I would be 3rd in line for interest!

Thanks for you input and effort but in the end changing the flag in the .ide seems to have had the desired effect on the couple of cars I wanted to change.
But anyway thx for the effort.

Edit: I have saved the image anyway in case I need it in future ;)

Oh wow, I was helping a friend finding this, this will definitely help him . :D

ELS is just extra lights like cp said above, it depends on the modder, how he will enable and mod that car to which ELS version or a non-ELS car.

Just go to gtapolicemods.com, and look for the car you want and read the statement of it, some will say ELS enabled and some will said non-ELS.

LCPDFR Is meant to run on a clean, Un modded version of GTA IV/EFLC, I suggest you just do this:
Get Gta installed,Make sure its working, Have fun with it for a bit.
Get LCPDFR, Play it and LEARN IT, Its not a simple mod, It takes some time to get used to, Don't get into all the un needed stuff like modded cars and un necasary scripts, Wait till down the road, When your confident to do it, Don't let other s*** mods mess up your first time experiencing LCPDFR, Its perfectly fine stock, Trust me.

JAM.

PS: When you DO start adding other stuff in, Don't over do it, Do it SLOWLY, add one mod at a time, And start from there, See if it runs good, Then, Add another if you want, Over doing it doesen't make the game fun, How you play it is what makes it fun, You can easily F*** Up your game just by adding one simple crappy mod, And its never fun to re install...

Thats what my plan is. Just play with it for a while first. One thing, when i first download LCPDFR, does it come with cars, uniforms, sirens, lights...etc? thank!

Alright, when I get the game Ill figure everything out...with the help of everyone here of course!

nope its just the LCPD:FR mod everything is original from rockstar it has no weapon/skin/ car mods. only thing it adds is a taser witch u can use by pressing alt and T

Do you run Windows 7 on your new Computer?

Whatever I listed below you might just want to Google and download

So what you need to get started is you will need to download the

What is needed to start the download of LCPDFR:

- .NET Framework 4 Full Profile
-Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable
-Legitimate Copy of GTAIV - Which you should have when the game arrives
-Games for Windows Live Redistributable 3 Which will download when you start the game after you are done downloading GTAIV/EFLC.

So you might just want to Google those and get those in your PC. The purpose of doing that is for enabling and allowing LCPDFR to download. Although you can refer to for more help. Trying doing all of right now or after you download your game.

FYI:
LCPDFR will just automatically be placed into your Scripthook folder in your GrandTheft Auto 4 Directory after download. For more information on this, you can go to the directory AFTER you download GTAIV and it is properly installed: Computer > C: Drive > Programs (x86) > Rockstar Games > Grand Theft Auto 4 and in there you will find all of your modifications and modded files. But, regardless of that, your Vehicle Mods/Weapon mods and some other mods will NOT go in GTA4 Directory but will go into SparkIV/OpenIV which I will give you more info later.

It is very confusing rather than complex for beginners. But, I'll show you once or twice and you will get the hang of it. Read my 1st Post up there in the FYI section to answer your question.

And yes, as Justin said, it is required to install LCPDFR. If you don't have those, then you cannot continue your LCPDFR Download. Here, just and just click "Next" until you reach a window where you can see the green "Checkmarks". If they are ALL Checked, then you don't need to do what I said above, if some are check and some not, then just download the one that has the Red X on it.


Ah darn it, sorry for the Double Post! I didn't realize it until after. Sorry!

Thanks guys! So Im gonna do this step by step...and probably need some help along the way. But the next/first step would be to install GTA EFLC. And after that try to download LCPDFR and see what else that tells me to download?

Nice video found, Avrohom, I suggest you refer to this video on how to import car mods and download sparkiv. Its very simple once you get the hang of it. Hehe, and for your info, every file you download of car will have .wtd and .wft. Always 2 files.

Welcome to LCPD:FR!

Glad you can join the Community! And its great that you are enjoying LCPDFR as GTAIV.
See you around!
