It seems that I was crashing every 20 minutes (or so) because of the ELS cars I had downloaded. I reinstalled GTA and LCDPDFR w/ the hotfix, reinstalled ELS 7.0 and have been using stock police vehicles. This great and I played for a solid 45 minutes with no CTD's, but I was wondering if you guys could recommend an ELS approved vehicle that won't crash my game.

 

Thank you.

Most modded cars will increase the risk of your game crashing, but as a pointer, you need to look for cars that aren't high-poly (meaning that the file-size it too big).

*Any* car that is ELS enabled and under 2.5mb *should* be stable and good!

 

*'s used to let OP know it's not 100% and I am not guaranteeing anything

Stick with DSF models, not BxBuggs or LTCaine.  The DSF models are usually under 1.5mb and fairly detailed.  They don't looks as nice, detailed and clean, especially while in 1st person view, like the BxBuggs/Lt Cain models, but the DSFs are nice models that are very low poly for the quality you get with them.  

 

My vehicle.img files have one slot with a nice ELS BxBuggs (nstockade, since it never spawn), and my polpatriot is a nice Tahoe slicktop ELS model.  All other cop car slots are low/mid poly and non-els.  I keep my police-police4 slots with a Ekalb Vapid, the new GTAV Vapid Strainer, Strainer slicktop and the GTAV Buffalo Traffic patrol.  Looks great and runs smooth.

 

After adjusting my setup a little bit, I rarely crash now days, and having a little bit better frames, which means my 1.0 call-outs don't get the "disregard" messages all the time, when heading to a call.

 

Good luck!

NB(NicolaiB)'s cars usually work pretty well. They're ELS enabled, quality, and appealing to the eye.

This is just my opinion: In my case, I switched to non-els cars. I experienced I few crashed which where related to ELS. I have a pretty good computer, but after an hour of gameplay, it usualy crashed (most of the time during pursuits). Although I haven't had these issues with lcpdfr 0.95, I couldn't get it to work with 1.0.

After switching back to non-els cars everything seems to work fine. I yesterday played for solid 3 houres without any kind of crash.
