Okay, so I have noticed the lack of the Altima for quite some time and given it was one of the most frquent vehicles back when I have been there last year I thought why not? Plus, there is a NYPD version of it, so that's a reason more for me. 

The exterior is already completed, an engine has been added and only a detailed interior along with doorsills is missing. Everything else is pretty much done. All lights working, LOD models present, all parts dirt mapped... I have decided to wait with a thread because I didn't know whether I would actually complete it, but in the current stages I think it's safe to say that it comes along very well. I'm currently focusing on finishing the civillian version and then build the other version out of that one or release an unlocked model for others to play with. We'll see.

I'm releasing it as is, even though I would have liked to work a little more on this, I just can't do it at the moment.

 

Note: You may edit and re-publish this mod as long as you keep the original credits. If you release it anywhere outside of LCPD:FR, make sure it is locked. I have put some serious time into this and don't want some wannabe to mess with this.

Looks awesome

That looks really nice, good work.  Would love to have more NYPD cars, and especially dev resources.

Looking forward to this! Looks great!

Nice! I always wanted to see the NYPD Altima and an NYC taxi version of it. If you need any help you know where to find me :D

That is one hell of a job. Good work!

Nice work dude! Oddly enough, one of my local RCMP detachments uses an unmarked Altima.

One question though, will this be ELS enabled? I know you and ELS didn't go along just well for your previous models, so here's hoping it'll be ELS enabled. But I'll get it even if it's not, it'd just be a huge plus.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

YES! FINALLY! So glad you decided to take up the task. I've been debating doing it myself for a long while, though I'm not sure I've got the skillz for it like you do.

Glad to see feedback like this. Would've never thought that an Altima made such an impact :D

 

@Hystery: yea well, hm... Actually I'm not planning on doing it, but I actually don't hesitate to give my mods to other people so they can edit it to have ELS enabled. To be honest, right now I just want to finish the civillian version and then see how much more time I can put into it. Otherwise I'll leave the service versions to you guys. I hope to have it completed by the next weekend

:D

Oh my god.. Now Hawaiians can have their undercover cars too.

YESS! I can't wait to use this. I'm hoping for more versions than just an NYPD version? Maybe unmarked with stock rims? :D

Wow, thank you

Mamaiii maammaaii, GET THEE CAMMAARAAAA!

Some new pictures, this time not in the showroom but on the street showing off the dirt

 

 

 

The boot and rearlights

 

 

(carpet mapping will be fixed)

 

 

If you have any questions, suggestions, etc, just name them. Also, the hood and boot will get hinges, right now they look a little awkward just floating on their edges when opened

My only suggestion- if you did any succession saves on the engine, take a lower-poly/lower-quality one out and slap it on the police version. Most coppers 'round 'ere don't care much about details like those, rather filesizes.

Looks good so far! Can't wait to see any police versions that get made.

it's actually quite low in my opinion. Texture is only 512x256 and the whole engine has about 1400 polies.

in that case, allow me to pat your back 'cuz from the screens it looks pretty HQ. Great work as usual, bud!
