Harris County (Tx) Constable - Precinct 4 (subdued) 1.0.0

Hey there!  Well, after about a year of reaping the benefits of everyone else's work and creativity, I figure it was time to return the favour.  I started working with liveries earlier this year - mostly modifying those in my game only.  Once I got used to the graphics program, I began working on a few projects I picked up from requests posted on one of the Facebook groups.  Have definitely learned a lot along the way (still learning!), and found I enjoyed the process (most of the time, lol)! They were happy with what I produced, and encouraged me to upload my work.  So, this one is my first public livery release.  I know it is a relatively simple one, but I spent my time working on it.

This is a subdued-style livery, for Harris County Constable Precinct 4, outside of Houston, Texas.  I do not know the actual operational usage of this livery by Pct 4 - it may be speed or traffic enforcement, but could also be for gang/drug/special operations.  If anyone knows, please let me know in a comment or PM, and I can update the info here!

The original request was for the skin to be used on Emergency Distributors FPIU (****NEW LINK****  below, as of end Dec 22), which is an excellent vehicle in game.  But, I make no promises that the model is accurate to what Pct 4 uses for their FPIUs - as far as equipment, light bar, lighting pattern, etc.  Also, just for fun - I thought I would make the same livery for an unmarked Charger, and went with the recent release (link below) from Emergency Distributors for some consistency.  But, I have no idea if Pct 4 uses Chargers with this subdued livery - it looks good, though!   Thought I would do a lore-friendly Blaine County version as well - that might work well with the fully marked Blaine County Constable Precinct 4 texture pack from UltraSwift (link below), if you are interested.

I tried to be as accurate as possible, but I only had 2 photos (as seen above) and some written information from the requestor to work with.  Despite a lot of searching, I could not find any other photos of this subdued livery online.  With that in mind, the font/colouring/sizing/placement of the livery might be a bit off.  I also took some liberties with a couple of the smaller elements - the "911" on the rear quarter panels, and the "CONSTABLE PCT 4" across the rear.  Those are based on what is typical on the Pct 4 fully marked units, as well as the info I got.  Seem to fit in well, though.  If I am missing any other livery elements, please let me know........would be happy to modify these for accuracy.

For the FPIU livery specifically, I spent a lot of time going back and forth on the positioning of the main side logo.  The newer model FPIUs have a distinct forward slant to the body lines, and I was trying to decide whether to have the lettering follow that slant, or stay horizontal.  Slanted looked great on the template........but looked too severe in game.  My online searching showed that some agencies go with the slant, while others don't.  Not much help finding a standard, lol.  Eventually, I went with the "straight" or horizontal layout.  If anyone would prefer the slanted livery to match the body lines, please let me know - I still have it saved, and could send it to you directly.

In the download file itself, you will find a number of folders and options.  I believe I have labelled those well enough to easily figure out which one to use, and where it goes.  I have included 4k and 2k versions of each.  The individual png files are named as they need to be for a drag/drop in OpenIV into Emergency Distributors model's .ytd file.  As an FYI, these 2 models from Emergency Distributors are set up to be replacements, and will go into the fbi (Charger) and fbi2 (FPIU) slots.  If you have other specific vehicles or packs you would like this livery on, feel free to do so yourself.  My liveries will likely fit a number of other newer model FPIU or Charger models out there.  Or, leave a comment or send me a PM.........we can work something out to get these on a different model/template.

Please enjoy, and I appreciate any constructive feedback!
