no lag for me. Try going into the Emergency Strobes.ini file and changing the

[AI]
//If true the AI will also have the strobes
Enable AI emergency vehicle strobes = True to False

Yeah even the developer says in another post to disable in the .ini the strobes for the AI

No, that's because to light up the dashboard they used the same lights that the headlights use.

Okay thank you for confirming this. I kind of thought that but, I did not know.

is it possible to disable the headlight wig wag ?

Yes, in the Emergency Strobes.ini file, under the section Player and AI set Enable headlights and Enable AI headlights to false.

@OfficerBenzo there's an update coming soon that fixes the performance issues along with other new features, you should have waited few days before posting the review

Ahhhh dang sorry man.  I had never reviewed it and used it off and on.  All good.  Definitely deserves the 5 star mark it was just the performance thing which I am sure you are working on.

Can you please add an option in the ini file, that`s allows you to turn on/off indicator lights on a specific vehicle?

Edited August 27, 20169 yr by bjornlil

WOW very grateful for this wonderful update!

@alexguirre

Hey, bud. Can you please re-add taillight wig-wags? It just doesn't feel right without them. Thanks!

If they don't work it's because of your carcols.

EDIT:

I tested each value under sirens 1-14, plus my custom 15. I found which variables control headlights, taillights, and police sirens. I now have realistically bright wig-wags and perfect siren lighting/ambience/environmental effects. I love it!

I recommend you to use v4.0.0. Previous versions have some performance issues.

Edited September 15, 20169 yr by alexguirre

Love it! Is there a way to make a pattern that flashes slow then speeds up then back to slow?

Keep up the great work.

how can you make the UI position Editable ?

Keep up the great work.

You can modify the Emergency Strobes Patterns.xml file and add a new pattern, where the first stages are slow and the next ones are faster.

If it's because it's cutoff, what resolution are you using?
