Hello again! Back in October, I released a single vehicle (lightbar and slicktop versions) livery for the South Simcoe Police Service, as "memorial" for the two officers that were killed that month. For that livery, I had used their badge numbers as the unit callsigns, and created my own angel wing "in memory of" decal. As part of that release, I mentioned really liking the overall design of the livery, and being interested in making a full pack. I had asked for someone to suggest a pack to use. Someone took me up on that offer, and I am pleased to release the final result. All vehicle models or packs are linked further below. The photos above show a number of their actual vehicle photos for comparison, as well as in game pictues of my liveries on the vehicle models - I strive for accuracy, and am very pleased with the results! All liveries have a unique callsign, and I made a number of specialty unit liveries as well. I have also included as part of each livery, the "official" Heroes in Life Memorial decal that South Simcoe Police designed and (I believe) started placing on all their units.
The suggestion/request I received was to go with Ripples LSPD Legacy pack, as it was one DLC add-on that included the 3 types of vehicles that SSPS currently uses - FPISs, FPIUs, and a pickup truck. Plus, we all know that Ripple does great work! The pack gives a good sized selection of vehicles, with lightbar and slicktop versions of each model. I only worked on those particular SSPS vehicles in this pack - so, sorry......no Crown Vics or Chargers. And, the pick-up is a Silverado, instead of the F150 that SSPS uses.
As a side note, there is a known problem with the slicktop Silverado model (lspd18) - it spawns with weird textures and colours. You can either chose to not use that model........or, I found that the problem could be resolved by replacing the lspd18.ytd file. Looked like that ytd mistakenly had a number of textures meant for one of the Charger models. I copied/pasted the matching lightbar Silverado model's (lspd8) .ytd file somewhere outside of OpenIV - renamed it to lspd18 - then copied/pasted it back into OpenIV, which overwrites the file with the errors. Have had no issues with the slicktop model since.
Once again, I have tried to make my download file very organized and (hopefully) self-explanatory. Dig your way through the folders, choose the 4k or 2k quality, and instalI via the usual process in OpenIV, into the matching vehicle .ytd file. All the individual textures should be named properly, to allow for a drag/drop install.
If you want to keep it simple, just use Ripple's Legacy pack addon and my associated liveries. Good variety of vehicles in that pack, and I have included some of the "specialty" unit liveries - Supervisor, Canine, ERU, and Community Services. Remember that the slicktop verisions will also come with an "unmarked" livery texture, courtesy of Ripple. Some of the models came with window texture templates as well - I put those to use for some of the unit callsigns (as they are on the real units).........don't forget to install those as well.
But, if you are willing to go with a few more addon packs for some more variety........please consider and help yourself to the other livery options I have included.
If you are a die-hard Ford fan and want an F150/250 model to use, like South Simcoe does, I got you covered! Chose Big G 069"s F250 model. I haven't personally used it much in game yet, but it has some great comments and reviews
If you want to have an actual K9 model to use in game, I went with Rabbit's 2016 FPIU K9 model. I do use this vehicle in my game, and it is fantastic!
Finally, if you want to have a couple more FPIUs to use in game, I tweaked my first Memorial livery a bit - taking off my original "angel wing" Memorial decal, and replacing it with the official decal.
I hope you enjoy! As always:
- please let me know if you have any issues with the liveries.
- feel free to use these liveries on any other vehicles in your game that they happen to fit/work with, but I can only guarantee that they will work with the vehicles/packs that I have listed
- while I strive for accuracy on the livery itself, I may have had to take some artistic license to "fill in the blanks" where I could not find a photo reference
- while I tried to match the vehicles in general terms to what the agency uses, I make no guarantee that these vehicles are exact matches in regards to model year, equipment, lighting, etc
- if there is another vehicle/pack that you want the livery to work with, please let me know in the comments or by a DM - I am sure we can work something out. Or, if you are able, go ahead and rework the livery to another template yourself to use - but, for use in your game only.........please don't repost and claim the work as your own
- feel free to share photos or use in videos (would love to see some of those!)........just give credit back to me
- please do not repost/upload or claim the liveries and work as your own, on this or any other site
- I would appreciate and look forward to any feedback, comments, or reviews.......still pretty new at this
- I am not responsible for "breaking" your game........none of these files will do that, if installed properly. If you are not sure on how to do so, YouTube and Google are your friends!
