Ok first off I'm sure many seen my extremely undeserved rant in the official discussion thread. I'm sorry but I became extremely overwhelmed with the incredible amount of changes and the possibility of losing out on such an amazing setup that I had with 0.3. I then reacted and let out an unwarranted rant. And for that I'm sorry. After taking a deep breath and seeing that most if not all the plugins and scripts were updated I installed it correctly and gave it a go!

 

I just wanted to make a quick thread stating the above AND what I just experienced with LSPDFR 0.4. No plugins, enhancements or anything. To start off I want to talk about the callouts included, specifically the robbery in progress and everything that happened while taking the call....

 

I can absolutely tell a difference with LSPDFR now compared to 0.3. It has this certain fluidity with it and it feels "action packed". When taking the robbery callout you just feel this urgency to get there. You arrive on scene, but wait, the red blip goes away and this black X shows up. What is that? It's the place the suspect was last seen after fleeing from the scene. AWESOME TOUCH!!

So as I patrol the alleys and main roads I come across this gentleman running away from the scene of the crime. He seemed very suspicious, he had on the typical "thuggish" trouble making attire and thus I felt I should apprehend him to question him and to sort things out just incase. As I get him to the ground and cuff him, stand him up to do a search to make sure he doesn't have any weapons or anything illegal I get a pop up stating "suspects still on the loose 1".

 

Needless to say I apologized the young man and explained the situation. For him to be running from the area of the crime that took place it seemed EXTREMELY suspicious and I needed to be sure for the safety of the people of Los Santos and he himself as he was an innocent bystander in all of this. Unfortunately the suspect, is still at large.

 

And this was all in the first 10 minutes of playing this. I love the fact that you actually have to do some police work to find the suspects now as the blip goes away if you don't get there in time. I'm 50/50 on the quick map zoom as you get near the suspect that may still be in the area but it's a neat touch.

 

Long read and I'm sorry but I just wanted to say I'm on board and look forward to much more enjoyment of this amazing mod so far!

First off, it is nice to see you going back on what you said after giving it an honest go. Also, LSPDFR 0.4 sounds amazing, I can't wait to upgrade from 0.3 when I have the time. The way you have described one callout has already sold me.

Thank you for your honest feedback and reconsidering 0.4. I am very happy to hear that you are enjoying it so far. Stay safe!

Yes, thanks and NP.

 

Honestly I believe 100% of all plugins, scripts and visuals that I was using with 0.3 and that have been updated are working with 0.4 now. So that is AWESOME!

 

And thanks for the replies.

I was hesitant to go to 0.4 as well due to how I had 0.3 set up, but I backed up 0.3 and got 0.4 set up today. I'm extremely happy with it so far as well. There's actually ambient units patrolling around now, and I've even come across an AI unit on a traffic stop, which increases the realism of the game even more. I haven't even done much more than drive around and do proactive patrols, but there's probably new features that I have yet to discover.
