Yes and yes, that could result from having commonly-used buttons in the radio

Of course. Donating simply supports me and the development.

After nearly 3000 of you downloaded April FoolsRadio (and, dare I say, got caught out ) it's finally time for you to sit back and enjoy some additional smartness added to your game Enjoy guys! Police SmartRadio Police SmartRadio is the successor to Police Radio, originally by @FinKone. After he 'retired' from the script modding scene, I was appointed to maintain the source code and I have released a number of updates to Police Radio since this happened. However, after seeing Police Radio's code become more and more obsolete, and with further developments within the script modification scene, I took it upon myself to start with the whole Police Radio concept from scratch. Hence, Police SmartRadio was born - and after weeks of me developing it from scratch, testing it and mentioning it on my Youtube channel, I figured now is the time to make a public announcement on it. Police SmartRadio vs Radio? What can you expect from this Police SmartRadio? Ultimately, I have focused on providing optimal user customisation while designing the SmartRadio's core. Think of stuff like adding your own (functional) buttons, creating and finetuning your UIs to a T and tweaking all settings and behaviour to your liking. Additionally, all the major logic has been rewritten from scratch as well, with a focus on modernisation and ease & pleasure of use. As an example of this, Plate Checks now fully tie into all available API databases, meaning you will experience more consistency. You're also able to run the same vehicle twice, and the data is presented to you in a far more pleasurable fashion than before. All other core parts of SmartRadio enjoy similarly significant improvements. Police SmartRadio's Features Most features from the 'old' Police Radio will be included in Police SmartRadio's initial release. As hinted at just now, there will also be a number of all-new features for you to enjoy. An overview of features planned for the initial release will follow shortly - although you should watch my videos to see for yourself. I am also happy to announce flickering is virtually non-existent in Police SmartRadio. "Release Date Pls" I hope to release Police SmartRadio as soon as some external plugins have been made up to date for it, which will happen imminently. Its current state, which is not the final release, is currently available to all participants of the Loyalty Rewards Programme. This ensures the public release is as smooth as possible as potential bugs are found out, and people who support me by donating get rewarded. Ultimately, the release date will mostly depend on the amount of time I can spend on developing SmartRadio - you can help me here by donating, allowing me more time to focus on development and less on worrying about my student finances. Donating can also grant you access to the Loyalty Rewards Programme, meaning you get earlier access as a bonus as well as supporting me and expediting the release. Update: currently waiting for some other plugins (BetterEMS, CustomBackup, new RPH, my other plugins etc.) to get their updates released. This is not something I have control over for the most part. The full release will wait until that satisfactorily happens to ensure proper functionality. Apologies for the delay. "Can't wait, Moar Info!" I'll be updating this topic as I go along. For the latest updates you should check out my Youtube channel, where I regularly ask for your feedback so I can implement it and showcase Work In Progress parts of the modification. The most recent video where I used Police SmartRadio can be found here: Further videos: Ta-ta for now and until next time! Please feel free to post questions and suggestions as a comment here or on my relevant YouTube videos.

Thank you so much for the very kind (and not to mention, much-needed) initiative! I'm glad you enjoy my and other modders' work enough to consider doing this, means a lot!

I completely agree. The 0.2b system (without sprints) was far better. Giving the player some sort of sprint boost (like I did in my Foot Pursuit Aid) where they could run slightly faster than the suspect is far more realistic than suspects tripping over thin air. I hope this system is thoroughly overhauled in the next update. Ideally, there'd be an INI option with a 'fall' chance for suspects that can be set to zero.
