Today I found a list of LAPD vehicles and decided to use this to calculate the chance of each vehicle spawning in Ultimate Backup. Note that the percentages are based on these four vehicles, not the entire LAPD fleet. The list is from 2018 so the figures will be slightly outdated but it's a ballpark figure that can be adjusted to suit your personal preference.

 

The list is as follows:

 

• Ford Crown Victoria (40%)
• Ford Explorer (37%)
• Dodge Charger (18%)
• Ford Taurus (5%)

 

For those unaware, Ultimate Backup allows you to set the chance of a particular vehicle spawning when calling for backup. You can find the configuration files in plugins/lspdfr/UltimateBackup. Using the above list, you can set them up like this:

 

<Vehicles>
	<Vehicle chance="40">POLICE</Vehicle>
	<Vehicle chance="37">POLICE2</Vehicle>
	<Vehicle chance="18">POLICE3</Vehicle>
	<Vehicle chance="5">POLICE4</Vehicle>
</Vehicles>

 

Remember to check that POLICE, POLICE2, etc correspond to the correct vehicle - the above code is just an example. Note that the chance for all vehicles must add up to 100. Hope some find this useful.

Does anyone know the current LAPD fleet? Is the Crown Vic still being used? It looks like the Explorer makes up the majority of the fleet nowadays.

yes they still have tons of crown victorias as the oldest crown victoria in their fleet is from 1998

I see Explorers more than any other driving around.  Second would be the Chargers.  Sometimes I see the CV's but usually when there is a big something going on.  Maybe the supervisors or higher ranks show up in CV's, but not sure exactly.  This is how I have my setup and it includes the addon vehicles I have.  I just noticed I should adjust the PAX for some of the vehicles.  I don't know why this is showing up as a Spoiler.  Copy/Paste and it automatically puts it as a Spoiler.

<Vehicles>
                    <Vehicle chance="20" pax="1" pax_chance="70">POLICE</Vehicle>
                    <Vehicle chance="20" pax="1" pax_chance="90">POLICE2</Vehicle>
                    <Vehicle chance="20" pax="1" pax_chance="90">POLICE3</Vehicle>
                    <Vehicle chance="10" pax="1" pax_chance="25">lspd1</Vehicle>
                    <Vehicle chance="10" pax="1" pax_chance="95">police1</Vehicle>
                    <Vehicle chance="10" pax="1" pax_chance="95">police41</Vehicle>
                    <Vehicle chance="10" pax="1" pax_chance="95">police42</Vehicle>
                </Vehicles>
