materials like gravel or rocks.
What to expect
- Surface depth
- Vehicles will visually sink into the surface
- Loss of traction on slippery surfaces
- Highly realistic handling for each vehicle type and class
- Seamless and optimized synchronization for each player
- Insanely configurable
- Super low resource usage
- Fully standalone (no dependencies)
Off-road performance calculation factors
- Suspension height
- Wheel size
- Driven wheels (AWD or not)
- Weight
- Wheel count
- Weather
- Vehicle class
- Off-road tires
To conclude,
This script will absolutely overhaul the entire driving dynamic on your server. Players will need to think twice before choosing to go off-road. Cars not made for off-roading have a high likely hood of getting stuck if the player is inexperienced in off-road driving. Needless to say, with this script, you'll be able to ditch the "No GTA/Offroad driving" server rule. Now only real off-road vehicles will be able to handle the most difficult obstacles.
Realistic offroad physics does not modify the vehicle runtime handling meta, making it compatible with basically all resources.
Compatibility
- STANDALONE
- VRP
This resource will work flawlessly on all servers. Including ESX, QBCore, QBox, VRP as well as servers running no frameworks at all

Standalone install on our qb server, dropped it in and it just worked. Resmon sits at 0.00 idle, peaks under 0.05 when a convoy of trucks is plowing through mud. The fact it doesn't touch handling meta meant zero conflicts with our addon vehicle pack, which was the dealbreaker for me on every other physics script I tried.
finally a reason to actually buy the sandking instead of a kuruma for offroad events
Runs ESX Legacy, 80 slot RP server. Bought this after our offroad events kept getting ruined by people in sports cars beating actual 4x4s up the mountain. Took a bit of tuning on the softness values for sand to feel right (default felt a touch grabby on the Paleto dunes for us) but once it was dialled in, the whole driving culture on the server shifted. People ask staff what tyres a car has before buying it now. Only knock is I wish the config had presets per biome rather than per material, would save me an afternoon next time.
runs at like 0.02ms on resmon and the sinking actually looks legit. no more sandkings full sending the dunes in a sultan
Installed this on our QBCore offroad/trucking server last weekend and it's done exactly what we needed. We had a server rule about no offroad driving in regular cars and now we just deleted it — the script enforces it for us. Bennys customs lifted Sandkings actually feel different from a stock Sultan now, which is the whole point. Took maybe 10 minutes including tweaking the depth values for sand, didn't conflict with our handling.meta edits either since it doesn't touch them.
Works really well on qbox, sync between players is clean and the traction loss feels right on gravel. Only gripe is the config could use some better defaults per vehicle class — spent a good hour dialling in softness for wet sand because the out-of-the-box numbers had our trucks getting stuck way too easy. Once tuned it's been solid though, no resmon impact to speak of.
runs on esx legacy no issues, devs answered my ticket same day 👌
Run a 180 slot ESX roleplay server with a heavy focus on rural/county life — loggers, farmers, the moonshine crew, that whole vibe. We'd been looking for something to make the offroad areas around Paleto and Grapeseed actually feel like offroad and not just lower-fps tarmac. Tried a couple of free standalone handling tweaks before this, all of them either tanked performance or fought with our vehicle pack's custom handling lines. This one just sits on top and does its thing, doesn't touch the handling meta so our addon trucks still drive how the modeller intended. The sinking visual on mud is the part players keep messaging staff about, in a good way. Knocked a star because the docs are pretty thin if you want to add a custom material type, had to read through the exports myself to figure it out, but the actual code is clean enough that it wasn't painful.
