hmm.....and there is no handling id's for sheriff2 or fbi2 not sure what to use to make it driveable

aaaand all of a sudden it's not flipping. hmm.

ok so i got it to drive correctly the lights just do not want to work right coppied and pasted the variation file for police3 and spaced out the code the same as all the other vehicles in the file and still no good i have one blue on the right rear that works the lighting in the lightbar is all wierd and there seems to be a red light flashing in the center console any suggestions?

Has anyone had any luck changing the handling for this vehicle in the Police3 slot? I find that it tips over way to easy and the AI can barely drive it in a pursuit. I've had a go at the vehicles.meta files and added my own entries because I couldn't find the one for Police3. I'd imagine the handling line for FBI2 would work, that's the way my sheriff2 is setup, I just can't get my edits to work.

If you're looking in the right vehicles.meta there should be a police3 

(mods/update/update.rpf/common/data/levels/gta)

And the proper handlingID for this car is police3 if you try to switch it to FBI2 or Sheriff2 it will be flippy it's not meant to have a SUV style handlingID.

Yeah, I dont know what it is. I UV maped the windows but that didn't help. 

Just posting this here as well I'm having a slightly similar issue with F5544s 2015 charger and since this essentially uses the same lights I have a feeling they're connected.

As shown in this picture (this is the 2015 charger btw) the left blue dash light is sorta having the same issues as the dashlights on the explorer though unlike the explorer it's not like this all the time. Though it appears the issue is these lights seem to have like a light "texture" in front of the standard flashing light and with the 2015 charger at least when driving around and stopping is seems like the texture clips through behind the light and effectively disappears so I'm wondering on the explorer that possibly when moving the dash lights around maybe these lights textures got set a little further back then usual and ended up behind the dashlights which is why they appear to be like the default GTA emergency lights.

I have the vehicle in sheriff2 but changed carvariations.meta and the handling ID to police3, and it still flips. Not as easy, but it does on corners.

I mean all I can suggest is making sure you go back to the file path I posted above and making sure it's police3 for the car model you're using it with and then going through the vehicles.meta in all the other folders in dlcpacks and make sure you don't have another vehicles.meta with conflicting info because there shouldn't be any flipping issue if it's installed correctly. I'm assuming there might just be some conflicting vehicles.meta(s) somewhere from some of your previous edits or something.

Got it working. Deleted my update.rtf and reinstalled it. Changed the handling line again in vehicles.meta and it works perfectly. Thanks.

Not a problem man sometimes those files can get messy can't count the number of times I've had to go on a vast search for some conflicting carvariations that I edited for a different model.

I'm having problems with your carvariations file for mpluxe. When I place your file the other nypd vehicles I have get problems with their lightbar. What is exactly the line I have to put in carvariations without substituting the entire file?

In the carvariations just copy the section out for Police3 and then change the name of it to whatever model you're using the explorer with.

The most distant LOD is probably missing or something because the whole car disappears from like 100m.

That was a known issue with the older version, are you sure you're on the newest update of the model?

Yes, I'm speaking about version updated 2016-01-18!

The model is fully working. All LODs are working. Has been tested. Could be your PC.

It's not working for me. Can be my PC, but only this car disappears if distant...
