I was looking at the GTA 4 wiki and I noticed this. Notice how the officers are from the Alderney area and the helicopter has 'state police' and 'state trooper' written on the side with a different badge. The picture is at http://gta.wikia.com/Police_Maverick but there is no clue to where it came from.

Please can someone find this helicopter. It is the default polmav with a different skin. Even better if the helicopter had multiple skins. :)

I've found the Heli: http://www.gta4-mods.com/misc/state-trooper-squad-car-f13278

thanks man. Do you know how to make it so the chopper has multiple skins?

I think that's a reskin of the default helicopter, so without editing the model there is no way to give it multiple skins.

Actually, I think going to vehicles.ide and adding +livery to the end of the line may give you multiple liveries, as long as you:

1: Go to OpenIV and add 3 more skins with the same name as the original skin (same place you replace skins)

2: Save the textures

Then add the +livery thing to the police helicopter.

 

I think this works, I am not entirely sure.

Maybe so, I've never tried.

With default game models? It shouldn't work because the default models were not mapped to included four different liveries.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Some of them do have multiple liveries with the default game models, some of them even have more than 4 different liveries!

Are there any 'improved helicopters'. A bit like the improved cruiser, it is basically the same as the default only it has more stuff, or it looks better or it has multiple skins. If someone could find or make one with some L.C helicopter skins E.g. the normal LCPD, a dark blue Alderney state trooper. Basically 4 skins of the main areas of LC. I also use the abraxe liveries with the ALM so it would be epic to have different helicopters. I would be very great full.

 

(Also on a unrelated note, has anyone seen a bug when not using lcpdfr, if you get a wanted level, the police helicopter uses pistols or the occasionally the M4's (I use eflc, tbogt, so they should use the advanced machine gun) and if you shot the helicopter and the officers jump out and survive, then they pull out their machine guns. WTF)
