Hello I am new to LSPDFR as of 4 months ago. I have this issue where I can not get ELS lights to work at all. When I  try to bring up the ELS panel with the ctrl+p all it does is pause GTA V. When I press U/ I to cycle through lighting patterns nothing happens. Can someone please help me!!!

@BeekeeperEB Hey, Lets get this figured out. First. lets go over the basics. Make sure the files are in the proper spots. There are youtube videos to help you with this. When you get done, let me know you got that taken care of ,then we will move on to the next step. Thanks.

Assuming you've installed it correctly, go to the INI file and edit it with notepad. Down near the bottom you can change the keybindings to a different button. I have to change the lock button because it's also the button for my keyboard lighting, so lights on and ELS won't work.

 

Currently the default is set to "80", which is "P", I change it to "85", which is "U", to bring up to panel. Also, for me, it's "J" to cycle through the light patterns.

@Patrolman1993 Okay done

@BeekeeperEB Awesome, Next is to make sure the car is an ELS compatible vehicle. I'm sure you have one installed properly by now so lets skip that

and move on to next part. Script Hook V. Make sure the latest version is downloaded and drop it in your directory. Let me know if the problem still persists. 

also what @goshops said. Check your ini to make sure the keybindings are the correct keys. Use the files provided by ELS for a key layout.

@BeekeeperEB What you should do now is do complete re install of ELS. After that fire up the game. If your keys are the same in the ini. they should work to open up ELS panel. ELS is also controller compatible, Dpad Left will engage lighting. If it still won't work next thing is to send a snapshot of you GTA files. 

@Patrolman1993 Yo bro I downloaded script hook V and now LSPDFR keeps crashing on me 

@Patrolman1993 never mind I fixed. the script hook V was crashing it. Do I need it to run ELS properly? 

Yes. ScripthookV runs ELS.

What next script hook  V is downloaded 

ELS cars are downloaded

ELS control are set to what I want them 

game is fully updated  

And your issue is?
