So we've been quite noticeably silent over the past couple of months - there is reason behind the emptiness however, and much of it relates to how I and most others on the team have been increasingly busy with things in the real world and so on.  That doesn't mean that we're not still working away on LCPDFR, however, and it gets better than that as well because not only are we still pushing ahead with development on another update in the 1.0 series, but we've been focusing attention elsewhere as well - especially as it concerns both this community and the fast approaching GTA V which is seemingly just around the corner now.  Regardless, I thought that given the lack of news for a little while I'd take this opportunity to bring everyone back up to date with what we're doing and where we're going next.
 
IPS 4
 
On the immediate horizon for us is IPS 4, which is the major overhaul of our community software that powers LCPDFR.com.  IPS 4 has been in development for quite some time now and we've had a pre-release version of it hosted on a testing website for just over a month now, too.  For more information about IPS 4 and to take a look at it in action, I'd recommend you visit the pre-release demo set up by IPS at http://zend.ipsdevserver.com/ips4/  In short though, IPS 4 brings a much more modern and streamlined framework for building a community driven website.  Admittedly, LCPDFR has rocked the same design for just under 3 years now, and I do feel like it is again time for a change.  With IPS 4, we will be rolling out an entirely new theme, loosely based on this dark blue which we first introduced in late 2011. We are hoping that this is something that will be completed by the end of the year, although with this one. the ball isn't really in our court - we're just waiting for the software to be properly released.
 
 
LCPDFR 1.0
 
Back in the closing days of last year we released LCPDFR 1.0 - it was certainly a moment we'll never forget when our servers collapsed with all the downloads.  Throughout this year we've been updating LCPDFR 1.0 by bringing three patches, the last of which being 1.0c in summer of this year.  Work on the fourth patch, 1.0d, has, at a slow pace, been ongoing for a couple of months now and we'll be finishing it off by the end of this month if all goes to plan.  To give you an idea of some of the things that we've come up with for 1.0d, I've included an image I took a little while ago below:
 

 
 
GTA V
 
Of course, ever present in the minds of everyone now I would assume is the impending release of GTA V on PC.  Certainly we're all hotly anticipating it as well and are of course fantasizing over the possibilities that it could bring in terms of modding.  I'm cautious to raise high hopes considering the direction that GTA V has taken in terms of multiplayer integration and the tight restrictions that Rockstar and Sony/Microsoft have imposed on the current-gen release, although this hasn't deterred anyone from investigating what it might take to get the ball rolling with GTA V.  Our own LMS has been hard at work, with some others, studying Max Payne 3, the latest title which Rockstar released for PC, and has reported varying degrees of success in terms of modding.  It still seems to be a subject of ambiguity, but let there be no doubt about it, we'd absolutely love, more than anything, to be able to launch an 'LSPDFR' for GTA V.
 
 
Other notes
 
Despite GTA IV being nearly 6 years old, and LCPDFR being more than 5 years old, it is remarkable to see the level of interest that still surrounds us here on LCPDFR.com.  We recently just passed the 145,000 member mark and we're well on our way to reaching the big 150k.  I said last year (or at least I think I did) that it was an exciting time to be in the community with the release of LCPDFR 1.0 only weeks away.  Indeed, with just over two months until GTA V is released for PC, and a major website plus smaller LCPDFR update on the cards, I'd say that once again, it is definitely an exciting time to be here.
 
Sam. 

ahh ok well I guess after all the editing it sounds decent ! I really want a condenser microphone but to spend 100 bucks on a mic is ehh not really my priority I guess. 
 
Thanks for the reply !

30 minute Halloween Special is up! Little different from my usual, let me know what you guys think of the music.

Really liking your videos, keep em' up. The music on your latest video was not my cup of tea however, and I think your videos are much better off w/o it. Especially w/ constant commentary, lcpdfr's police scanner, and gta iv's ambient noises. 

Looks awesome. You need to put your PC specs somewhere, too!

^ I wished that there were more of these types of police cars being modeled/textured, rather than CVPI's.
 
Cheers.

There needs to be a version of this car with els rotary light but make it like the cheetah from vice city that chases you when you get 3 stars.

EDIT:
i just posted this so everyone can try to notify the owner of the above model to get it unlocked or have him produce it.

Do you mean that gun ownership can prevent such shootings?
 
I might be wrong but I think those shootings are a rare occurrence in Canada. They had a pretty bad year, no doubt, but only today in the States were two incidents, one with two deputies down and another one in a school. No gun owner stepped up and shot the criminal. So, the way I see it, shootings are more frequent in USA, and less frequent in Canada, and gin ownership doesn't help America too much.
 
Don't get me wrong, I love America and I support the second amendment, but that reference to Canada ain't a good argument. 

You need to change the "Game name" in the vehicles.ide eg.
pstockade, pstockade, car, STOCKADE, PSTOCK
 
pstockade, pstockade, car, (handling), (game name) 
 
So if you want your pstockade to sound and act like a crown vic, go for 
pstockade, pstockade, car, POLICE, POLICE,
 
if you want it to sound/handle like an SUV, try
pstockade, pstockade, car, POLPAT, POLPAT,

What do you guys think of this? I didn't really check the sources, is this legitimate? What would you have done?
 

At least he was polite about it, instead of most of these "activists" who would start being a dick to the officer, and then cry when the officer yells back.

It may be a waste of time for the officer, and a stupid argument, but I agree with the overall message of the author of the video. 
Police in America have this idea that they can and will do whatever the hell they want, and they have this idea because they are never held accountable under the claims of "within their force" and often times "resisting arrest". Accountability within departments and agencies nationwide would surely shape up the disgraceful act many agencies are presenting their citizens with. 
 
I think this officer was very professional and represented his department very well. Unfortunately this cannot be said for every situation and while I am a strong proponent of the idea that the small amount of bad apples outshadow the large amount of good ones, it sure would be nice to see a little more legal action regarding violations of those who serve the public 

Ugh, that Caprice has so much equipment on it, it might as well have a full blown livery on it imo. I'd love a clean one with civ wheels.

This is dope: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>
 
I like it simple and sober.

I quit the game and go install more shit until my IV can't handle it.

It is okay to double post in and bump your own media thread if you are posting an update.
 
Moved to LCPDFR Media.

Edit taxi.wtd and replace the signs with this image:

Do the same with taxi2, only using this image:

 
That should fix or at the very least reduce the bright lights.

Hahaha awesome vids man! We did a Mustang patrol right around the same time, epic!

Day 118 - Trying the new 2015 Police Mustang

Hey guys, thanks for checking out my channel! You'll find mostly LCPD:FR patrols, though I'm looking to get into other games. If you guys are interested in that stuff, feel free to check it out, maybe even subscribe if you like what you see. As for this thread, however, I'll only be posting my latest LCPD:FR patrols from now on. After some tweaks to my game, my videos are better than ever, and I'm hoping to show it off to you guys! Thank you so much for checking it out, and as always, stay tuned. 
 
 
 

Nice, always like game commentary.
