I've been playing LSPDFR on and off for a bit. One thing that always kind of stumped me is why there aren't many or really any at all ELS packs that use lore-friendly vehicles. There are LF but they're all DLS, if you're lucky to find a config. Now I know that I could probably make my own configs for these but I'm not really sure how. But I like ELS more than DLS esp. because of things like the sounds, the lighting UI panel, and just the way it functions. I know ELS cars need to at least usually be made with it in mind and most non-ELS cars are meant for FiveM these days but I'd like to have some lore cars in my game that have full stage 3 lighting with takedowns, alley lights, warning lights, and all the ELS works. Just wondering if these cars exist or if it's a technical limitation or if just people using lore cars usually don't use ELS. If they do exist if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Im not sure about technical limitations regarding ELS on lore vehicles, I think thats just a preference because the base cars are Non-ELS to begin with and that's the games base mechanics.

 

A lot of developers I know of have moved towards DLS because of the limitations with lighting on ELS, as ELS uses extras for lighting.

 

Nonetheless, you can create a ELS file for them to be controlled by ELS (ex pressing J for lights and having your sounds) but you won't have multi-stage lighting and such. Simply copy and paste an ELS file you have, rename it to the vehicle model, and change the "IsELSControlled" values to false.

 

I unfortunately dont use lore cars in my game so I'm not familiar with any models you'd be looking for.

I think like cherryaerie wrote, it is because the GTA cars are non ELS and i dont think ELS cars could ever be "lore" since they have things real gta cars dont have.
