Hi all,

 

If you could help that would be great. Some of my sirens / lights on my british vehicles aren't working at all, when I go to press them on all it does is sound the horn on the vehicle - nothing else. I have a feeling I've probably installed them wrong however I've followed the downloads step by step and I can never get them working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

 

Did you install any ELS vehicles? Do you have ELS installed?

 

If not, the lights will not work as the siren/lights are functioning as the default police vehicle's.

Hi

 

Thanks for the help. I do have ELS installed and have been following the instructions correctly, however I have obviously gone wrong somewhere! Would be good for somebody to remote on to my screen as I think it's probably something simple however I'm quite new to LSPDFR!

Can you possibly state your issues in detail? As clear as possible.

 

By the way to turn on lights with ELS you have to press "J" on keyboard.

So when I go in to a police station and go on duty, select a vehicle and then spawn outside of the police station inside the vehicle. When I press my left joystick on my controller as normal, the car just sounds its horn. You can touch J and the lights work, you can hold down T and the sirens work but as soon as you let it go they stop, maybe I just need to change the settings somewhere but in any other car I can just press my left joystick and the sirens / lights will activate.

That's the way how ELS control works. Let me explain this for you:

 

ELS simulates the real life siren system for emergency vehicles. So the way how the control works in-game is different than the default siren controls. 

 

In order to active your siren, you must turn your lights to stage three, meaning press J three times; then press G or 1 to turn on your siren. And it will stay on unless you turn it off. You can press T or 2 or 3 or 4 to circle through different siren mode, such as Yelp, etc. 

 

If you press E it is the air horn, it won't turn on the lights or siren. If you press T it is the manual siren, it won't stay unless you hold it. Most of the police patrol cars in real life have a similar function like that. 

 

I hope this make sense.

If you press E it is the air horn, it alerts other vehicles when you're trying to get them out of the way. If you press T it is the manual siren, it won't stay unless you hold it. Like most of the police patrol cars have a similar function like that.

Ah got it, thanks for your help! I honestly thought you could do it through controller.

 

I have another question about uniforms if you don't mind, I've downloaded some british uniforms but they aren't showing when trying to pick uniform after going on duty, yet as far as I can see all of the other police officers are in this uniform? 

Your character's model is a multiplayer model, and if you see other AI officers has the uniform meaning the uniform you installed is only for single player cops.

 

To fix that the best option is to download EUP uniforms that is designed for multiplayer cop models, you can install this one for British officers.

Cheers, that's a great help. Just a quick one again, on my controller when I press the circle in a car for anything it makes the siren blip. Annoying!

You can refer to the ELS document in the ELS zip folder for controller controls. It tells you what key does what, you may also edit it in the .ini file.
