...except for the grill and other parts that were not supposed to be grey, but black and the B pillars which had two different colors. The questions in that comment are rhetorical, the point I was making should be obvious - and it was to the author, who even acknowledged these issues in the next comment and fixed them. I'm still not sure what you're trying to gain from this discussion though, the car actually was updated just a few weeks later and the issues I mentioned were fixed: http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/1603-fixed-2008-ford-crown-victoria-police-interceptor-nypd/

What's your problem with pointing out inaccuracies? Don't you want modders to know how to improve their work? Also, did you notice that the comments you're quoting are 5 years old?

There is a chance, but probably not anytime soon. I'm still converting and improving the CVPI model and I'll most likely work on LA stuff first.

There's a section titled "ENV_LIGHT_ACTIVE", setting extra 7, 8 and 9 to "off" there should work.

It has been some time since I played EFLC, but as far as I remember, the default timecyc files didn't support emissive lights. You'll need to replace them, either with a modded version or the one from the default game. Back when these car were released, the current ELS version was 6, which didn't support vehicle config files and light stages. You had to activate primary and secondarly lights seperately, and for the sake of keeping the setup of the pack simple, the cars indeed don't have secondary lights. I'd recommend to edit the ELS config you're using for those cars and disable the secondary environment lights and use jump mode for light stages.

The vehicle looks good by the first look at your screenshots. However there're many things that could be improved, some of which are more or less serious. The biggest problem is a thing most people who don't create vehicle mod themselves probably won't look at, is the optimisation of the model. The polycount is huge, the L0 has 250000 polygons and is therefore 5 times as big as a typical default car. The other LODs are even worse in comparison with default cars (L1 is 13 times as big, L2 17 times and L3 33 times). The missing L4 causes the game to use the L3, which is more than 100 times larger than a default car's L4. This could have a huge impact on performance, especially if many of these cars are spawned. While it does take a lot of time and effort, it would most likely be required to create completely new LODs, as even this car's smallest LOD is twice the size of the biggest LOD of a default car. It would also be possible to improve the .ytd file as well, it's currently 7 MB with many repeating textures (mostly generic grey areas). The resolution of many textures could be decreased, most likely without noticable difference in-game. Especially the textures of some interior parts have very high resolutions. There're a few other issues I've noticed when trying the car in-game as well: The emissive parts in the interior are too bright. The taillights don't break the way you'd expect them, the glass seems to behave like a windshield. The tailights don't seem to be set up properly either, the glass should be red while the inner parts are usually chrome. It would also look more realistic if the headlights looked more like they are chrome, like in real life. The dirtmap is not mapped properly. Some material setups should be changed, for example the rims barely have any reflection. The bumper LEDs are not actually attached to the bumper and float when it's removed. The lightbar also could look better. The honeycomb on top isn't visible at all, the glass also could be slightly less transparent. The glass covering the LEDs on the other hand would probably look better if it was more transparent. Additionally, the LED modules are wrong. This mod uses the old Solaris modules, the Arjent S2, which is used on all recent vehicles, is actually supposed to have the S2 modules. I'd also recommend creating a custom sirensetting. The default settings don't really work properly for a realistic LAPD setup. Altogether, there's a lot of room for improvement, both concerning issues, other details and optimisation. I hope you take the time to read and understand my input and use it to further improve your skills and your work. Although correcting the polycount might be too much work, many of the other issues can be improved quite easily, greatly enhancing your mods' overall quality.

You can replace it with any car, to replace it with the FIB car you only need to change the name of the .wft and .wtd files to fbi.

You either haven't installed ELS or it's not configured properly.

There're a few more things in your credits that could be more precise: Most parts of the HQ dashboard are from D:SF, the seats and other interior parts look a lot like Schaefft's, the grill was modeled by KevinDV and most of the headlight modifications were part of my rework of the original version, which included many other changes as well.
