Hello i just installed ELS, And only code 3 lights work.

This topic has been moved to the appropriate forum. Please post in the correct location in the future.

There are some vehicles that are only meant to have stage 3 lighting. Firstly, ensure the vehicle you are installing is actually ELS, non ELS will automatically go to your full stage 3 lightings. If the vehicle allows stage 3 lighting and it just happened to be defaulted to stage 3 only, follow the below instructions.

1. Find the correlating .xml file for the ELS vehicle
   • Should be named something like police as an example
   • All ELS files should go into els/pack_default, if it is not here, move it here.
2. Edit the file simply by opening it.
   • You can use notepad as a default, though I am using an app called Kate that allows me to edit these files, which is why the screenshots I attached look much different compared to what you will be looking at in notepad. There is no difference otherwise and will function the same for you.
3. Find <LstgActivationType>value</LstgActivationType> in the file. You can search for it using F3, but only search for LstgActivationType
4. Change automatic, or whatever the value is, to manual, and save the file.

ELS controls:

• Spoiler

  • Activate your lights using J
    • If you configured the ini configuration for ELS, click that key instead.
  • Clicking J once will activate your traffic advisories, Clicking it again activates stage 2, and clicking again activates stage 3. 
    • There are some cases where even following these steps, vehicles will only have stage 2 and 3 as lighting. This is a vehicle developer implementation and I am not sure if there is a fix for that.
  • Sirens will only work with stage 3 active. Click 1-4 to activate siren tones, 5 to cycle automatically, and 6 to activate a dual tone.
    • Not all vehicles have dual tones.
  • Clicking ALT+J will automatically push you to stage 3 lighting without needing to go through stages 1-2, which is useful for responding to immediate emergencies and what not.
  • Clicking R and T will activate manual tones
  • Clicking E and Y will activate your air horn
