Hello all. It's been a while since I posted something, so I thought I'd at least bang out a couple of short videos for you now and again, as I don't have the time for a full series like I did before due to my work schedule. But I think you all might like this one as it shows that the AI police CAN be helpful sometimes, and make the game more interesting.

Enjoy.

Does AI ELS make your game crash cause i have to turn it off in order to keep it from crashing every 20 minutes.

Yes AI ELS is terrible. Not only does it barely work (I often have to use a small script called ELSFix to try and force the lights on which usually does not work), but it's very unstable. I switched from version 6 to 5, which has improved the crash rate, but you get less options (like not being able to use the spot light while your overheads are in use). The AI police tend to "fight you" for control of the lights. They will immediately shut it off as soon as you turn it on, and I have no idea why that is. The only exceptions are cars that are called as back up, ones responding to a call, or cars that are unoccupied (therefore they can't fight the lights). I don't know why a fix would be so hard to create for that, but I don't know the code so I guess I can't complain too much.

Nice videos. Yeah ELS sadly is unstable, I'm running ELSv5 too. Hopefully ELSv7 will be more stable, if it ever comes :)

I saw a mod that allows you to force ELS on AI cars but I believe it was on GPM and now I can't find it I was going to give it a try and see if it helped.

I believe the mod is 'ELS Fix' in which case I have it already. You can force toggle cars that aren't occupied, or ones that are on backup to a location, but cops that randomly join chases will fight for control and always win. It doesn't work as I had hoped.

And there probably won't be an ELS V7. On GTAPM it was listed as discontinued.
