I downloaded a car and no els config was included. It says it uses the default config but at night the blue lights are all red. I know the default config has no blue color but my question is how do I know what slot pertains to what led? Any pointers would be great.

 

Thanks RPILL.

Is the flash on the lightbar blue or the reflection from the flash on the ground?

The flash is blue its just what is seen on the ground and buildings.

Go in your ELS folder and copy the default_config, paste it in the same folder, it'll make a copy. Rename the copy into whatever you want, let's say blue, then open it, and change the lines:

 

Extra_1 = red

Extra_2 = red

Extra_3 = blue

Extra_4 = blue

Extra_5 = white

Extra_6 = white

Extra_7 = amber

Extra_8 = amber

Extra_9 = amber

 

to:

 

Extra_1 = blue

Extra_2 = blue

Extra_3 = blue

Extra_4 = blue

Extra_5 = white

Extra_6 = white

Extra_7 = amber

Extra_8 = amber

Extra_9 = amber

 

Then go to your _SLOTCONTROL file, and look for the car you want to have blue reflections. Let's say it's police in your case, go to:

 

[ POLICE ]

Status = on

File = default_config

 

And change it to:

 

[ POLICE ]

Status = on

File = blue

 

And it should work.

Is there a way to tell what extra_# is for what? By the way this did help thanks.

For that part I have no idea. I guess the best is to change one after the other and look what it does, except if you find someone that exactly knows what does what. From what I've seen so far it also depends of the lighting setup on the model itself.

Yes, the extras are set up on the model. If you open the ELS menu in game and watch the lights flash on the model and in the menu, you can tell which lights are assigned to each extra (note that many lights may be assigned to one extra). The top part of the menu (warning lights) are extra 5 and 6. The middle part (primary lights) are 1, 2, 3, and 4. The bottom part (secondary lights) are 7, 8, and 9.

Ok great thanks for the help guys. I will play with the colors until I find the combo I need.
