Welcome to the only highway focused callout pack (that is still maintained) in LSPDFR!
This callout pack doesn't include shootings, robberies, muggins, kidnappings, stabbings, bank robberies, juggernatus or all the typical callouts you can find all over the script section of this website.
I'm more focused into creating callouts that are not too common or that can be approached from a different perspective. Why would I make you chase a vehicle around all of LS when I can make you surprise the criminals by deploying a spike strip and then, join the pursuit?
Remember officers don't have to deal with high speed pursuits or robberies everyday, there is also a side that is not that exciting but that officers have to do anyway. If you want to experience a different side to an officers work in the highways of LS, then give this callout pack a try.
IMPORTANT NOTE
If you are using Callout Manager or any other plugin that starts callouts on demand, be aware that these callouts are meant to be played as a trooper or an officer patroling close to a highway, so if you are in the middle of the map like in Great Chaparral, Harmony or in Vinewood Hills, the callouts will fail to start.
REQUIREMENTS:
- LSPDFR 0.4.9 (not included)
- RagePluginHook (not included)
- RageNativeUI (not included)
HOW TO INSTALL:
- Drag and drop the "lspdfr" folder into your main folder game.
- Drag and drop the "plugins" folder into your main folder game.
- Customize as desired in the ini file and xml files.
PLUGIN RECOMMENDATION
SceneManager by Rich
This plugin will help you manage traffic and you will surely need it for these callouts. If you don't have any plugin that can do something similar, you'll have a hard time playing this pack. I don't make it a requirement because is no longer maintained, but it still works!
Make sure to use the latest RageNativeUI version, do not use the version included in the plugin.

HOW TO ADD CUSTOM VEHICLES FOR HIGHWAYS
****DISCLAIMER****
I'm not responsible for any errors in your game/configuration if you decide to follow this tutorial. Always make a copy of any file you edit.
If you don't feel comfortable editing XML files, just DON'T do it and stick to your default configuration.
I'm not an expert when it comes to modifying these files. What you find here is the result of my own curiosity and experience.
As of version 1.15.9, my callouts use LSPDFR's built-in functions to spawn emergency vehicles/peds instead of creating them manually from my XML file.
For that reason, I recommend using LSPDFR's config files to add your custom vehicles/peds the same way you can do it in the XML file I provide. Here's a quick and extremely basic tutorial:
1. In your GTA V main folder, go to "lspdfr/data/".
2. Open "agency.xml". Make a copy before editing.
3. Look for "<Name>San Andreas Highway Patrol</Name>"
4. Once you find the highway agency, edit it to your liking with the vehicles and ped models you want for highways. You are mostly interested in the "<Vehicles>" and "<Peds>" sections.
5. Save when you are satisfied with the configuration.
*Only for EUP users*
1. Go to "lspdfr/data/custom/".
2. Open "agency_eup.xml". Make a copy before doing any changes.
3. Find "<Name>San Andreas Highway Patrol</Name>"
4. Edit to your liking just like in the file in step 4 from the previous section.
5. Save when you are satisfied with the configuration.
6. Open"agency_eupfr.xml". Make a copy before editing.
7. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
8. Save when ready.

I know this is a small, irrelevant update but last year was a very busy year for me, which is a good thing since I've been mostly being busy with work but sadly has also reduced the time I had for my hobbies and side projects, like this one. I'll try to make a bit more room this year for this callout pack so I can add a couple more callouts and work on some tweaks to make things feel fresh again.
Anyway, thank you to everyone who has played my callouts and for those who enjoy them like I do. You rock !
Happy New Year!
