ELS V7 Is Great, It works for me personally 100% of the time no crashes in SP, (low end pc) 

 

However the only problems i can pick out so far are that it crashes alot online with Clans. 

 

Heres my opinion on it and how to use it

As a new feature in ELS 7, hitting ALT + a pattern button (U, I, or O) will go back one pattern. If you're on light pattern 30, and you want light pattern 29, instead of spamming U to go through 70+ patterns, just hit ALT + U to go back one.

 

Same thing for your primary lights. Instead of hitting J three times, you can go back one and hit ALT + J and get into your primaries with one light.

 

As well, cruise lights are sometimes used by PDs when they don't need to use their flashing lights during night calls, as often it'll blind, confuse or daze people at night. As well, flashing lights often attracts too much attention so when they aren't needed, but they need lights, they'll use their cruise lights. Feel free to read them more in this thread:

Just like a real light switch, most have 4 positions; for my area it's;

 

0 = Standby (Nothing on)

1 = Rear Amber lights on

2 = Front Cut Off

3= Pursuit Mode (ALL lights active) The takedown (white lights/wig-wags) turn on with the siren.

 

In real life you have to switch it backwards so I like how they included that! Just use J to go forward a position and ALT J to switch back! Just like a real light switch.

With the department I worked with the lightbar controls was a sliding switch
1 - lightbar only to the rear
2 - all lights minus wig/wags
3 - everything

A seperate controller operated the amber lights.
