Hydra Speed

Hello , i changing all of vehicles speed with vehicle handling but i can't change hydra speed for more than +270k/h , why? its mta limit?

Vehicle handling doesn't affect aircraft top speed because MTA has a separate velocity cap specifically for flying vehicles. This is controlled by setAircraftMaxVelocity.

The default value is 1.5, which roughly translates to that 270 km/h limit you're hitting. To increase it:

setAircraftMaxVelocity(3.0)

The parameter is a multiplier, not an actual speed value. Some reference points:
- 1.5 = default (~270 km/h)
- 2.0 = ~360 km/h  
- 3.0 = ~540 km/h
- 5.0 = ~900 km/h

There's no documented maximum limit for this value, but extremely high values may cause physics instability or unexpected behavior.

Keep in mind this applies to all aircraft globally, not per-vehicle. If you need to check the current value, use getAircraftMaxVelocity.

local currentMax = getAircraftMaxVelocity()
outputChatBox("Current aircraft speed cap: " .. tostring(currentMax))

So yeah, handling is for ground vehicle physics. Aircraft speed limits are a separate system entirely.
