That must be only with custom sirens, because I don't have that issue with the default one while using vehicle invincibility. That command only seems to prevent vehicle deformation, it can still get scratched to hell. If I use the 'repair' function; then yes, the siren loop does restart.

I can assure you (as I have assured other people prior) that a primary goal of G17 and the Testing Team is to restore functions from the LCPDFR mod into LSPDFR. Don't worry.

People just love to shit on Microsoft. I've had Windows 10 since launch and haven't had any issues that stem from the operating system.

I had no idea you could tag people on this forum. Neat. Regarding the monitor; firstly, before you make the leap to resolutions above 1080p, make sure that you have a monster of a video card ready to handle it. Secondly, the lighting of a monitor is an area of controversy. A lot of LCD monitors (at least while I was still selling and repairing computer hardware) have a single back light in the dead center of the screen. This would occasionally cause issue where the color vividness and brightness would wither as you got closer to the sides of the screen. Later LCD models corrected this by having either more than one back light, or by having side lighting; which technically can cause the problem you described; although I've never actually seen that problem happen in the real world. LED monitors as far as I know shouldn't have any sort of side lighting or back lighting at all; because LED literally stands for light emitting diode. They're literally a bunch of illuminated dots evenly spread across the screen that can change colors. Think of it as a light bright toy (if you were an American in the 90's, you'll remember): LED Back light Setup Light Bright Toy They share the same principal. Interchangeable colors over a constantly on back light. So there should be no need for "side lighting" now that we're in the days of LED's. No idea what they're talking about now that liquid crystal is no longer the major type of monitor. Response time is kind of a mixed bag. Some monitors will advertise themselves as being 2ms delay; but it doesn't always specify if it's 2ms gray to gray, or another color spectrum. I had a 2ms Samsung LCD monitor that was nice; and unfortunately it died on me after a few years. It would no longer turn on; and I needed a replacement monitor immediately; so I reluctantly went to a local electronics store and bought what I could. I wound up getting an LG IPS (in-plain switching) LED monitor with a 5ms delay. I've noticed no real world difference despite the fact that I played shooters that demanded quick reaction time such as Counter Strike Source/GO and Battlefield 3 & 4. Lastly, resolution is a literal multiplication measurement of how many pixels are on screen; like when your math teacher asked you to get the 'area' of a square or a rectangle. You multiply length times width to get your answer. Fun fact: Monitors are now wide screen instead of squares due to the human peripheral vision being wider from left to right than it is from above to below. A resolution of 1920X1080 gives you a total of 2,073,600 pixels to play with. That's certainly a lot, but the problem is that as the surface area of the monitor gets bigger, and the resolution stays the same; those pixels need to become a lot bigger to cover the surface area. So if you want a massive monitor, 1080p isn't going to look all that good compared to a monitor of equal size sitting next to it with a higher resolution. Just keep in mind that when dealing with monitors; yes, a higher resolution can make things look crisper, but its at the sacrifice of your GPU having to work a lot harder to render everything. You need more texture memory to store the larger textures being applied to models, and the memory clock speeds and core clock speeds need to be higher to move that information through. I could technically fit a 27" monitor where I'm sitting (I have a 23"), and if I paid a good chunk of money, I could get a 4K monitor instead of the 1080p resolution that I have. But on a screen this small, I probably wouldn't notice the difference, and my frame rate has nowhere to go but down when applying that higher resolution. On a big screen TV, that's another story. A 50" LED running 4K resolution does indeed look nicer (but only when running 4K content; which is currently almost non-existent with current TV channels). TLDR; Buy what makes sense. Frame rate, cost, space. Those are the main factors to consider.

The laws in California sort of contradict each other on this actually. The noises of a "priority tone" are indeed recognizable as that of an emergency vehicle, and is therefore a siren. But the fact that some priority tones may be too fast for California law means that they are also not a siren. Here's the literature for you: It seems as thoug the 13 CCR § 1021Cal. Admin.
