What are LODs in FiveM vehicles?
LOD means Level of Detail. A vehicle model ships in several versions, from the full model to very simple ones, and the game swaps between them as the vehicle gets farther from the camera.
The four levels
GTA V vehicles use up to four levels: High, Medium, Low and Very Low. Up close you see High. Far away the game draws the simpler versions.
What LODs save on a server
With LODs, many vehicles on screen cost less to render and the game runs smoother for players. A model with only the High level draws the full model at every distance.
Which Nilo3D models have them
The Coil S-Cooter and all three hoverboards (Airglider, Girlboard, Neonboard) ship with 4 LODs, High to Very Low.
