You working on an interior? Because really all you have done was add lights and change the light bar. The interior is much need. 4/5 or 9/10. Also, must say that the lightbar is really well done!

It isn't my model. So I'm not gonna change a model what isn't mine, it takes so much time.

Congratulations. You fixed it. But why don't you add a laptop and radio on it? And some antennas would be nice. And a steady burning red light!

I can a laptop and radio but I don't think that will change a lot on the inside. I still looks blurry

Okay. It's a model problem. Maybe an antenna. And what's with a steady burning red light?

Yeah, I can see what I can do. What do you mean with a steady burning red light?

California Vehicle Code: 

25252.  Every authorized emergency vehicle shall be equipped with at
least one steady burning red warning lamp visible from at least
1,000 feet to the front of the vehicle to be used as provided in this
code.

flashing, or steady red warning lights to the front, sides or rear of
the vehicles.

I just remember that, I have seen that video before :) But they don't use it on this kind of vehicles.

rename the files, adjust the handlingId for said vehicle in vehicles.meta to be police3.

Where is the .meta file?

Is it possible to change the rear lamps to red?  I know that the D-ring shaped lens over the LEDs is molded clear but the LEDs actually glow red.

Well, they use it on every emergency vehicle! Because it's the law in california. You'll never find a police car without at least one steady burning red light to the front.

It good but it's seem that the lightbar still is invisible.

The lightbar disappears from like 10 metres, the wheels from like 60. Fixed in version released 2016-01-18. Dash lights should be a bit higher (they are shadowed by the hood).

So after this most recent update it seems the front dash LEDs are sorta blinking like bleh instead of the bright LEDs i have at the back which is usually a sign of the Carvariations being messed up but I copied the carvariations right out of the one in the downloads and just changed the name for the model I'm using it for as I do for all my other cars. Is anyone else having this issue with the update or is it just me?

Edit: Screenshot with what I mean, the one on the left is with the most recent update checked over the Carvariations and it doesn't seem like anything was changed in the downloads for the new one but it appears that something was changed on the model.

is there an interior to this model,? that was the only thing that bugged me on desmond's model he never has added an interior to the vehicle 

lol, really ? Do you think it's so easy, such as to write comments like you? But I'm already working on the interior, check the file page and forum topic

I'm having an issue with the pushbar, it keeps falling off. Any fix to this?

You have to adjust the vehicle meta for whatever model you're using under FLAGs here is the one I use for the explorer.

<flags>FLAG_HAS_LIVERY FLAG_EXTRAS_REQUIRE FLAG_EXTRAS_STRONG FLAG_LAW_ENFORCEMENT FLAG_IS_OFFROAD_VEHICLE FLAG_EMERGENCY_SERVICE FLAG_NO_RESPRAY FLAG_DONT_SPAWN_IN_CARGEN FLAG_REPORT_CRIME_IF_STANDING_ON</flags>

If I'm wrong please someone correct me but I believe the key one for making sure the pushbar doesn't just launch off is FLAG_EXTRAS_STRONG so if you just add that it should stop that issue.

That's correct. BTW in reference to your screenshot above, I didn't compare both versions side by side, but with RadianceV the dash lights seemed fine to me.

Really? And that's with the newest update as well? It's so weird because I currently have both the old version with the invis problem and the newest one with the fix one as Sheriff2 and the other as one of my highway cars the only difference is the actual vehicle files and yet I get that weird dash light glitch, guess it's time to go dig through the carvariations yet again...and probably facepalm when I notice some tiny typo I missed before lol.

I deleted the other version because that invisible LOD bug was awful, but this is what they look like for me. Looking at your screenshot comparison more closely though, maybe he did change them, but I kinda like the way they look now. I don't think you have any bad .meta edits.

Yea I just did a fresh check and a reinstall of radiance V as I have edited my visualsettings to tone down Radiance a bit as it's still a little too bright for me. But yea it just appears to be something that was changed with the last update it doesn't look too bad with radiance V full on but for me with a toned down edit or for someone without Radiance it looks kinda bleh. Like it's a single light blinky in a big LED block vs the back ones which look like the full on LEDs. I suppose I don't mind too much either way the bigger issue is that the back ones are different from the front ones even though they are the same style of light.

So, the invisible problem is fixed, sorta. When I take a few steps away from the vehicle, the light bar vanishes. I also noticed that sometimes it doesn't even spawn with a light bar, but the lights are still there....any suggestions?

Same here. I'm still using Desmond98's version.

Please fix that

is there any way to get the dash light to flash red and blus bc for me its flashing all blue? thanks also i didnt change the emergency lights texture either it just randomly happened and i dont know how to fix it (also the dash light on the Taurus u made is having the same issue)
