[ELS] Los Santos, Blaine County, Sandy Shores Mega Pack 1.0.1

I figured out how to fix the disappearing cars issue. Replace the sheriff.yft and police4.yft with the sheriff_hi.yft and police4_hi.yft files. If you open up the original yft files in OpenIV, you'll see that the car chassis is missing entirely in the non-hi yfts. 

 

As far as the sheriff2 lightbar issue, I'm looking at that right now to see if it's something easily fixable. 

 

EDIT: SHERIFF2 LIGHTBAR FIX!

You need to either install the vehicles.meta in the 2015 Tahoe folder in the archive, or edit your vehicles.meta and change the "diffusetint" setting for sheriff2 in it to be "0x00FFFFFF", instead of the original value. Then, when you get in the vehicle after it's spawned, the lightbar won't be blacked out and you'll be able to see the lights!

THANK YOU

vehicles.meta will go in mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\levels\gta5. 

Right now, you should be able to just drop the provided vehicles.meta into there, however as future game updates come out, you'll need to merge the changes from the provided one into the original vehicles.meta file.

i have now fixed the light bar but now my windos is all blacked out do you know how to fix that?

whats the best visual mod to use? new guy to lspdfr using this pack and need something to enhance those beautiful lights.

also one of the models is disappearing unless you are practically right next to it so i see alot of cops floating around. I dropped the vehicle meta in my openIV and the sheriff two light bar is no longer black however i cannot see any lights on the bar itself, the other lights work on it just not the bar. I notice with like police and police2 and police 3 that the outer lights on the light bar are a more dark and colorful color and the lights in between them are kind of pale what would be causing that?

Awesome pack I do love it and I am not sure if fixes are in place for these issues and havent seen them or what but I wanted to report them myself and hopefully they get fixed so I can continue to use this awesome pack!

Could also be im still pretty noob with ELS and dont know all of the keys yet, i want my lights to look like yours in the video!

Hmmmm....Perplexed. The pack looks awesome; however, I have ELS functionality is crippled.  Cruise lights work, Take Downs work, Headlight and tail-light flasher work, Using the J, K, or L key to trigger primary light functions doesn't work.

Installed according to instructions on a clean .Rpf of Patchday 14
All Els Configs are in pack_default as well.
ELS.ini still has pack_default as its path as well.

can you help me please, the sedan and the 13 charger dissapear after i get like 5 meters away from them, only the bumpers and the interior tech remains

I am having trouble understanding what you mean by "Replace sheriff.yft with the sheriff_hi.yft"

Delete sheriff.yft, then make a copy of sheriff_hi.yft. Rename the copy of sheriff_hi.yft to sheriff.yft. This is by no means a perfect solution (since there won't be any LODs for the vehicle model, which is bad), but until a fixed release is sent out, it's the only way to fix the issue.

I have the same problem

I really would hate  have to give a negative review due to the ELS lighting issue!

Have a fix for the car disappearing, all you have to do is take the _hi.ytf out of the file.  Put on desktop and remove the _hi.ytf.  Then you should be fine in game.

Worked for me :) 

Ok, I'm pretty sure I did everything right, but for some reason I'm getting this weird thing that no one else seems to have mentioned. Whenever there is a crash to where a piece of the car would fall off, the "part" is the entire car's shell. I've tried replacing metas, using different slots, and some other things but no luck. So far I believe I've only installed the 11 CVPI marked and the 16 Sedan, and I am pretty sure I was getting this with the sedan as well. I do have the models in patchday14, and I tried them in 15 as well with no luck. Here is what happens. I think for some reason the "part" is the entire car. I think I might have messed something up because no one else seems to have this issue. Any ideas?

so far good cars but the issues I have with it are the cars will make a duplicate of themselves when crashed and like somebody else mentioned the tahoe when all the lights are activated do not show all of the lights available. and there are not many slots to put skins in.

Any idea how to fix the shiny ram bars on some of the models? Love this pack but the shiny ram bars drive me nuts.

Having a very similar issue. I turn on the lights and they're ALL on solid red and blue... I've installed the VCFs correctly (i'm not new to installing cars) Thoughts? fixes?

can you make it so you can change colour on the unmarked and fixed the  window tint for the so the lights don't go so dark and you can't see them 

I see it says that a "Blaine County" texture is included, but I can't find them anywhere. I only see LSPD and LSSD. Any help?
