Just getting in my monthly gallery upload quota that I set for myself.

Everything has to start from somewhere...

They hatin'
 

The City of Los Santos Council has passed a motion to redesign the existing police fleet. After council was presented with various quotes from various design companies, they chose three designs to send to the police department members for them to make the choice on which design they liked the most.
 
"The idea was to give the members the voice - they're the ones using these vehicles, they're the ones who knows whats best for not only them, but our communities." said Mayor Ivan Ofulitch. 
 
The police officers decided on this design, and a final quote is in the works to be obtained for the first quarter of 2018 to phase in a total of 100 new cruisers on the streets.

As promised - Part two: the LSMPD Caprice Patrol Vehicle
 
With the release of the Expedition and the Caprice by Him1250, I'll be adding to my LSMPD pack with a sort of 'free addon DLC' style pack. 
 
The pack with feature three new vehicles: LSMPD Patrol and Supervisor Expedition, a LSMPD Patrol Caprice and a LSMPD Detention and Police Support van. 
 
With the addition of the 'Addon DLC' pack, the original pack will receive some TLC and the vehicles have been updated and a few bugs have been fixed. It'll come with a new carcols file, ready for my Toronto Style LSPD Pack that's coming soon.
 
Hopefully will get this out in the next few days.
 

Technically, it's Festivus. I've had a whole lot of problems about this year, and now, you're going to hear about it!
 
This year, I've had many ups, and many downs. From the start of the year, despite the upcoming GCSE exams, life had felt pretty fine - I had quite possibly the best day of my life, I went to prom and lived it up, and I've got (almost) the results I've wanted. But since I've started college, and with recent events such as the Manchester bombings, Grenfell, and with personal problems such as trying not to get my disability allowances stripped unfairly, I've been feeling pretty down and out lately, and it really showed on Friday. Maybe the winter blues have finally caught up with me.
 
But with the end of the year coming soon, maybe next year will be a fresh, more uphill start. Sure, I'll miss school, and sure, it hurts to see what's going on around the world sometimes, but maybe, 2018 won't be so bad. And in terms of GTA modding and all, I'm planning on getting a few more mods out before the winter season is done. I would just like to share to this community, even though it sometimes seems that I don't stick around in it very often, that I feel pretty good about being here, especially now that I have learned to screenshot and publish my little fantasies in the gallery. It sort of feels like I'm putting myself out there on the internet for once, and in a good way. It's the sort of thing that makes me come back to GTA modding, even though I can't play GTA V because I broke it.
 
And with that, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

And an aging problem, according to the Fire Chief in Elk Grove. The fire engines are beginning to fall apart.
 
In a somewhat humorous, classic Hollywood style moment, the Elk Grove Fire Department was called to an automatic fire alarm in one of the service districts, and upon arrival, the driver opened his door, and, much to their surprise, the door fell right off of the hinges.
 
"The fleet is unbelievably old." says Mike Ocksuge, Fire Chief in Elk Grove.
 
"There's not many options out there in the market. We're unfortunately stuck with the stock fire trucks."
 
He says that there are other trucks out there, but, the city just can't use them.
 
"They're in a private market. Making them very difficult to get."
 
Casual picture just pointing out that we really need better fire truck models in GTA V, or, ya know, for ya good friend DukSezQuak and his Elkridge project. 

Was doing some more experimenting with my full halogen light bar today, and I thought I'd branch out a little from the Police Vehicles. 
 
Blaine County Fire Department set up a volunteer division a few years ago to monitor and report forest fires in the Chiliad State Wilderness. backed by the San Andreas Park Rangers, the BCFD spent some of the funding on pickup trucks for the volunteer wardens to use. In total the volunteers cover everything from Paleto Forest down to Cassidy Creek. 
 
The truck comes with standard MDT linked to the BCFD control room and mapping software, radios, fire extinguishers to tackle small fires and camp fires, medical bags and a bike for all those hard to reach places. 

[EDIT: Enough people are showing an interest, may release this as a standalone vehicle, anyone actually interested in this?]
 






 

This wasn't really going to be the next vehicle I showcased for the pack, and especially not this soon into development. But in life you gotta break some rules.
 
An LSMPD Lenco Bearcat. Comes with interior and and standard SWAT package. SWAT guys not included. 
 


 

The pack is pretty much done. Added a '16 FPIU with and without an arrow board and a '16 FPIS with an arrow board. That makes the pack now consist of five vehicles. Just sorting out VCF's and other files my testers are going to need. 
 
Testers: Watch your inbox's, I'll be sending out the test pack within the next few hours. 
 

It's getting to winter time, some I've returned to my Canadian pack. Aiming for release with this one (actually mean it this time).
 
Currently only have the updated CVPI and FPIS, but will include a FPIU and maybe an arrowboard variant too. 
 
Features my Canadian-ish light bar I made a while back. It has coloured rotors too when the light bar is off. I will swap out the plates so that they are templated. 
 

As RDE 3.0 enters the last phases of work, I thought I bring you another teaser; Yard's new LSSD peds, and a small peak at a Sheriff Stanier.
 
Part of RDE going forward is a major sub-project, lead by yours truly, to rework the vanilla vehicles to more accurately reflect their real life counterparts. Such reworkings and changes include: removing bullbars, tweaking lighting patterns and lightbars, and adding computers. Do note: not all vehicles are guaranteed to be 100% accurate, due to game limitations (i.e.: carcols), and the availability of lore friendly parts. 

You can get RDE here: http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/9266-realism-dispatch-enhanced/ 

When I'm not working on vehicles for RDE I'm working on stupid shit.

If the OIV guys are going to bring back LC, expect us here at the RDE team to begrudgingly support. Watch the OpenIV Liberty City trailer here.
