The strange thing is, now, it seems to be working. I have noticed all 5 of my CHP models spawning when calling for state patrol backup AND panic button with smart radio. It might seem like the bike does spawn more often, though, but it is not the sole responding vehicle. In the past I have removed the bike entirely from the backup. I'd rather see vehicular models personally :) I might do that again... By the way, no, I am not using custom backup. Should I?

I have been looking for a way to organize and consolidate all of my add-on vehicles including vehicles.meta and carvariations. I think Albo's method here is AMAZING. Thus far, I have installed 5 add-on CHP vehicles, and renamed them as such, CHP, CHP2, CHP3, CHP4, and CHP5. I have all of the cars working properly, handing, audio, etc. I can spawn them manually and everything is great, the models, textures, and everything else is great. I added these file names in to LSPDFR's backup file, for when I call STATE patrol. However, only the Police Bike shows up. It seemed to me as if LSPDFR can't find the files in Albo's mods DLC, however, my Police Bike is ALSO a custom model that is in the same folder. The only difference could be that POLICEB is a default GTAV model name and CHP, CHP2, CHP3, CHP4, and CHP5 are not. However, I never had this problem before when installing add-on vehicles. For instance, LSPDFR was able to successfully load the FBI6 or Police 5 models when calling for backup. The only difference here is that these models were previously installed in one of GTAV's DLC folders, not Albo's DLC folder. By the way, I started clean - I deleted my mods folder entirely and started over, just to make sure that there would be no conflicts between previously installed models and now, Albo's organized way of installing models. Any thoughts or ideas?

Awesome CHP pack. I installed all 5 cars as add-on vehicles, chp, chp2, chp3, chp4, and chp5. Perfect lighting setup with proper forced ELS patterns that pertain to out-of-vehicle and yelp siren as well! A+++!

I see that. I also just figured out that the auto installer does not have the updated model with trailer hitch. I have updated my model using the files in the main folder and all is well! I set mine up by deleting some of the liveries as well, only using the state police livery, the two county police liveries, and the swat livery, so that the vehicle can auto spawn via dispatch for NOOSE or local SWAT and not look out of place with Fire Department or NASCAR skins. I also started from scratch, deleting my mods folder and starting over using Albo's DLC pack add-on, for consolidation and easier management of all custom models. Everything seems to be going smoothly, so far!

Here's the strange thing. LSPDFR identifies the van as a police vehicle, as I can blip a vehicle with the shift key to pull it over. However, when I flip on the lights, it doesn't know its a police vehicle so it never pulls over. Also, police radio's tow truck identifies it as a police vehicle because it asks me if I want to press Y or N to tow the police vehicle. But somehow traffic in the game does not know when the lights/sirens are on or off. Maybe it has to do with ELS? The more I think about it, it is not so much as the game not identifying it as a police vehicle, but the AI not knowing the ELS is in stage 3 or not.

Is the tow hitch supposed to be visible with this new model? There is nothing visually different between the new uploaded model and the old. I have not yet tried backing up to attach a trailer.

Sounds good, thank you.

What did you change in the latest version? If it seems to be installed fine, is there any reason to reinstall the latest version? Any fixes or changes the model?

I double checked, siren and light settings are set properly in carvariations.ymt and the law enforcement and emergency vehicle flags have been inserted in vehicles.meta. I looked inside of carcols.ymt and I am not finding minivan. What am I supposed to change in carcols.ymt? By the way, your latest version is Version 3.2 but the title says 3.1 for your "changes."

Yes Candace, I was editing vehicles.meta. What do you mean about the right version? Do I need to edit both carcols and carvariations? I have only edited carvariations. And yes, my wheels look silver like that. A lot better than the original black wheels.

I really like this model, got around to trying it out this afternoon. The wheels on my van look great, they aren't black like in the photos. However, maybe I should have installed it as an add-on so that it wouldn't be spawning with civilians all over the map. The lights look great too. I edited the flags, siren, and light settings for minivan in carvariations and vehicles.meta, however, people aren't pulling over to the side for this as they do other law enforcement and emergency vehicles. Did I do something wrong or did I forget something?

1) The Coroner's van has am amber corona in the very center of the doors where the two doors meet. It is most definitely connected to the arrow stick on the rear of the van. 2) How can I modify the civilian Stanier's texture to be a solid color? I really dislike the X on the door as well as the decal residue showing as well. Thanks!

In response to your reply on my review, ESU1's <handlingid> is already set to gresley in vehicles.meta. However it says <handlingname>sadler in handling.meta? I seriously need a tutorial for modifying the .meta files. I can install cars no problem with OpenIV but modifying the .metas is what throws me for a loop. Considering that there are many different locations for the .metas rather than one big consolidated list. What a PITA! My brain hurts trying to figure this out. I have a couple other cars that I would like to change the audio on as well! Not your models, though...

I used the .OIV package file for "esu1" and it seems to work just fine.

I always love an add-on vehicle. Pretty good, like the liveries too! Back end gets a bit slippery on turns, easy to slide out in dry weather. Overall 5/5!

I realize that now. RDE also calls their mod 6th star response. Somewhat similar in name!
