Alright so basically, I have LCPD:FR 1.0c and ELS V8 installed. I have a Windows 8 PC and I also downloaded and installed one ELS vehicle so that I could try out ELS and what not. When I get into game, sometimes the vehicle that I installed for ELS has its lightbar and sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't, I usually have to try spawning in a new one every time. I also notice this with the same vehicle when the AI cops use it. It most often has the lightbar missing on their vehicles. And yeah, I don't really care about say the Impala cruiser and what not because I know that I didn't install an ELS vehicle for it. So I did some long research trying to figure out what the problem was. I came to the conclusion that it was probably a "+livery" issue I think. And so I looked up how to do that and yeah. But the thing that I'm having trouble with is the fact that when I try to open the "vehicles.ide" file in my common/data folder, it won't let me open it up in Notepad. It simply tells me to look in the Windows Store for an app to open and or edit it with. This is really frustrating because it seems that everyone else can do it but not me. I really don't know and I'm just stuck. Once again, I have LCPD:FR 1.0c and ELS V8 installed. I am running on a Windows 8.

it could be that the light bar is an extra_10 is it a public release vehicle?

One of the features of that vehicle is the randomly spawning lightbar, because that wasn't possible in previous ELS versions.

ok i just looked at it and the light bar is under extra_10 which means it is a random spawn

And there's nothing you can do to fix that? What about the +livery thingy? Sorry, kinda new to this stuff but what does the "+livery" setting do? Because I thought that was the problem and when trying to fix it, it wouldn't let me open the "vehicles.ide" file.

the +livery lets you have multiple liverys. to open the vehicles.ide right click hit open with and choose any text editer

What does having multiple liveries allow you to do? And yes, that's what I've been trying to do, but there isn't any editor that pops up when I click open or open with. It says I have to buy one.

it allows you to have differnt livery textures, so you could have different city/sheriff/state textures on 1 car.

do you have notepad

I do, but it will not allow me to open it up with Notepad for some very annoying reason. Also what does it mean when a vehicle has an extra_10 lightbar or whatever they mean when they state that?

with els 8 extra_10 spawns randomly so you can have some cars with it and some without
