  1. I just wanted to give my sincere thank you to everyone in this fine community...especially those here who have developed mods and continue to develop and improve mods for LSPDFR. Yes I have said this in a separate post shortly after I joined the community. Why do I feel the need to say it again? For one, because I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work. However, there is a much deeper and more personal reason for this post. 

    just a short 6 months ago I got back into PC gaming, and instantly became fascinated with LSPDFR. GTA V is by far my favorite game. The addition of LSPDFR, and all that goes with it has turned a great game in a never ending world I can use to fuel my hobby of making gaming videos, to escape to for stress relief after a rough day, and to customize my GTA V experience into something as unique and individual as I am. At the time, my life had taken a great turn for the better after enduring more than a decade of some of the craziest, most insane things for someone to live through. I suffered through depression, self doubt, and in fact several time I came close to just ending it all. But I survived, and came through it stronger and a better man for it all. 

    Everything was looking up, and things had improved greatly. I was no longer a slave to my thought and emotions, no longer held down by the struggle of life. I had beaten down severe depression and came out the other side victorious. I had turned a seasonal job into a career, began working to become an auxiliary officer with my local PD and there is no need to say I was feeling extremely blessed, proud of myself and proud of my accomplishments. I no longer hated the man in the mirror. Things were great and I felt once again like superman. 

    Recently, I had gotten really sick. The doctor said it was a viral respiratory infection (something I have had several times in my life), but something was not right. It was not the same this time it was different. Then began the tests, blood work, mri's and more. Health issues began adding up, the more they looked to try and figure out things, the worse the news got. two weeks ago, I was told that I am facing cancer. Granted I do not have cancer yet, but just like the perfect conditions to spawn an f5 tornado, so it is with my potential cancer. Any time now, it could hit and hit hard and fast.

    45 years old and staring down cancer....F#$% Me. 

    As the last two weeks have progressed, it has become apparent that something is seriously wrong here. my energy levels have dropped significantly, I m find myself ever tired, constant headaches and muscle aches. I am not currently fit for duty with my local PD  so that is on hold. I have had to step down from the manager position I worked so very hard to achieve. I find I have more and more days spent home recovering from a treatment or testing, etc. I lose sleep wondering how I will handle everything for my family and my job. Id be lying if I disagreed that life has turned a slightly darker shade of grey. Dont get me wrong here, I am blessed and happy to be alive. I have a great wife and kids, Some great friends in the department, amazing employers and co workers and the few brothers in my gaming crew who are so supportive and help keep my spirits up as I move forward through this newest life trial. I am in no way whining or feeling sorry for myself. I am not seeking sympathy or heavy hearts. I am happy for every day I get to live, love and laugh. 

    Why am I sharing this on a modding forum? because I wanted to express my gratitude to the mod developers for creating something I can immerse myself in to forget these issues and continue to enjoy life on my worst of days. You mods and scripts give me something very enjoyable and constructive to do with my recovery/downtime and idle hands. It helps me relax and stress less over what I am facing. 

    Sam, LMS, Albo, Buggs, Virzza, Finkone, Stray, Hurk, Alex, Stealth22, Gravel road cop;  I literally could make a list of these guys a mile long here and probably still not cover every who contributes so unselfishly to this community. Thank you all from the bottom of my old rebel heart for what you do. All the long hours, hard work and seemingly endless energy to continually develop and update these mods so guys like me can enjoy them. You never expect a dime for it. You are all class acts in my book. I thank you guys in my videos frequently.. not because I am trying to be something I am not, or give the internet a false identity rather because I just a normal down to earth country boy truly am in awe and words are insufficient to accurately portray my gratitude. 

    I thank you graciously for reading the book I have written here. I hope this post will serve as an example and testament of how awesome this community is. I will continue to support this community with every once of energy I can muster, and spread the word about the mods you all create and this great community here. 

    Thank You, Thank You. Thank You.

    I have the 1998 center caps on mine. One of them flew off a few months ago, however. You might want to add some adhesive to the caps to make them a bit tighter. Other than that, I'd recommend the full on hubcaps. Which if I lose another cap, I'll probably end up sticking my 05' ones back on until I buy some 06' caps.

    That is definitely an issue with those. There are the collared lug nuts, but those do not work well.

    "Good idea Ford, poor execution."

    I am developing a solution to improve on the collar design, that works in conjunction with a center lip retention system. 

  3. +1. Happened in my episode today. I watched one of FInkone's latest vids and he had the same issue. He thought it was safer chases causing it, but I did not have that mod installed and got the same issue. It's comical in a way, But none the less, kind of annoying...a little.

    Got RID of their fleet? Those cold bastards.

    This. Don't worry Lundy. In about a month, my CVPi will be back home and I will start a whole YT series on bringing her out of retirement and loading her up with cool gear. She shall be back in service once again. Part daily driver, part Auxiliary unit when I need to pull support shifts with my local PD and part show car in tribute to my Dad, who was a long time LEO. It is gonna be a fun series to film and to watch if you have an affinity for the CVPI. Here's the pic that got me to drive 500 miles to snag her up:

  5. check out http://ragepluginhook.net/

    I am on steam, 617 and the latest rage available is working fine for me. There are instructions for downgrading as long as you haven't used RPH to back up your game files. 

    I myself had an issue where RPH showed my version as 573 even though I was 671. Everything would start loading and then crash the game. After having steam verify my files, turns out I was missing a couple files somehow. Once I got that handled the latest RPH worked for me, as did LSPDFR and all my mods.  

    Personally, I keep Vanilla and LSPDFR copy backups for almost every version of GTA V. This will work in a pinch, but only in offline mode. Eventually steam will try and update those too if I am connected as "Online." 

    Personal things aside, I hope this helps man. It can be frustrating when all you wanna do is go on patrol.

    That's what he wants though, it would be better to completely ignore the situation and act like nothing happened. He's trying to make a scene.

    Agreed. Sounds like another "Mommy and Daddy didn't love me enough, so I'm going to try and make everyone else as miserable as I am for attention" kinda guy. Ignore him and don't give him any attention. 

    On a related note, that sucks to hear. Jeff is a helluva nice guy. Glad it is getting hammered out. 

  7. Please excuse the intermittent spelling and grammatical errors.  I'm quite tired lol. Between running a Power Equipment Dealership, taking care of my Wife and Kids and trying to carve out sufficient time to get my website and YT channel up and running, plus all the testing, ini configuration and such to get all of my mods working flawlessly together, I'm stretched pretty thin, burning the candle at both ends, etc. Still getting used to managing mods and still learning the intricacies of Sony Vegas. 

    Y'all have a good night. Took tomorrow off to focus on getting some videos done so my channel doesn't resemble a ghost town. Hopefully all will work out well. 

     

    For now, it's some much needed and well deserved rest. Till next time! 

     

  8. What's up Boys and Girls? Hope all is well with everyone today. First, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Adam, but I am better know by my friends, family, and (the few & Proud) fans, as Budda (pronounced BOO DUH LOL!)  Odd nickname, probably, but it was given to me years ago by some fans of one of my old metal bands, and just stuck. Recently, I have gotten back in PC gaming after ten years of having my head up console gaming's a** and I am having a blast. So much so I have been inspired to begin teaching myself to learn how to code. That being said, I want to acknowledge all of the insanely hard work and long hours all of the mod authors have constantly put in just to share their hard work with us (for free) so we can enjoy LSPDFR, and all of the cool things we can do with these mods. All they ever ask for is continued support and if users are so inclined, donations as a way of helping pay all of this forward and show more appreciation for their efforts. 


    LMS, Sam, Albo, Finkone, Policesco, F5544, Repo Studios, Alex, so many more I can't think of at the moment -  man the list is long and distinguished...Words cannot accurately describe how awesome all of these guys on here are. Then there are those of us who simply enjoy the mods, give feedback, share ideas, create highly entertaining content on youtube, etc. All of the above has seemingly created a circular community that has picked up strong perpetual motion with no signs of slowing down nor going away. In my efforts to become a YouTuber of sorts, and begin to share my audio and video talents following in the footsteps of guys like Jeff Favignano  Buggs, Zach Houseknect, First Thirty Minutes (again the list goes on, and I am aware that those I have listed above has only scratched the surface) and so many others,  You've all been really cool and reached back. In all of the years I spent being a member of some of the greatest musician and guitar forum communities and how welcome I was made to feel, All of that PALES in comparison to the brotherhood and camaraderie I have experienced here, and its only been about a month or so. 

    Thanks for allowing me to slowly become part of this community and thanks for all the great content, the mods, textures, Freaking everything! I for one am in awe of how hard you guys work, and it inspires me to work harder at what I want to do and reach the goals I have laid out for myself. I may be just a new frog in a big pond that started forming Way back with LCPDFR, but The boat is a sailing strong and I am glad to be on board for the ride. 

    SO, all of that being said, Feel free to reach out and say hi. I am always honored to meet other gamers and share information, ideas and network to make this whole monster stronger  and better. I will always be happy to take time out of my day to help where I can, even if it is just to get a drink or a meal with local gamers here in Georgia, or playing games online with people around this small globe and we're riding together. Thanks again everyone. I am really happy to have found LSPDFR and the related community. Quite possibly the best gaming mod out there  for what it probably my favorite game of any I have ever played. 

    You'll be hearing much more from me  as things develop in my neck of the woods....Peace and Chicken Grease. 

    Budda Out!
