Backup not using lights

Jake R. P. · May 11, 2017

Hello there. I am having an issue. I do not know what it is but it seems as if my backup will not respond with lights or siren. If you have any idea of why this is happening please let me know.

Go to your els config settings in your main gta v folder

Make sure these are your settings, what are yours on?

I have also tried to reinstall ELS and it didn't work. I tried changing out the vehicles and didn't work.

I think its a problem with ELS. I installed all non els cars in the regular police and sheriff spots and just added my els vehicles as add on cars, it would be nice to use nothing but ELS cars but its too annoying to me to have them responding with no lights but siren blaring, and when responding to a traffic stop back up call they have no lights on but siren blaring. Hopefully this will get addressed in the future...until it does i will continue to run it the way i have it now.

I wish I could run addon vehicles. My computer not good enough to run addon vehicles or Peds. So I have to use normal slots. I hope Lt.Caine can get this fixed. If I could run addon vehicles it would be amazing but I crash after about 10 mins.

well, the way i do it is with albos modding folder mod, they dont spawn in traffic or game so that shouldn't affect your computer. well at least not the way i have them. i didn't edit the dispatch meta so in order for me to use an add on vehicle i just spawn which ever one i want to use with the trainer or you can do it with the rage console.

I agree though, i hope it gets fixed, it would be much more enjoyable if the issues were addressed.

I tried using albos modding folder. It messed up my whole game and had to reinstall everything. I may try it again. Maybe I will try this:

it shouldn't mess up anything in your game, as long as you install the addon vehicles correctly he has youtube tuturials on how to install everything. But good luck with the other one i don't have any experience with that one so i wouldn't know, most likely its the same concept, just make sure it has an up to date gameconfig file or it wont work.

Also if you don't feel like messing with all that, just run one ELS vehicle in a slot that doesn't normally respond as backup, (FBI) . put what ever car you want to use in that spot and the load the rest of the slots with non els vehicles.

Ok. Thank you for the help!
