This is the third part of our LSPDFR 0.3 preview series.  For more information about the background behind 0.3, check out the second installment in this series here: http://www.lcpdfr.com/forums/topic/55363-lspdfr-03-backup-customization

Perhaps one of the hottest talking points about LSPDFR, even way before the modification was released, was the question of if and how LSPDFR would make use of the new police station interior in Downtown Los Santos.  Indeed, while we attempted to incorporate the interior into the earliest versions of the mod - we were only really scratching the surface as to the potential it holds.  Back then, there was also no way of unlocking the expanded version of the interior featuring the locker room, briefing room and downstairs areas, which always acted as a further limit to any plans we had for it.

The exciting news is that with LSPDFR 0.3, the entire interior is unlocked and open for exploration, and this is where the fun really begins.  We've made a big effort to make the station come alive, much like we did the lawyers office in LCPDFR, but on a much larger scale.  Now, while to go into great detail about all of the new scenes and scenarios in the station would be telling, you can take a look at a couple of the screenshots provided to get a mere taste of the sights and sounds of the Downtown Police Station.

The cool stuff we've put in with the Downtown Police Station doesn't end there, though.  To allow for maximum immersion, you can now actually walk into the locker room and directly go on duty from inside, without any loading screens.  By simply approaching the lockers and hitting a key, the camera will seamlessly transition to give a view of the player, with the familiar character selection menu appearing shortly after.

Continuing with this theme, LSPDFR 0.3 also introduces a great deal of new functionality for dealing with arrested perps.  We'll cover most of this in the next installment of this series, but for now be safe in the knowledge that 0.3 lets you actually walk inside and drop-off your prisoners directly inside the cells.  Plus, for those of you looking for the authentic southern Californian law enforcement experience, you can quite literally throw your prisoners down the stairs on the way there!

Of course, on the topic of arresting people, there's so much more that we could show you, but that'd maybe be a little too much awesomeness to take in for one day.  Instead, stay tuned for the next part of this update series - you won't want to miss it!

No loading screens? Thank god, it's no longer Sims 4!

I knew it! Enhanced Arrestingtm!
WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Nice! 

AWESOME
 

What was it the State Trooper in GTA 4 said? "Wanna know why so many people fall down the stairs..." something or other?

 

 

Joke aside, looks great! Will the mp_m_freemode and mp_f_freemode character models be available at the police station, or will it still be just the usual? (I ask this because there is a police uniform for those two models)

I think it was 'Wanna know why so many people fall down the stairs in my precinct'

I was about to go to bed. Good thing I did a last F5 just before :D

Can't wait to see that :)

Will the mp_m_freemode and mp_f_freemode character models be available

Probably not in 0.3, but we have big plans in relation to that.

Wow! Great job @Sam Cant wait!

Lovely. Cant wait for the update so i can play again

Thanks to Sam and LMS, you guys are incredible. You're the only reason why I even load up GTA V.

omg i cant wait! this update looks to good to be true!

any chance it will also lower the aggressiveness of the police NPC's? Id be alot more willing to call in backup if they didn't immediately ram every other vehicle on the road :P

Literally something I've been wanting to be implemented into the LSPDFR mod. Thank you so much for everything you guys are doing. I really appreciate it and I can't wait.

when will this be released

We're still working away on it.  Some more things to finish and show off first.

Creative use of multiplayer characters lol. Will the NPCs and scenarios be randomized, or will you see the same thing each time?

Be proud of what are you guys making for GTA, if there isn't LCPDFR or LSPDFR i think that GTA will become a lot bored after a while , WELL DONE ! 

Will 0.3 work on the newest version of GTA 5, cause I didn't backup my game before the update so now I can't play until the next version comes out.
