Raycin Menu (F5) — The Player Menu¶

Press F5 to open the Raycin Menu — the main player-facing menu. It opens in freeroam, in a pre-race lobby (race room), and while spectating; it's only blocked while you're actually driving in a race, where grabbing the mouse cursor would eat your steering. (This is separate from the F10 native admin menu, covered in Raycin Menu — Admin Features.)

What you see depends on your tier (Member / Supporter / Admin / Founder) — locked tabs simply don't appear.

Tabs at a glance¶

Tab	What it does
Home	Welcome message, your name + tier, quick links to Discord & raycin.com, a featured Race Setup Help — Full Guide button, Top Racers (top 5), Recording (Rockstar Editor clips), and your Quick Shortcuts across the bottom (every starred action, with live ON/OFF dots on toggles)
Inbox	Messages from Raycin staff, and your replies. A number on the tab means unread messages. See Inbox below
Shortcuts	Your personal starred actions — run, reorder (drag or ▲▼), remove. See Personal Shortcuts below
Race	Shortcuts: Open Creator, Open Race, My Racing Vehicles, Test this car (a solo Lap Board test of the car you're in, see Competitive → Test this car), Quit Race, plus Freeroam Practice teleports
Player Hub	Your Race Points, leaderboard, appearance and flag options, and My Outfits (your saved outfits and GTA's own outfits)
Teleports	One-click teleports to zones and points of interest. Freeroam only — refused in a race room or race
Race Director	Host race-control actions — unlocks while in a race room or spectating (during the race itself, use the ESC pause menu's Race Director instead)
Lobby Tools	Invite players, quick vehicle-class tools — unlocks while in a race room (pre-race lobby)
Jumps	Spawn temp ramps, teleport to any of the 50 vanilla stunt jumps, freeroam/track leaderboards — see Jumps
Dev Tools 🔒	Admin-gated diagnostics, player-role tools, Acceleration Test Access grants, and the reports review list
Spawn Vehicles	Opens the full Raycin Vehicle Menu (see below)
Acceleration Test 🔒	Record real vehicle performance (Run max, 0-60, splits) — admin-only by default, see Acceleration Test Tool
Report	Report a player for misconduct — pick the player, a reason, add details
Race Records + Info	Direct links to the stats site: Stats, Tracks, Cars, Lap Times, Race History, Track Records, Acceleration Test, Garage, GTA Vehicles, Whitelist
Help	In-game help articles with links to the full guides on raycin.com
Settings	Where everything on screen sits and how it looks, per PC: this menu, the Acceleration Test HUD, minimap size, the Vehicle Transform notice, sector splits, Replay ghost (which ghost you race, and in which track categories), HUD layout (every race pop-up — position, size, transparency), the Live Standings panel, and your own checkpoint look — see Settings tab below

Personal Shortcuts (star anything)¶

Almost every button in the menu has a ☆ star beside it — teleports, flags, weather/time presets, Jumps actions, Dev Tools toggles, the Speed Test recorder, and more. Click the star to save that action to your Shortcuts tab; click it again (or the row's ✕) to remove it. Saved shortcuts persist across relogs and PCs (stored server-side per license).

Reorder — drag rows with the mouse, or use the ▲▼ buttons. They all appear in Quick Shortcuts on the Home screen, in your order.
Toggles show live state — starred toggles (God Mode, NoClip, Infinite Ammo, Acceleration Test recording) get a green/grey dot on the Home bar and light up gold while ON, so you always know whether clicking turns it on or off.
Runs exactly like the real button — shortcuts that need the menu closed first (NoClip, Acceleration Test, Ymap Loader) close it, and confirm-guarded ones (Restart raycin_races) still ask first.
Tier-locked shortcuts don't vanish — if your tier can't use a saved action right now (e.g. while using "Preview as role"), the row shows a 🔒 and its Run button is disabled; it unlocks again automatically. What can't be starred: text-input forms, per-player action rows, and the hosting/whitelist/preview-role mode chips (deliberate — server-access modes are too dangerous for a one-tap Home button).

Outfits — My Outfits & GTA Outfits¶

F5 → Player Hub → My Outfits opens your wardrobe from anywhere in freeroam. It has two tabs: My Outfits (the ones you saved) and GTA Outfits (the game's own GTA Online store outfits).

Nothing is kept until you press Confirm. Whatever you try on, Confirm keeps it and Cancel puts back exactly how you looked when you opened the menu.

My Outfits — the outfits you saved¶

Save an outfit: F5 → Player Hub → Change Appearance (or walk into a clothing store), dress how you like, press Save Outfit and give it a name.
Wear one: open My Outfits, press Select on it, then Confirm.
Delete one: press Delete next to it.
Saved as a special ped? An outfit remembers the ped it was saved on. Pick one you saved as a clown, a monkey or any other ped and you turn back into that ped — face, hair and clothes.
Outfits belong to one character. Your other characters have their own list.

GTA Outfits — every GTA Online store outfit¶

About 800 ready-made outfits from GTA Online, in eight categories: Heists, Business & Formal, Street & Casual, Racing & Flight, Arena War, Combat & Tactical, Holidays and Costumes & Onesies — plus our own Raycin outfits, listed first under their own Raycin button.

Hover over an outfit to preview it. Rest the mouse on any outfit and after a moment you're wearing it. Move off the list and your look goes back to the last outfit you clicked (or how you looked when you opened the menu).
Pick one: click Select Outfit, then Confirm to keep it.
Categories: click a category button above the list to show only those outfits; All shows everything again.
Search: type in the search box. It matches the outfit's name or its category — so heist finds every heist outfit even though GTA calls them things like "The Accomplice", and gorka finds the Gorka suits.
Normal character only. GTA's outfits only fit the normal male or female character. If you're a special ped (clown, monkey and so on) the tab isn't shown — pick your own saved outfit in My Outfits first, press Confirm, then reopen.

Good to know¶

Freeroam only. My Outfits won't open in a race room or a race.
Outfit Changer spots: the same wardrobe opens at an Outfit Changer spot next to most clothing stores — walk in and press E.
Special peds have little clothing. Story and street peds (clown, monkey…) only come with a few built-in variations, so Change Appearance shows almost nothing to pick for them. The full wardrobe is on the normal male and female character.

Recording — Rockstar Editor clips¶

Record gameplay clips for the Rockstar Editor without the F1 key (F1 is used by txAdmin on this server).

Home → Recording (right-hand column, under Top Racers): Start recording, then Stop & save or Stop & discard. The card shows whether you're recording right now.
Key: End starts a recording, and pressing it again stops and saves. Change it under Esc → Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM ("Recording: start / stop & save"). "Recording: stop & discard" has no key until you give it one.
Works during races — the menu can't be opened while you're driving, so use the key there. Recording only touches your own game; it has no effect on the race or other players.
Watching and editing clips: from the FiveM main menu → Replay Editor. There's no in-game button for the editor on purpose — opening it disconnects you from the server.

Good to know: the game only tells us whether it's recording. "Recording saved" means the save was requested; the game gives no confirmation that the file was written. If a recording stops on its own (for example the game's replay memory limit), you'll see "Recording stopped".

The Spawn Vehicles tab hands off to the full Raycin Vehicle Menu (also available by typing /vehmenu in chat). There is no direct keybind for it any more — the old F2 bind was retired so everything routes through the F5 menu.

Armed vehicles are admin-only. The Ruiner 2000, Deluxo, Scramjet, Vigilante, Toreador, Technical, Blazer Aqua and the armoured Boxville can only be spawned by admins, and in freeroam vehicle weapons and gunner seats only fire for players approved for weapons.

Inside the vehicle menu:

Real screenshots — every vanilla GTA vehicle shows an actual in-game captured photo, not stock art. Hover over a thumbnail to see a large preview panel on the right of the screen.
Favorites first — star a vehicle and it sorts to the top of every category list; the Favorites tab shows only starred vehicles.
Recently Spawned strip — your last 5 spawned vehicles appear as chips above the category bar. Click a chip to instantly re-spawn it.
Custom colours & plates — Pick Color / Random color, plus the Custom Plate panel with several plate styles.
Layout settings (⚙ gear icon by the search bar) — choose menu Size (Small / Medium / Large), Orientation (vertical grid or a single horizontal row), screen position (left/centre/right × top/centre/bottom), and Spawn with radio (On / Off — with Off, vehicles spawn silent but you can still turn the radio on manually). Saved on your PC.

Some vehicles show NO PIC

Custom add-on vehicles (e.g. the DLC Kortz pack) don't have captured photos yet — they still spawn and drive fine.

Settings tab¶

Everything you see on screen is yours to place — this menu, the race pop-ups, the Live Standings panel, the minimap, the checkpoints. Settings are per PC (not synced between machines) and only change what you see; nothing here alters the race for anyone else.

How every block works¶

Each block on the Settings tab follows the same pattern, so once you have done one you have done them all:

Control	What it does
Position	Buttons for where it sits — left/centre/right and top/middle/bottom, or a nine-spot grid
Fine-tune arrows	Nudge it 10 px per click; Reset puts that one element back to its default
Transparency slider	30–100 %
Size slider (HUD layout only)	50–200 %. Everything is already sized to your screen height, so 1080p, 1440p and 4K get the same proportion — this scales that up or down
Preview	Shows a sample of that element exactly where you have put it, even outside a race. The menu hides for about six seconds so you can see it, then comes back on its own

Blocks open and close like an accordion and remember which ones you had open.

The blocks¶

Menu position & transparency — where this F5 menu itself sits, and how see-through it is.
Acceleration Test HUD — the live readout shown while recording a Acceleration Test run; its own position and transparency.
Minimap size (added 29 August 2026) — Normal / Bigger, switching your in-game radar (bottom-left corner) into the game's own Big Map mode — the same view Z/Tab shows temporarily, kept on persistently instead. Applies everywhere — freeroam, races, menus — not just this menu. Also switchable without opening the menu at all: Numpad + / Numpad - toggle it instantly (rebindable under the game's own Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM, same as any other keybind here).
Vehicle Transform notice — the "Vehicle Transform!" banner shown during a race when a checkpoint-triggered vehicle swap fires. Nudge, Reset, Preview.
Sector splits — turns sector timing on: Off / Marked tracks only / All tracks. What it shows and how the comparison works is in In-Race → Sector Splits. Where the banner sits is set in HUD layout, below.

HUD layout (added 15 September 2026) — every race pop-up, one set of controls. Pick the overlay, then place it:

Overlay	What it is	Default
Race HUD	The box that stays up all race: position, lap, checkpoint, times, speed, car	Bottom right
Lap card	"LAP 2 / 6" and "LAP COMPLETE 0:36.498 −0.702" on one card, so they never overlap each other	Top centre
Sector split	The sector time banner	Bottom centre
Message of the day	The host's message, shown once at the start	Bottom centre
Personal best	The PERSONAL BEST pop-up when you beat your own lap	Top right
Qualifying	The time-left / best-lap card during qualifying	Top right

Nine screen spots, nudge, Size, Transparency, Preview this overlay, Reset (that overlay only). Overlays placed in the same spot stack up with a gap rather than covering each other, in a fixed order (qualifying → lap card → sector → MOTD → personal best), and the race HUD box always keeps its spot: overlays in the same place queue next to it. Full detail in In-Race → HUD Layout.

Live Standings panel — settings for the in-race leaderboard (press Z during a race to show it — see In-Race HUD → Live Standings Panel for the full control scheme):
- Compact / Medium / Full — sets your default size. Full is the only size with the extra columns below. You can also resize instantly mid-race by holding Z, without opening this menu.
- Best Lap / Last Lap — pick up to 2 extra columns, shown only in Full size. Gap-to-leader is always shown regardless of size.
- Preview — shows the panel with sample data so you can check your size/column choices without needing to be mid-race.
Race checkpoints — your own look — colour, effect and crossing sound for race checkpoints. See below.

What does not move: the countdown / finish banners in the centre of the screen. The main race HUD box moves now: pick Race HUD in HUD layout.

Race checkpoints — your own look¶

Checkpoints are yours to style. Everyone in a race sees their own choice, so changing this never alters the race for anybody else, and it never affects where a checkpoint is or how easy it is to hit — only how it looks and sounds to you.

Colour tints the checkpoint ring and the direction chevron on it. Pick a swatch, or leave Default for the game's own colour.

Some checkpoints keep their own colour on purpose, and your choice will not override them — a vehicle-swap gate stays orange, a random-vehicle gate stays gold. Those colours are telling you something about the checkpoint, and losing that would cost you more than a colour preference is worth.

Effect is the optional particle gate — two columns either side of the road you drive between.

Choice	What happens
Host's choice	Whatever the race host set. The default.
Off	No effect, even if the host turned it on.
Smoke / Steam / Fire / Flare	Always that effect, even if the host had it off.

Smoke and Fire render their own colour and ignore the colour swatch; Steam and Flare take it, so pick one of those if you want a coloured gate.

Crossing sound replaces the beep as you pass a checkpoint, including a Silent option. Only the ordinary crossing changes — the distinct sounds for a successful or failed section, a warp and a vehicle transform all stay as they are, so you never lose the difference between them.

Preview draws a real checkpoint on the road in front of you in your chosen colour and plays your chosen sound. The menu hides for about six seconds so you see it exactly as you would at speed, then comes back. It only works in freeroam — during a race a stray checkpoint could be mistaken for a real one.

Inbox — messages from staff¶

Raycin staff can send you a message at any time, even while you're offline. It waits in Inbox (F5), and a pop-up tells you about it when it arrives or the next time you join. A number on the Inbox tab shows how many are unread.

Reply from the same screen. Your reply goes to all Raycin staff, so someone will see it even if the person who wrote to you is offline.
You can reply once staff have messaged you; you can't start a conversation or message other players from here. To report someone, use Report.
Discord: if you linked Discord on your raycin.com account, staff messages also arrive as a Discord message from the Raycin bot. Reply in game, not on Discord — the bot doesn't read replies.
Replies are limited to a few every 10 minutes.

Important messages, announcements and events. Sometimes staff send a notice everyone needs to see — an Important message (red), an Announcement (gold) or an Event (blue). It's pinned at the top of your Inbox, and when you're in freeroam (never during a race) it pops up as a card in the middle of the screen. Press I've read this and it won't show again; Remind me later brings it back the next time you join. Notices disappear on their own once they end. News (green) is lighter: it's listed in your Inbox and on the welcome banner, with no pop-up and nothing to confirm. An Event can have a start time, shown in UK time with a countdown on the welcome banner.

Link your Discord. Until you have, the Home screen shows a Link your Discord card (and you get a short reminder about once a week when you join). Click it (see Raycin Discord for the full guide), log in to raycin.com and press Link Discord — Discord asks you once to allow it. That one click is all it takes: when your whitelist is approved the Raycin bot adds you to the Raycin Discord with the right channels automatically, and staff messages reach you there too.

For staff (Founder/Admin): the Inbox shows every conversation, newest first, with unread replies counted. Search any player by name — online, whitelisted, or anyone who has raced here — pick them, and send. Under each of your messages you can see whether the player has read it in game, and what happened on Discord (sent, not linked, DMs closed, …).

Server news for staff. Open Send a notice, pick a type and send it to Everyone. It appears on everyone's welcome banner straight away, with no file to edit and no restart. Use News for quick updates such as "Restart at 6pm"; it doesn't pop up. For an Event, fill in Starts (UK time): the banner counts down to it, the Discord post shows the time in each reader's own time zone, and the notice stays up at least until the event starts. The banner shows the newest three notices.

Edit (on a sent notice): change the text, type, start time or how long it shows, then Save changes. It updates on everyone's banner and Inbox straight away, and its Discord post is edited in place. Players who already confirmed it aren't asked again. Notices posted before 10 Oct 2026 update in game only.
Repeat every week (Events): for regular events like Friday's Race Night. Set the first start time and tick the box, and the banner always counts down to the next one. Pick No end date to keep it going.
Withdraw takes a notice off everywhere; its Discord post is greyed out and marked Withdrawn.

Report a player¶

Open Report, pick the player from the online-players dropdown, choose a reason, optionally add details, and submit. Reports are stored server-side and reviewed by staff — you don't need to be online when it's reviewed. There's a short cooldown between reports to prevent spam.

Clickable links & the browser warning¶

Links in the menu (Home links, Help articles, Race Records + Info, and the post-spawn welcome banner) open your real Windows browser on top of the game. FiveM always shows a one-time confirmation first — "This link may not be secure…" — that prompt comes from the FiveM client itself and appears on every server for every external link. Our links all point at raycin.com / our Discord, so just confirm and the page opens.

Shortly after you spawn in, the welcome banner slides in on the right. It stays until you close it with ✕ or Esc, or drive off. Bring it back any time with /welcome. It shows:

Part	What it tells you
Greeting, Career RP, rank, wins	Your tier and country flag, overall standing and win rate. No flag yet? Set one in Player Hub → Set My Flag or with `/setflag GB`
This week	Your place over the last 7 days and how far behind the driver above you are (with their flag)
Inbox	Unread staff messages or notices still to read (only when there are some)
Next event	The next event (such as Friday's Race Night) with a live countdown
Live now	Players online and the public races running. Join puts you straight into a lobby that has room. Updates every 20 seconds while the banner is open
Server news	The newest notices from staff. Click a title to open it
While you were away	Your track records beaten since your last visit, rank changes and new tracks (only when something happened)
Track of the day, tip	A featured track with its record, and a handy tip
Icons beside ✕	Open the Raycin Discord and raycin.com
