Appleton Police, Wisconsin - 2k/4k livery pack 1.0.0

Any Wisconsin fans out there, or running a Wisconsin based game?  Or, maybe you just want to change things up a bit.  Well......how about Appleton Police?

This livery pack project was part of a commission request from last year - one that didn't go through fully.  No hard feelings on my part, just one of those things.  I did up all the livery work as requested and agreed on (plus for the neighbouring Outagamie Sheriff.......which I will post soon as well).  I usually do 4k liveries only, but he was worried about his computer specs - so, did up 2k as well.  Then, there came discussion about getting all his files organized - regions, agency, backup, etc - so that one vehicle pack could run both agencies and spawn in the right areas.  Doable, but a lot of extra work and time needed.  We both kept putting it off, as other things in life kept coming up - never were able to coordinate a time to do the work together.  Finally, a couple months ago - after almost a year of the liveries being completed - he said he had moved on from LSPDFR.  

Sad story, my loss.  Rather than rot on my hard drive, figured I would get finally around to sharing these with the community........your gain!

As a best all around match to what his local Police and Sheriff agencies use, we decided to go with Big G 069's "ELS State Police Pack" (linked below) for the majority of the models.  It is a great pack, with a nice mix of vehicles.  For the Prisoner Transport van option, we went with Emergency Distributors "Prisoner Transport Van Upgrade" (linked below).  Those are the vehicle models/templates used and seen in the screenshots.  While there definitely are other vehicle models or packs out there that the liveries will work on (using the same base template), these particular models are the only ones I can guarantee the fit/positioning/placement of the liveries.

If you scroll through the photo reel I've included above, you can see a number of real life photos of the Appleton Police livery - to demonstrate the attention to detail, and accuracy I was able to recreate.  Both the Appleton Police star/badge logo, and the "Center for Suicide Awareness" window decal on the FPIU were made completely from scratch.  I did take a few liberties when making the F150 K9 and the Prisoner Transport liveries - as Appleton does not use those vehicles that I am aware of.   From Big G's pack, we only used the 2014 Impala, 2016 FPIS, 2016 FPIU, and the 2021 F150 K9 models for Appleton Police.  There is only one F150 K9 livery, but the Imapala and FPIS have 2 liveries each.  The FPIU actually has 4 liveries available - 2 are regular Patrol, one is K9, and the other is Command.  You will see unique unit numbers for all vehicles (taken from and matching photos if possible), along with variations to the motto and other decals.  Seems that older Appleton Police liveries went with "Fighting Crime / Solving Problems" and a large 911 decal, while the newer liveries are "Compassion / Integrity / Courage" with a large US flag decal. 

That should be it for the story.  Within the download zip folder, you should find two subfolders, for the 2k and 4k quality options.   In those, you willl find clearly marked folders for each of the vehicles from  Big Gs pack, and EDs Prisoner Transport Chevy Express van.  All livery textures are named as needed for the model - you can just drag/drop them in to the .ytd file in OpenIV.  For the FPIU, you will notice one additional file - the "window_template".........that is for the Suicide Awareness decal.  You can use it if you choose, or not.  In real life photos, it seems that only their Command FPIU had it.  However, if you do choose to install it, it will show up on all the FPIU model/livery choices - as you cannot have multiple of those textures, like you can with livery textures. 

Also - props to those that appreciate the unit number/callsign that I went with on the Prisoner Transport van!  LOL.......see what I did there? 😉 😎
 

If there is interest and/or requests, I might rework this in to a lore-friendly livery.  Might look good as LSPD, or one of the other smaller agenices in game!
 

Stay tuned for the matching Outagamie Sheriff livery pack release!!

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 vehicle models I suggested

- 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 liveries 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

- 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!

Do you have a specific livery request?  Maybe your hometown or local area Police/Fire/Ambulance/Tow/whatever service?  Please contact me via DM here, or on Discord (Medicmojo#3955) to discuss further.........
