Hi there,

 

I was gonna do a youtube video but noticed that one of my cars' lightbar and pushbar disappear when I walk a distance away. I believe it's a problem with the model that is causing this, because it doesn't occur on any of my other vehicles. NOTE that this is a ELS-enabled vehicle so the lightbar and pushbar are not extras. I also made a video:

But after awhile of reviewing it, I went to OpenIV and checked out the model. When I changed the 'level of detail' I noticed the lightbar and pushbar disappear on medium. So what I think is causing it, is that when I go a distance away the vehicle switches to medium detail taking off the lightbar and pushbar? Here's some pics from openiv.

 

 

 

Any ideas on how I can fix this? If not, does anyone have a model similar to this one (same lightbar) that I can use?

 

Thanks.

You need to create the LOD's for the parts. Currently they only have one

It requires editing the model. LODs are there so your computer doesn't explode trying to render all the cars - instead, it only shows high detail on nearby things. The only way it knows what detail matters is by what the modeler says, and so it requires a model edit to change.
