FiveM Car Flags: Waving Country Flags on Any Car
FiveM car flags are now part of the FiveMRides Vehicle Studio: pick any of 271 flags, your own image or a flag made by AI from a text description, choose where it goes (front wings, roof mast, window clip or pickup bed pole) and download the car with the flags built into its files. By default the flags wave in the wind in game, with GTA’s own vehicle cloth, the same system Rockstar uses on its own vehicle flags. No attach script, no props to spawn. Price: 1 credit per car, whatever the number of flags.
- What: the Flags add-on of the Vehicle Studio adds flags to any FiveM car you upload and builds them into the car model. They stream with the car on any server.
- Flags: 271 flags (countries, regions such as Quebec, Scotland or Catalonia, and a few international flags such as the EU and the UN), your own picture, or an AI flag (5 credits per picture).
- Placements: front wing pair, single wing, roof mast, window clip, pickup bed pole. Sizes S, M, L and XL. Up to 6 flag items per car.
- Motion: Waving (default, real GTA vehicle cloth) or Fixed. Window flags, extras and tuning options are always fixed (a GTA limit).
- On or off: always on, a vehicle extra you switch with
/flags, or tuning options in the mod shop with up to 8 countries to pick from. - Price: 1 credit per car, the 3D preview is free. Seen working in game on our test server on November 9 2026.
What does the Flags add-on do?
It takes a FiveM car you have the right to modify and adds flag staffs and flag cloths to its model file, measured on that car: the wing flags sit on top of the front wings just behind the headlights, the roof mast at the rear of the roof, the window clip on the top edge of a door window, the bed pole in the pickup bed. You see the result in 3D in your browser before you build, nudge the position if you want, and download one ready-to-stream resource.
Because the flags are part of the car, there is nothing to attach with a script, nothing to sync between players and no prop that floats away when the car drives. Every player who streams the car sees the same flags.

Where can the flags go?
| Placement | Where | Sizes (flag width) | Waving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wing pair | Two small staff flags on the front wings, the diplomatic or state car look | 20 to 36 cm | Yes |
| Single wing | One wing flag, left or right (up to 2) | 20 to 36 cm | Yes |
| Roof mast | An antenna style mast at the rear of the roof | 32 to 64 cm | Yes |
| Window clip | Supporter style flag on the top of a door window, left, right or both | 28 to 52 cm | Fixed (it follows the door) |
| Bed pole | A tall pole in a pickup bed, left, right or centre (up to 2) | 60 to 120 cm | Yes |
Each placement comes in four sizes, S, M, L and XL, and four staff finishes: chrome, black, gold and steel. A car takes up to 6 flag items. The bed pole needs an open bed or a flat rear: on a car without one, the Studio refuses it with a clear message instead of guessing.
Do the flags really wave in game?
Yes. GTA V has a cloth system for vehicles: Rockstar uses it for the flags on some of its own vehicles. The Studio builds your flag as that same kind of vehicle cloth, pinned along the staff, so the game moves it in the wind. We saw the flags wave in game on our test server on November 9 2026, on sedans and pickups. The full walkthrough is in how to add a waving flag to a FiveM car.
Waving is the default for wing, roof and bed flags that are always on. Fixed is an option for every flag: the cloth is baked in a still shape, flat or with a soft or strong ripple. Window clip flags are always fixed because they follow the door, and flags offered as extras or tuning options are always fixed (a GTA limit).
Can a flag glow at night?
Fixed flags have a night glow option: Off, Soft or Strong. The glow is steady, never blinking or pulsing. It works on fixed flags only, because the game’s cloth has no glow in it. Glowing colours look lighter than by day (a light blue turns cyan), so Soft is the better choice for flags with pale colours. You also pick when it lights: Always (it shows at night) or When the car is on (it lights while the engine runs, day and night, and Strong can wash the colours out in daylight).
Always on, extra or tuning option?
- Always on: the flags are part of the car. This is the only mode where flags can wave.
- Vehicle extra (1 to 12): players switch the flags on and off with any vehicle extras menu, or with the
/flags onand/flags offcommand included in the resource. A window flag cannot be an extra. - Tuning options: up to 8 flags of the same placement become options of one tuning slot, so players pick their country in the mod shop. On our test pickup they showed in the Aerials slot as “Flag: Canada”, “Flag: Mexico” and so on.
Details, extras numbers and the mod shop menu: flags as vehicle extras or tuning options.
How do I add flags to a FiveM car?
- Upload the car. Open the Vehicle Studio, sign in and upload one unlocked vehicle resource you have the right to modify.
- Open Flags. Pick Flags in the left rail and choose a placement: wing pair, single wing, roof mast, window clip or bed pole.
- Choose the flag. Search the catalogue, upload your own image or generate one with AI. Set the size, the staff finish, Waving or Fixed, and nudge the position in 3D if needed.
- Choose how players get it. Leave it always on, make it a vehicle extra, or offer up to 8 flags as tuning options of one slot.
- Build and install. Check the total in Your build, download the resource, add it to your server and restart it. Spawn the car and look at the flags in game once.
Limits
- Visual only: flags and staffs have no collision.
- Waving needs the flag to be always on. Window clip flags, extras and tuning options are always fixed (a GTA limit).
- From the right side of the car you see the back of the cloth, like a real flag: the canton stays next to the staff.
- Catalogue flags are drawn at a 4:3 ratio. A picture with another shape is cropped or fitted on a colour, your choice.
- Night glow is for fixed flags only and makes colours look lighter.
- Seen in game on our own FiveM test server (GTA V Legacy) on a few sedans and pickups. GTA V Enhanced and other cars have not been checked yet. Always look at the built car in game once.
- One vehicle per upload. Escrowed (
.fxap) resources cannot be opened.
Flag questions
How do I put a flag on a car in FiveM?
Upload the car to the FiveMRides Vehicle Studio, open Flags, pick a flag and a placement (wing, roof mast, window or pickup bed), then build. The flags are built into the car files, so no script or prop is needed.
Do the flags wave in the wind?
Yes, by default. The Studio builds them as GTA vehicle cloth, the same system Rockstar uses on its own vehicle flags, and we saw them wave in game. Window flags, extras and tuning options are always fixed (a GTA limit).
Which countries are available?
271 flags: the countries of the world, regions such as Quebec, Scotland, Wales and Catalonia, and international flags such as the EU and the UN. You can also upload your own image.
Can I use my own flag or logo?
Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF up to 10 MB, then crop it to fill the flag or fit it on a background colour. Use only images you have the right to use.
Can AI make a flag for me?
Yes. Describe the flag in a sentence and the Studio draws flat flag artwork for 5 credits per picture. Real country flags, brands, team or police emblems, political or hate symbols and real people are refused, and a refused or failed picture is not charged.
Can players switch the flags on and off?
Yes, if you make them a vehicle extra: use any extras menu or the /flags on and /flags off command included in the resource. A window flag cannot be an extra.
Can players choose their country in the mod shop?
Yes. Up to 8 flags of one placement can be tuning options of one slot. On our test pickup they appeared in the Aerials slot as Flag: Canada, Flag: Mexico and so on.
Can the flags glow at night?
Fixed flags can have a steady night glow, Soft or Strong. It never blinks. Waving flags cannot glow because GTA cloth has no glow.
Is this the same as vehicle flags in vehicles.meta?
No. The flags in vehicles.meta (FLAG_ settings) are behaviour switches of the game. This page is about real flags you see on the car.
How much does it cost?
1 credit per car, whatever the number of flags. Upload, analysis and the 3D preview are free with an account.
