Drag Chutes v3 - Realistic Drag Racing Parachutes for FiveM

Drag Chutes v3 is a fully synchronized, prop-based drag racing parachute system built for realism, simplicity, and performance.

There is no extra ID configuration and no framework dependency.

Drop it in, restart your server, and it works.

Designed for drag racing, RP, and competitive servers that want functional, immersive parachutes & not just visuals.

────────────────────────────────────────

✅ Works on ANY Vehicle

• Vehicle class blacklist supported (block motorcycles, planes, boats, etc.)

────────────────────────────────────────

🌐 Fully Synced (OneSync)

• All players see all deployed chutes in real time
