Remember all those times I moped around saying that I couldn't play GTA V? Well, as of earlier this morning, I now have a working - and moddable - copy of GTA V on Steam!
 
Now I have realised a few issues - my computer, which I bought specifically to handle GTA V at it's best nearly two years ago, can't run GTA V at top spec. Unfortunately, that means my screenshots aren't going to come out the best. But that's the best I can do at around about £700 worth of computer.
 
Also, I've got no mods installed. I'm working on that - I'm taking GTA V all the way back to lore-friendly 1992. I've just got to get some good mods together - anyone got a list of lore-friendly civ cars I can add in?
 
And also, I haven't really got my screenshot funk on yet. I'm working on getting screenshots properly set up, but I need to get used to these new key bindings. And also, I need to swap out the trainer for the Menyoo trainer. And don't worry, I'm not stepping foot into multiplayer.
 
I'm not abandoning GTA IV, though, I've still got stuff to do there. So stick around for a bit - it's going to be a while before I properly get going for GTA V.

Ah, now let's get serious. I've got an ambulance and a police car installed. Let's get to it!
 
South Los Santos, 1992. The Ballas have taken over Grove Street, and the main players of the Grove Street Families are either exiled, dead or missing. Gang violence and class divides are rife across the city. And the LSPD? Corrupt. It's only a hair-trigger away from a riot...

Coming soon to an FDLC battalion near you. If you have the truck, that is.

In a West end town a dead end world, The East End boys and West End girls,
West End girls...West End girls.

Before Express Car Service was bought out by a certain Eastern European with a gambling addiction, the small-time cab company operated a small fleet of by-call cabs. In 1998, however, legislation by the Liberty State Legislature ruled that non-TLC cabs could not be painted yellow, or carry roof signs. The sheer drop of customers because of this severely weakened the company, as was the sad tale of many fallen cab companies, and their value dropped to the extent where it was sold for $50 in 2004.

In a pursuit on October 8th 2016, an Uber was stolen by an angry LCC taxi driver. The LCPD, however, brought the pursuit to an end in minutes, driving the suspect into the car park, and watching as he slammed into the wall.
 
And yes! I have a new save game in the making set in 2016! Expect more modern-looking screenshots.

Bohan had, and allegedly still has the highest amount of crime in the city and state of Liberty. But between the 1970s to the late 1990s, it was at it's worst.
 
Burnt-out cars, for example, were a weekly staple of commutes. The LCPD sometimes didn't even bother with clearing them from the streets - they just sat there to rot, forcing drivers to manoeuvre around them until the LCPD finally brought the trucks down.
In reality, I'm glad that the vehicle was destroyed with no deformations. Now that is luck right there.

ThatOneHick made a Marbelle. It looked nice, but it just wasn't flush with the rest of the LCPD fleet. So I'm redoing his livery. Expect a release soon.

Fresh and cleaned up from the mayor's push to make Liberty City safe again, Star Junction had turned from a seedy den of deviance to a tourist haven. But some claim the heart of the Worst Place in America has been torn out.

Welcome to the 1984 save file! Currently under construction, which explains the major lack of detail and NPC vehicles. It's the slow period on GTAInside now.
 
A fatal crash between a Warrener and an Emperor leaves the unnamed highway heading towards Plumber's Skyway closed in one lane. The Esperanto here was close to the accident site, and was the first on scene.
 
Someone make a good 80s lore-friendly ambulance.

And of course, the inevitable. Someone hiring out a Dashound gets stuck on the Northwood Heights Bridge kerb when they tried to dodge the traffic mess. While an LCPD officer laughs away to himself, the driver looks like he's one false move away from a suspended license.

Yes, you heard that...or read that right, using the recently-released Random License Plate Mod, I am making British plate variations for most cars! It's still a WIP, but it's very close to completion, just need to sort out some specs I didn't realise I needed until the last minute.
 
It's really fascinating how many pre-51 reg cars there are in GTA IV. Plates will include the AA00 AAA, A000 AAA, AAA 000A and even two instances of the AAA 000 plate format!
 
Stay tuned for updates.

It's been sixteen years since 9/11, and what a long sixteen years it has been, too. To think that the Middle East is back in turmoil after all of the 'work' that was done is disheartening.
 
But on September the 11th, 2001, 343 firemen, including FDNY Chief of Department Peter J. Ganci Jr., were murdered in an unspeakable, shocking act of terror that not only was confined to New York, but Washington DC, and the small town of Shanksville, PA. The world has changed a lot since then.
 
At 1:46PM, I will observe a two minute's silence, if possible. I do this every year, as the tragedy struck close to my heart. While the video-watching is down, and the books have not been read this year, I won't forget, and WE WILL NEVER FORGET.

At around 11PM on a September night, the Greater Liberty Police received a series of 999 calls pertaining to an apparent 'chemical attack' in the Bahama Mamas club in Algonquin. Immediately, all three emergency agencies in the city were rushed to the scene. The perpetrator, who had an apparent grudge against the club owner, was found trying to escape to the airport, and was arrested by GLP Tactical Firearms Team officers the next morning.

Duty on the Golden Pier is mind-numbingly boring - sit around in your van, tell where lost people need to go, nab some shoplifters, and watch other people have fun. Oh, the joys of austerity-ridden policing.

Off the back of one of our more...peculiar screenshotters, here's a Munich Police and Bundespolizei Stanier (or as he once referred to it as, a Wartburg (?)). Thinking about putting this up soon, but I'm not sure when.
 
Oh, and this screenshots gallery isn't dead. I've just got to finish up 'Operation: Ashahara' first. It's best not to leave this gallery in the dark, though.

And so, normal services are resumed.
 
The early eighties weren't a great time for Liberty City. Still holding onto the title of 'Worst Place in America', a title it would not let go of until the 90s, it was fairly common to see cars dumped in the streets, or wherever seemed humanly possible. On the Westdyke Beach, for example, a Vigero and an Oceanic had been dumped for little over six months, and while it may not look like it, the tide has taken its toll on both of them, especially the Vigero, and they had all been gutted for parts.
 
A few days later, they were set alight.

Midnight falls on the A139. Rain pours down on the city, and people begin to slip and slide down on the notoriously-accident-prone Alderney City exit of the A139. And as accidents begin to occur, modified, high-power, and high-visibility Vincents from the GLP Motorway unit skids out of their parking spots along the 'Skyway' to respond to the accident sites as fast as possible to try and secure the scene and potentially save some lives.

A fond pastime of mine before I got into screenshotting was throwing molotovs everywhere, sending in riot vans, and smashing up cars, calling it a riot. Here, in London, a neighbourhood disturbance in the run-down Beechwood City area results in a violent conflict with the Met Police, involving some pensioner's Ingot being smashed up and burned to the ground.

1996 may had been the roughest winter in Liberty City for years, but at least it made for some beautiful pictures. The LCPD were accredited for their hard work, alongside the DoT, for helping Liberty City run as smoothly as possible, in the face of the hundreds of accidents that were occuring. But even they, sometimes, couldn't even manage to drive without spinning out.
 
(Here's the link, if you're interested, for the snow mod. Be warned though, it is a big download.)

Libel, Liberty City's key electricity maintenance team, have got a job to do almost every day, thanks to Liberty City's slightly-outdated power grid. It is rumoured, however, that their vans seem to always be watching certain people in the city. Some say they even travel in packs...
 
(the phone number has since been removed, I could not get a template)

Every winter, the LCPD ESU team hand out their Ranchers to almost every division in Liberty City, sending out most of their stock to traffic and highway patrol divisions. They prove very useful to tackle the treacherous road conditions, beating the Staniers and Premiers of the standard LCPD fleet. Here, at midnight, an LCPD officer sits around, awaiting activity, by the East Borough Bridge, having been granted the keys to one of the Ranchers. Half an hour later, he gets called to technically the first accident of the day on the bridge.

Even driving a little too fast can cause a serious accident in the snow. Here, two LCPD officers narrowly escaped death when their Premier RMP slipped onto some ice, flipped, and fell over on the Broker-Dukes Expressway. While the car was totalled, the two officers were glad to have escaped with their lives, and got out of CHMC a few weeks later.
 
Following this accident, a road safety awareness campaign was set up in Liberty City. While it may not look like it, it is still going strong today.

Another Christmas, another few nights of kicking out the rowdy drunks. It's a job every officer hates to do, especially in a precinct where it is almost impossible to reverse in the snow, and with no funding for the LCPD choir, the bells certainly won't be ringing out in Liberty City.

Okay, its a bit of a divergence from the current theme, but everything has to stop. The Merit Classic by GCT is out! Prepare to see this in fleet form very soon!
 
Here, at the LCPD Workshops in Algonquin, multiple 1983 Declasse Merit Classics were seen parked up in the lot, ready for their police conversion. Following an evaluation upstate, the Commissioner guaranteed that this would be a huge hit with police forces across the United States.
