Could it be possible to make Els cars with a removal rambar and light bar and or visor lights for slick top and non slicktop patrols?  If so it would be cool to see chargers explorers Tahoes 3rd and 4th gen crown vic and Taurus excetra would be cool to see this

I'm almost positive an ELS removable lightbar is not possible.  The lightbar itself would have to be non-ELS in order to do that.

 

Would be nice if it was ever do-able, but I doubt it.

When creating ELS models, each set of lights is combined together into an "extra". That's what you can toggle on/off in the trainer under "vehicle components". Now, these extras are usually used for additional, toggle-able, features on vehicle models. For example, the ride-on lawnmower has an extra for the blade cover underneath it.

 

When ELS flashes, what its actually doing is showing and hiding these extras, which are made of a material which is bright (an emmissive). Whereas non-ELS models use the same mechanics as the vanilla lightbars. These models tend to be a fair bit harder to make as they require a carcols file.

 

ELS uses all 12 possible extras (although ELS can be configured to use less, however this would mean less flashing lights). Usually, modellers will group together all these additional objects, which are not the emmissives, and have them under a "misc_a" group. Sometimes a rambar will be togglable, but that's generally about it.

 

Consider when you add ELS to the default ambulance and try to switch it on, the rambar on the ambulance will flicker on and off, because it is an extra on the model.

I understand the extra r lights but some cars have removable ram bars and divider between suspects and police is removable I feel like it could be possible but u would have to change the Els file everytime you wanted to make it a slicktop from non or visversa that way u wouldn't have random ambien flashing

Is there any way that we could get a button to turn on and off the amber parking lights without any other lights on like the picture below?
