Are you still going to add the Hi-Lo tone to this?

Likely won't get into this much detail.

Any particular reason why? You don't deem it particularly necessary or it would be too difficult to code?

 Noted on making it work for all emergency vehicles.  I'll look at what the current delay is, and try to work in the air horn.

 

Yes.

Thank you, appreciate you as a developer taking on feedback.

A couple of other ideas:

On quieter roads with no traffic or when stationary, the AI are smart and turn off their siren temporarily and then back on when traffic is detected.

An option for European/UK players.

When the AI siren sound changes, a short horn sound can play - see here as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnzGjoXa1dk

So horn beep once when turning on siren and changing tone, and horn double beep when turning off siren.

Cheers again.

Unfortunately, you're the only person to tell me the feature isn't working.  I can't "fix it" without more information.  I also will not be releasing it as a separate plugin.

Right I've got it working. Turns out I hadn't configured ELS properly. Anyway, I can see the logic behind the siren cycle script. You're basically telling the game script to mute the siren sound, then very quickly turn it back on again, and naturally ELS randomly selects one of the siren tones from the VCF each time the siren is triggered. So of course you can't choose a specific tone or cycle of tones each time this happens. It's a shame Lt. Caine hadn't setup ELS to work better with siren tones and cycling. But, firstly, it would be nice to see the AI siren cycle working on all ELS vehicles including fire and ambulance, not just police ones. Secondly, maybe you could reduce the delay time between the siren being switched off and then triggered back on again, so the cycling is a lot quicker and smooth? Finally, would be great to have some airhorn usage which I'm sure would be possible to do. Cheers.

This epsilon has the European tones, i'll try to make one for ya. 

Cheers, Hi-lo tone on this siren would be cool.

Excellent siren quality. Reckon you could get hold of any UK sirens to record? RSG sirens or Whelen Alpha?

The AI Siren Cycle feature does not seem to be working. Would be cool if you fixed it, made it into a separate plugin and it worked on all game emergency vehicles. More options like airhorn usage would be cool too.

@RCrw notik @Tinman1287 @ASTK9 That's easy to do. Simply open up vehicles.meta and click Replace and replace 'FLAG_BIG' with blank space. That flag is what stops certain big vehicles from reacting to sirens.

Good but too slow

...🤔I have just compared your link with my video and it is rather precise for what you ask me... I would say even surgical 😷

Just try to improve the original EC135 if you can with more of that 'whir' noise.

Can you make EC135 sound with blade noise reduction? - like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCfr2Z69aIQ

@ShotsFired932 I will PM you my UK horns and you have my permission to release them in this mod with credit.

How did you do this and could you show me how? Did you modify the ASI to use the WAV sounds instead of the default beeps? I'd love it if the tap sounds could be replaced with car horns like the UK

Hi can you make this for V?

Any chance you could update this and make it a standalone RPH plugin plus customisation to the vehicle models that spawn and how many etc.?

I guess it depends on where you patrol. 5 units for the city doesn't seem that bad but when you're patrolling the county 5 units seems like a lot.  I would like an option to turn off police responses because I personally don't like the idea of 5 police units blowing past you lights and sirens and having no idea whats going on.  

Yes exactly, there should be an option in the ini because when patrolling in LSPDFR, you should know if there's a call in your area. Anyway, were I live (the UK), even London you would not get 5 units all following each other to a call, possibly separately from different directions but never one behind another.

It creates random number of units per response. 

Police: 2-5 units

Fire/Rescue: 2-3 units

FBI: 2-3 units

I didn't want to put single unit response as the game already creates those occasionally.

Hmm yes true, but the game only creates them around hospitals, police stations of fire stations and nowhere else. I still think up to 5 units is too many, especially as being so rare in real life.

Possibly will be added to INI.

Yes, I think whilst on duty there should be no police responses but whilst off duty there can be, an ini option sounds best. Also, could you lower the amount of police cars responding at once. Normally having 4 units and 2 bikes responding is very uncommon, it should be maybe one or two cop cars. For ambulances it should be one ambulance and for fire it should one or two trucks. Obviously having more on occasion is fine.

Okay thanks. Also do you think you can remove the notification and sound each time a response is created? Adds the realism and ambience if it is removed I think. Thanks.

Nice, I will test it soon. But do you think you can make it a standalone RPH plugin, and not integrated with LSPDFR?

Some interesting skins you've been making recently. Do you think you could make a Met Police skin for BG88s Lancashire Mercedes Riot Van?

Whats that bud?

The vehicle lowers my FPS overall, but not only that, every time you drive past another car (especially at night), there is an extreme lag spike (lowered to like 5 FPS). I can confirm this only happens when using this model. I wondered if you could fix it?

Not sure what the problem may be caused by, i've not had any issues or fps drops, you could try asking in the forum, maybe someone with more experience may be able to help you

I've asked the author already. I was just wondering if you had the same issue. Thanks.

not had any issues using the model

I'm not sure what it is. There is lag when previewing the yft model in OpenIV. It reduces my game FPS by a bit but the worse part is every time you drive past another car (especially at night) there is an extreme spike in FPS (down to like 5 or something). Shame really.

I seem to have extreme lag spike issues when using Bulldog's model. Unfortunately won't be using any British skin either. Do you have this issue also?
