LAPD Based FPIU 2016 1.0.0

Show me the Carfax.

Lyle no

Its 2020, new year... lets stop uploading and releasing police vehicles without a spot light... it ruins the entire model when it comes to rp and looks wise.

LAPD use a Federal Signal Valor on their newer units. The Arjents were uses on the older models. Everyone starts somewhere.

Not all departments use them considering the fact of takedowns on lighbars

what lol, more and more departments are starting to move away from using traditional spotlights due to newer car models having thinner/weaker A-pillars. thats why product such as the whelen ARGES are starting to emerge to replace those spotlights. while i agree personally i like the older spotlights, its the creator's choice on how they want to setup their model (looks great btw 🙂 )

What no, lol. you cant use take downs to look around a AOP. Grant some lightbars have side take downs but its not the same when you need light to a specific spot, SO NO departments aren't getting rid of them, the only time you don't see spot lights on marked units is in LSPDFR downloads lol. Both DODGE and FORD come with spot lights on the base patrol models, there isn't a option. I just showed this comment to a couple officers to double check that EVERYONE still uses spot lights and they laughed wanting to know what department is so low budget they couldn't get spot lights because its not something thats fading out lol. 

Nice job for a first model, its just under equipped.

Not trying to tear the maker down, just saying im tired of half done models being released.

are you... are you being serious right now lol. you need to re-read what i wrote. never said takedowns can replace a dedicated spotlight lol. do yourself a favor and search up the whelen ARGES system, i believe 911 rapid response did a pretty good video on it a few weeks ago.

THAT I WILL ACCECPT, I knew of it but have yet to see it in person aside from a similar bigger one mounted on top of a Sheriff Dodge Ram... however that has nothing to do with our conversation on why people leave NO spotlight or Arges system on a release model.

yep thats true, he might have forgotten, or maybe he doesnt like spotlights on his models. personally, if hes going for the "authentic LAPD look" he would need to swap out that lightbar for a federal signal valor, and im not 100% sure, but i think there is a law/regulation that requires all LEO vehicles in California to have dual spotlights? i could be wrong on that though.

Think its mainly a thing there because they all roll around in twos, don't think its a law though. Don't even get me started on uploads of LAPD on lspdfr lol. I found ONE dodge charger that was set up correctly and had all the gadgets.... pretty sad when you have that many downloads available but only ONE had real love put into it... 

I'll even give credit where credit is due.

Can you please not link other vehicles that aren't mine, On my post please?  

@bjackson1991 There reads "LAPD Based" on this download, so I think this is not supposed to be a exact counterpart to a LAPD FPIU. After all it is the model's maker's choice if they want to put spotlights to the cars. I personally don't like spotlights at all and they look ridiculous. We don't have spotlights here in Finland on cop cars.  

This model is quite good for being a first model.

Nah, who need a spotlight when the lightbar is the spotlight

Also, good model for your first time. If you need any help with vehicle stuff, let me know. I'm always happy to help ^w^

I may be updating this vehicle, I also may do a DLS pack if i can figure out how to make a DLS pack.

Do you have discord? The one linked on your page dose not work

I do, Sorry for the late response i've been locked out of this account until now since i forgot my info, Shoot me a dm and i'll send you it.

Hmmm. I wish the pushbar wasn't just a cosmetic and was functional. When I try to pit a vehicle the pushbar seems to go through, permeate through the rear bumper

Yeah i'm currently working on a 2013/14 fpiu that'll have a fuctional pushbar and hopefully i'll figure out how to do els/non-els hybrid

Hasn't the 2016 FPIU a valor lightbar not an arjent one?
