Squad is finally complete!!! Thanks you Desmond98 for all your hard work!

im assuming you will add the spotlights too?...cant forget those lol

0.1 version with lightbar and push bumpers is released

Edited October 13, 201510 yr by Desmond98

I would also make the grille black then it will be easier to install white textures

Here's a few bugs I've seen...

1. Lightbar glass becomes tinted
2. Half the lightbar is broken
3. A lot of lights flash red and white
4. Lightbar has blue and reds on the same sides
5. Dirt is messed up
6. Arjent model seems unfinished
7. Looks like template is off, as some white from a skin bleeds into the grill

And some suggestions...

1. You're missing any front lights
2. Missing rear window's LAPD traffic advisor set-up.
3. If it's a patrol unit it shouldn't have a push bar (unless you want a traffic unit).

 

Rear set-up flashes like...

Bugs...

     3. You saw the previous image, yes?  (Passenger's side gets dirty, driver's side stays clean.)

     4. Even in your own video you see red flashes on the blue side, blue flashes on the red side of the Arjent. Shouldn't do that. Also, many of the textures for flashing lights are white, and not very colored. The taillights corona is red but the texture on the car is white, the Arjent has white-looking textures while the coronas are colored.

Suggestions...

1. Watch the video I posted, it shows white flashing headlights and flashing corner lights.
2. The video shows it for maybe a second, so I drew you a diagram in the post. (You can see it your own video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mojibaq-8hk )
3. If it's a spawning extra, it isn't that big of a deal, but I'm asking that it won't always be there. Only LAPD traffic uses them and, if they have them, they always have lights on them (see 2's video), so you'd want to add them if you can.

Another great video...

Well, it was based on information that we found, some had push-bars, bear in mind he lives on the other half of the planet, so there was no way for any of us (the guys involved in giving some information) to know that the push-bar's are only for traffic units, certainly that information would have been far more useful a couple of days ago, when the question was originally proposed. 

Secondly there is no way of getting a working traffic advisor until an ELS system comes into play, thus far all models haven't had a traffic advisor, the limitations of the lighting slots (around 20 according to F5544) means that only the most important emergency lighting can be use.

Thirdly, unfortunately, KevinDV has an outstanding model for a lightbar, but is not allowing anyone to use it, I've contacted him and he's denied permission for anyone, including Desmond98, to use it. 

But please, if you do have any more images, diagrams (especially of the lighting or equipment) it will go a very long way to increasing the accuracy, I'm doing my best to provide information, but living across the Atlantic doesn't make me privy to inside out knowledge of the LAPD. 

I ask that you understand that this is a WIP, with plenty of work to do, so if you do find any bugs, that you should post them here. 

First Impression from On-Duty, nice first Version, lovely to see next Steps

Saving the Port

On the Airfield

General Services

School Police

LAPD & K9 on Scene

New Sheriff in Town

The model is great so far. However, it could use some lights in the rear and upfront in the grill. Its nice to see the explorer in the game though, and look forward to using it.....ALOT! :D

I love this vehicle. Outstanding job. I did see few bugs while on patrol. The lights aren't that bright on the light bar, the brake lights are a bit glitchy and need some color tuning, and the interior is not detailed at all, (But that's not an issue, I drive in 3rd person lol). Otherwise fantastic car, man. Really great. Can't wait for a CHP version. 

I am loving this car, except the lightbar isn't working like it is supposed to, none of the lights flash with an image, just a color that shows that they are there.

You need to go into carvariations and use sirensettings 13 for whatever car you replaced it with.

Everytime i touch the game files I end up breaking them, could you provide the carvaritations in the DL?
