Was by the Jewelry store near Rockford hills when I get a call for a Robbery across town in upper Vinewood by the dance club, a block above Vinewood Blvd. Guess how much time it gave me to get there.

 

30 seconds.

 

I'm sorry, but whether this is for realism or something, giving 30 seconds to go through traffic, clear traffic lights and intersections to go 1.6 kilometers is ridiculous. I can count the amount of times I've been able to reach in time with this time limit and distance with 1 finger. Once.

 

If there's a way to change this, or if this could be changed to something more realistic in the future, that would be great. Thanks.

This depends on if it is part of the base lspdfr or a callout. I know that most callout packs come with an ini, and in some cases, you can change the values while in other cases you can't. To my knowledge, this isn't changeable in base LSPDFR, and is only changeable in certain callout packs. Again, I wouldnt have an answer for you until I know where the callout originated from.

LSPDFR has a timer for the hold up Robberies and the default time is a bit short.  I see it partly realistic because if you don't get there in time (like real life, lol) then they would have left the building but still be on that street/block.  If you're not too late then you might see someone running when you get there and just drive to them and the game should say that you found the suspects and a blip should create on the mini map.  There is a line in the settings that you can change but I don't know what number to put.  Change the number and see what happens in game.  In you LSPDFR folder and then the lspdfr ini, if you don't have this line then put it in your lspdfr.ini. 

 

Holdup.TimeMultiplier = 1.0f

 

I never got around to changing the number so I wouldn't know what to expect.  But, here is a link, from this site, that tells you about it.

I think the short timer is supposed to work in tandem with their regained visual of suspect system.

What I'll often do is send the default LSPDFR backup (even though I use Ultimate Backup) to the scene by setting the waypoint on the map. The default backup will respond to your waypoint and not your current location. It means you are not first on scene but is more realistic and means that you can have someone with a visual on the suspect(s) until you arrive.

I forgot you can do that.  There are a couple callouts that I would like to have backup get there first.  I'll have to try to remember that.
