I think that's the issue. My backup XML is set so that local and NOOSE heli have only one person inside and on top of it I have set IsArmed as no to make sure no one will shoot at suspects yet I still have air units shooting at people evading from a simple traffic stop... Is there any way to calm down the heli units patrolling the city?

0.3 AI is definitely way too compliant as they hardly ever resist if they are not part of a callout that includes that possibility (even pulled over vehicles seem less encline to take off). Just an obvious example: the random GTA V pursuits, in 0.2 I used to help units that were engaging in a pursuit and it would always end in a shootout as these suspects would be armed and dangerous, in 0.3 they just run out of the vehicles and usually just give up. That coupled with the AI that keeps tripping over and over when you engage in a foot pursuit and arrests became a little too easy to the point where it turns to be somewhat boring because we're missing that unpredictable element from the previous version. TLDR: 0.2 AI was perfect.

Thanks for the clarification, I had actually set it to 300 before seeing your reply and it seemed to be fine (I mostly play in Los Santos so it might make it easier then) though I was considering increasing it to 400 as it seemed still a little too close to me. Even with 300 if you are on a road in the county backup will spawn right ahead of the suspects which feels like an I-win button. I am trying to find a value that would make backup close to what they were in 0.2, honestly it was perfect for me, they would show up in a timely manner in the city and it could take a little longer outside... as it should be.

I guess nothing keeps modders from already making that kind of callouts. But to be honest just like patrolling with a bike it would get old quickly since there's not much that you can do. It looks cool on paper, it feels great the first 30 minutes you play but there is little variety of situations to stay hooked in the long run.

Thanks for leading me to this thread. How high would the value mess with spawning?

Hi! I am installing (manually) LSPDFR 0.3.1 and the change log got me confused: "Added configuration (.ini) option: 'MinimumBackupDistance' - this will be respected when dispatching backup units" lspdfr.ini is still the same, does that mean that we have to add a line under [Main] and it would look like: [Callouts] CalloutsMultiplier=250 [Main] PreloadAllModels=False ForceDutyModel=s_m_y_cop_01 MinimumBackupDistance=100 Thanks in advance!

In all honesty if all you play is LSPDFR with different callouts and QOL plugins using Rage Hook you don't need a different folder since none of these mods actually modify the game files. You can boot GTA Online and no one will ever know that you have these mods. On the other hand if you start modding the game, as in modifying/adding vehicles, tweaking various files (like visual settings), using trainers, etc. never go Online without removing these files first or without using a different install folder.

I thought I had been precise enough... I did say: 1. local air unit 2. Police Maverick 3. "whether lethal force is required or not"

After watching closely the behaviour of the local air units (Police Maverick) I came to realize that they are always shooting at the suspects, whether lethal force is required or not. There is no mistake, you can see the bullets flying in the air coming from above, you can see the glasses being shattered by the impacts and you can hear the suspects moaning as they get hit. I thought that maybe it was the second officer inside the helicopter shooting at them so I changed the number of peds inside to 1 and the air unit is still shooting the suspects. Could it be looked at and hopefully fixed?

I think I have found out what the issue is. Air units (Police Maverick) are shooting the suspects even when non-lethal force is required. I have been chasing suspects who simply evaded a traffic stop and the helicopters around that joined in regularly shot at them (you can hear the shots and you can hear the suspect in pain), I guess the second officer inside the helicopter has nothing else to do so I'm editing the backup XML file to have only one person aboard. I'll see if that makes it better.
