instructions to the car models often see settings "vehicles.ide". Never changed it, thought it is not needed. Can you tell me what it changes? What is it for?

You can do all sorts with the vehicles.ide file. You can change which handling line the vehicles uses (I.e if you have police2, it uses the police 2 handling line, but in the .ide, you can change it so the police2 car uses the cavalcade handling line without having to open the handling line file) You can turn on or off the vehicles dirt texture, which is controlled by one of the numbers. You can change the engine sound, the way the doors open, the animations for getting in, out and sitting in the car, you can add a variety of extensions to a vehicle to change what GTA 4 does with it by adding extensions on the end. The most notable tag people add to the end of a vehcile.ide line is the +livery tag.
