Just curious because my anal behavior must know...is there any particular reason why the Highway Patrol Stanier does not use the same engine sounds as any other Police Stanier?

Thank you. I have also installed this last, as it was the last thing that I have added :) Great progress thus far. The "uh" was so stupid!

Excellent addition to my game, however, can you PLEASE include both audio folders with the original dispatch voice file? I initially installed the modified pitch dispatcher voice, and noticed that there were some call outs that used the original dispatcher voice. So when I downloaded your version using the original dispatcher voice, I noticed that the license plate audio files were not included. Would definitely make switching back and forth much easier. Thanks!

Terrific recreation of the old version radio! Love how certain buttons only become available when you need them and they aren't present all of the time. However, what should I do now for calling for traffic stop backup and/or K9? I should mention that 99% of the time, with the old radio version, traffic stop backup would crash LSPDFR. But now that it's gone entirely, I'm wishing that it would make a stable return. Presently, the only way to call for backup is either through the LSPDFR menu (not smart at all!) or by using the panic button through Smart Radio. Neither of which are appropriate for traffic stop backup!

I loved that older Stanier... That was correct, at least for backup.xml located within the LSPDFR folder. Was not replaced with the RDE version for some reason. However, what is the difference between the 2 backup.xml files located within the .oiv file? One is in an FBI folder and the other is not. Secondly and thirdly, where do dispatch.meta and custombackup.xml get inserted? Many thanks!

Same here. The only time I see the added cars respond is when they do so automatically, not when I call for backup manually.

Am I missing something or was the "older" version of the unmarked Stanier with the red rotating dash light left out for Sheriff? I believe it was for BCSO, not for LSSD. Other than that, I am loving the plethora of new cars that were added in 3.1! K9, different Sheriff unmarked vehicles, etc. etc. etc.!

Good! I haven't noticed the livery problem myself, although I haven't been calling ambulances or the fire department very much. I did notice at least three ambulance liveries parked outside of the hospital, and an air force fire truck at the base, however.

Just an FYI, both cars have the same wheels, with different "dressings" on top of them.

They aren't correct but the Caprice does come with plastic wheel covers for the steel wheels if you prefer that instead of the usual Police duty center caps. I assume that is what the maker was attempting to replicate.

Seems to be fine. I did run across some Highway Patrol Grangers loaded with SWAT on the highway, and some Airport Police Staniers and NOOSE Staniers near the airport. Also ran across a NOOSE Stanier and Noose Granger near the FIB and IAA buildings. Still not running across any FIB agents or FIB police, but apparently as you said they do not respond. I have not seen any driving around naturally. It would be great if there could be more AI Police Patrols driving around along with all of the other traffic in the city and in the country too. They're just too sparse!

Precisely :D

This comes directly from the readme within American Siren Pack v8.0.5 AMERICAN SIREN PACK DEFAULT SIREN TONES CURRENT VERSION : V 8.0.5 3/28/2016 THE FOLLOWING LIST SHOWS WHAT SIRENS ARE CURRENTLY INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE FOLDER.

Ignore what siren is being used and pay more attention to the file name associated with that particular vehicle. Also, make sure that your vehicles.oac file does not go over 15.7 mb, otherwise your game audio will be muted.

How about the FIB agents? I have not seen any of them spawning either.

I'll check it out. I was just assuming that they would be spawning already, but perhaps everything is OK and there isn't anything odd going on. Your installation must be very similar to mine. I haven't noticed the livery problem but I haven't spawned any fire trucks either.

I believe that the safety clicks are only heard inside, to alert the operator that the lights are still activated. It is not heard externally. You can enable or disable this feature on many new siren models too like the Smart Siren. Anything can be programmed on these new control heads. Modern technology is neat.

So I have been playing "vanilla" with RDE for quite some time today. Stars 1-3 are local police (LSPD, LSSD, BCSO, Highway Patrol, Port Police, etc.) with the occasional swat officer mixed in for the 3rd star. Star 4 is more SWAT. The occasional RIOT roadblock with ONE swat offer, unmarked Granger roadblock with ONE swat officer, and also responding RIOTS and Insurgents with multiple swat offers. No responding Grangers what so ever. Star 5 and 6 has the addition of the national guard. I am not seeing any FIB agents or NOOSE of any kind, even though I installed the Federal law add-on. I also am not experiencing any detectives or unmarked Staniers, in the city or in the counties (new or old Stanier models alike.) Is this right or is something still fubar? I might be missing more, but I am not sure what I should be experiencing or not. I deleted my mods folder as well as my scripts folder and started over fresh with RDE 3.0.1. If you want to message me privately, feel free. I am here to help and to test if necessary.

All is well! RDE working just as it should with all features as far as I can tell! Top notch!

It turns out that I did not have ScriptHookVDotNet installed, only ScriptHookV. I am currently about to begin a comprehensive reinstall with the newest RDE 3.0.1 along with both of the ScriptHooks, deleting my mods and scripts folders as well. I'm confident that should fix my problems. Many thanks for the help!

Same to you and sorry for the miscommunication and misunderstanding!

More units available, different departments added, new models, etc...............that's primarily the reason I use RDE with LSPDFR.
