Hey guys

 

New to GTA IV modding. I installed a couple new cars and ELV 6. When I get into the car and press J or any other related keys nothing happenes.

 

My config files reads this:

This is for the ELS. I installed the car with Spark IV. WHen I hit the siren key, you can hear sirens but just no lights. I also have a trainer installed and disabled keys.

 

Any suggestions?

ELS lights only come on when the associated light key is presses, they won't come on with the siren key alone.  Are you positive that the car you installed is ELS enabled?

This isn't an issue with LCPDFR.

Are you sure your car is ELS enabled? If the car is not ELS enabled, pressing the light keys won't turn them on. Also, do you have a trainer installed with your game? If so, disable it, as the keybindings that the trainer use can sometimes interfere with the ELS keybindings.

That config file is ELS v7, not ELS v6. In v7, you need to press Alt+J to activate the lights (assuming you did not edit the controls).

I've never had to press ALT+J, J has always worked fine for me. As others have said, check:

 

-The cars are ELS enabled

-You are pressing the correct key

 

Also, are you using simple native trainer? If you are, you will need to "disable keys" before any of the ELS buttons will work. Here's how:

 

1. Open trainer.ini in your GTA directory

2. Search the document (CTRL+F) for KeyBindingsDisabled

3. Change the value after KeyBindingsDisabled from 0 to 1

4. Save and exit
