I think this vehicle will need an own handling

Good question!  Currently I am replacing sherrif2, but this utility is a good bit smaller the Granger. especially wheel base, wieght, etc.  But it too big for Police3.  I was thinking of using police4 (The undercover stainer).  But, as Mercuri said,  maybe it's own handling would be more appropriate.  Will have to do some research on that.

 

Tonight's modeling effort....the interior dash shell.  The console, radio, laptop, and vents are next.

Thanks for the response, I agree that right now sheriff 2 is the most fit, it's unfortunate that Rockstar didn't give us a great spot for such an awesome vehicle.

Looks like it is coming along. Hope to see some in-game screenshots soon :)

dat high poly model good work

The normals on the exterior look really f'ed up

Maybe it could be added in? I'm sure someone with the right expertise could help with that. It's looking quite good and you're making good progress.

Any updates how far you got with your model?

moving along....have a minor collision issue I am dealing with, and i am currently working on materials/shaders.  The interior is taking forever, so i might release it with a basic low_poly interior then update it when i finish the high poly work.

I hope to have it released by the weekend.

sound amazing thanks for the modding work

no, I am attempting to get the model I made of a liberty II (see earlier posts) working as a light bar for this vehicle.  Most forces around here use that bar with this Ford.  Also going to make the push bar an extra if I can.

Sounds goddamn amazing, thanks for all you hard work and dedication.

Will this still mean we could possibly see its birth this coming weekend?

Just wait and do the interior, dont release it rushed and half complete

i wouldn't mind a release with a low poly interior, as long as the outisde looks good! Then he could just work the interior into updates. Just my opinion. 

Yes, He can release the model and then work in the interior and update it on a next version, between both version people can tell him the bugs that they find ;)

Can I suggest making a CHP version? Replacing Police4 (Unmarked) seeing as that is the vehicle used for highway patrol by default. I'm assuming everyone who's interested in Highway Patrol will use that slot, because that means that the AI will be CHP instead of something else. Plus, the CHP vehicles have a very similar pushbar and a similar lightbar, spotlight (s). 

The only difference is that the CHP have the steelies with five spokes, however the benefit of switching to the new steelies is that most (*Citation needed, (I'm from the UK, so I base this on my knowledge of the States) )  police departments which have the utility have those steelies. Such as Metro, LAPD, Chicago PD, NYPD etc. As such with one vehicle many different states can be replicated. 

In fact, I think that you should seriously consider changing the rims as a priority over everything else I said, whilst it'll be nice to have a CHP vehicle, the new steel rims are more applicable to most police departments who operate the Utility, so overall I think it would satisfy most users, as they'll only have to change the texture.

I've attached a link of the new steel rims, to see what I mean...

Of course, that's only a suggestion, and by no means will anyone complain if you choose not to (unless they're ungrateful b*stards). Good luck, I'm well and truly impressed with your car so far. All the best, and Godspeed with this.

That will require a change of the Vehicles.META, and since SHERIFF2 is more or less perfect for the Explorer there's really no reason 

Sorry gang, real life got in the way of modding this week, so I am little behind schedule.  However, the template is done, and sent out to those who expressed interest in making a skin.  If anyone wants to make skin for this, let me know and i'll send you the template. I should have the beta ready within the week.  After the beta test, I'll release it.
