So, I like everyone else who plays lspdfr use custom vehicles. I've noticed sometimes that its hard to find exactly what your looking for when trying to find vehicles. I think there should be a new filter for the vehicles section that lets you filter by agency, not just police, fire, and ems. For example, if I wanted specifically SAHP or BCSO, I could filter by just those agencies. Maybe this is a stupid idea, but I think it could make the whole process of finding vehicles way easier

Hello @N4STR0N4UT

 

It's not a stupid idea at all. Going forward, we are looking to replace the current filter system with tags enabled by our new tagging system. Filtering options will be converted to tags and tags will be more easily searchable in the category views in the future.
 

Part of the issue with adding new filters is that authors will very rarely update old files with new filters (I don't blame them, it can be a pain). This sadly limits a lot of our filtering options to when we originally deployed our system years ago, as adding new ones will cause them to be empty on arrival. 
 

With the next phase of our tagging system which is coming soon, any LCPDFR.com user will be able to suggest a tag on a file. After these suggestions reach certain thresholds (e.g. 3 users also tagging in a similar way) or staff/author/trusted tagger add the tag, then the tag will be added to the file and the file will be searchable by that tag. We will have some incentives for users to tag files to help make the community more searchable. We're really excited by this as it will mean we will be able to add a lot more tags and authors will not have the sole burden to re-tag their files and we will be able to add tags more creatively and frequently (for example, SAHP/BCSO agency tags).

 

This however does not fix your issue right now, however, a search for BCSO in Vehicle Models yields a decent amount of results: https://www.lcpdfr.com/search/?&q=BCSO&type=downloads_file&page=1&quick=1&nodes=51&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy&
