Inconsistency on vehicle weight. (infernus feels heavier)

[NianNuan]

Describe the bug

The bug I’m describing is primarily noticeable on racing servers (especially on Shooter Game Mode)

This issue is quite strange, and we have no clear idea of what triggers it. The only thing we do know is that, occasionally, when we join a server, our car (Infernus) feels noticeably different in terms of weight. Most of the time, it feels heavier, but on a different game launch or another day, the car suddenly feels lighter. For years, I believed this was just a placebo effect. However, recently, a growing number of experienced players have been complaining about it. Some have even stopped playing due to the inconsistency, as it significantly affects their vehicle's performance, especially in competitive matches.

Additionally, while we all play on the same server, we've noticed the weight discrepancy on different servers as well.

Steps to reproduce

we have no idea.

Version

Multi Theft Auto v1.6-release-22849 (Windows 10, 64-bit)
Multi Theft Auto v1.6-release-22829 (Windows 11, 64-bit)
and few more, probably.

Additional context

Additionally, while we all play on the same server, we've noticed the weight discrepancy on different servers as well.

here's an thread from 2023 in MTA Forum mentioning the same problem: https://forum.multitheftauto.com/topic/141859-heavy-handling/

Some players reported having the same issue with Hunter, the military helicopter, which is also widely used in Deathmatch, Oldschool and Hunter arenas on racing servers.

Maybe it's related to gravity ?

When did this start being noticed?

I remember a few players mentioning this theory around 2019-2020. Although it wasn’t very popular at the time, some players had already started noticing differences in the weight of their Infernus.

I've encountered a similar issue when playing Shooter gamemode, and I believe it might be related to RAM usage. If a significant amount of RAM is already being used before launching the game, it seems to make the car feel heavier and harder to control. I know this because I used a program called 'Razer Cortex,' which temporarily stops some background processes and restarts them after the gaming session. When I tried this, the Infernus vehicle became significantly lighter and much easier to control.

Sounds like a problem with code that modifies the handling of the Infernus. Never ran into this issue, haven't heard about it either on any other servers.
