Thanks for the advice but I wouldn't have asked if there was a readme file.

For the people claiming officers should have used tasers I hear this argument over and over and over from people. There is a major disconnect between how police officers are trained to deal with situations and how the public perceives law enforcement actions. First and foremost you would NOT attempt to taser someone with a knife. What if the man lunges at you and your taser misses or is ineffective? What is the man lunges at someone else and your taser misses or is ineffective? Now you have society questioning WHY the officer didn't shoot the man before he stabbed people. When faced with potentially lethal force you RESPOND with lethal force. There is no firing warning shots, or asking really nicely. You either drop the knife or you get shot plain and simple. Normal people of reason understand this. Secondly, the general rule is most people can cover 10-20 ft in a matter of seconds. Considering the standard amount of time a police officer should be able to draw his weapon and fire is about 2.5 seconds or less. Even if you do fire in time there are only 3 ways a person can be disabled. Hydraulic failure (loss of blood causing heart to stop and organs to stop functioning etc - which usually takes a bit), CNS or central nervous system hit ie: shot to the head or spine, or the psychological impact of being shot. Assuming you miss the head or spine the person can easily shrug off the bullets and stab you or anyone else. Hopefully this raises some awareness when watching videos like this. Feel free to quote when responding to the next guy asking why an officer didn't just shoot the guy in the leg or try to use a taser.

Thank you. After reinstalling the game and a fresh copy of LCPDFR with manual install it works ok now. I'm thinking it was one of the other mods causing the issue.

I've been looking everywhere for instructions on how to install cars and its like everybody is just supposed to magically know how to do it. Fortunately I figured out how to use OpenIV but I downloaded a new pack of cars for use with ELS v8 and there are configuration files with the car pack and I have no idea where to put that. Can someone help plz? Thanks.

Hello, I am using LCPDFR with GTA IV steam version. The mod seems to install and play ok at first. I can go to a couple calls and maybe request backup and make an arrest or two but then backup stops coming. During pursuits nobody else joins, even when we blow right by another patrol car they just ignore us. If I request backup or noose nobody comes. Sometimes I might see a blue blip on the map but it just vanishes. Then after a bit longer the whole game just freezes and I have to ctrl-alt-delete out of it. I've tried to get the log but it keeps saying diagnostic tool failed and must close. -I've tried re-installing the mod multiple times (using automatic installer). -I've tried repairing the GTA IV files through steam. -I've tried restarting. -I have c++ and net framework. -All drivers are up to date. I'm currently using LCPDFR with ELS v7 and one car mod so I'm not sure what the problem could be. P.S. Is there anyway to stop random ambient events completely? Every two second something is happening around me which I think is pretty unrealistic. Also is there a way to make ambulences/fire trucks not crash through everybody making a bigger scene???
