Ok thank you and thanks to all who replied. Hoping everything goes well with the upload and downloads of this up and coming update! Can't wait to see everyone's reactions, screen shots etc! Should be amazing!

Great! Thanks! Now does RPH need an update? Don't want to install everything and have Rage not work.

Great news and awesome work Team. Couple questions... 1.) Will I be able to continue using 0.3 even after the release? And the scripts and plugins that work with it? I am already VERY satisfied and extremely overwhelmed with the current setup I have going for 0.3 and the additions to this incredible mod as it is (will absolutely check out 0.4 at some point. It sounds amazing.) 2.) Will Vocal Dispatch be obsolete with 0.4? And if so, I will be absolutely crushed. To have eliminated all but a couple key strokes and to be possibly going back to a full keyboard of keystrokes or more will be very inefficient and bring down the simulated and immersion factor a lot. Just keying up the mic (Bluetooth mic, single around the ear unit) to ask for additional, fire/ems, pit request etc was a huge relief from all the key strokes and memorizing of and brought new life to this "game". Other than that, congrats on your work and I can't wait for the release and your future work with this all.

A nicely, well written and thought out post. But you're still defending something that has no place in this thread and you're 100% wrong. These developers owe you, I nor others ANY reasoning behind their choice of the way they release teasers for their POSSIBLE release of an update to their mod. Notice I said possible. No other "discussion" should be going on except what is being displayed for the POSSIBLE update or requests to be added to the next POSSIBLE update. There is no need for anyone to pass judgment or to criticize how developers (especially of a FREE and EXTREMELY well done mod) choose to show off their WIP on a POSSIBLE update to their already incredible work. I'm sure they have families, jobs and lives outside of creating all this. Maybe they wanted to show off their current WIP and it may be another year before it's 99% or close enough for a release. Fact is, these guys can release teasers for the next 5 years and not release a damn thing to you all for ANY reason at all and one being because they don't feel like it. They chose to share their work early and kept us "fed" over time while they continue to work behind the scenes. FOR FREE!! To be "loosing interest" or whining about the way teasers were brought out, or even the length of time it takes to update this FREE mod is so disgusting and disrespectful! Unless you have a hand in all this, whether it be time spent coding and developing or financially, you all need to accept what may or may NOT be released. Or at a time frame you all feel is acceptable. *rides off on horse*

I'm going to assume some of the recent posts made by those wanting release dates or wanting the update released some time soon (ASAP) were or are being made by children. And possibly grown children who don't know the value of a $1. One of the reasons Albo is leaving this scene is because of the kind of recent posts in this thread and the incredible amount of spoiled, take for granted, unappreciative people that are out there. First of all lets look at it from the first factor which is the people who created this MOD, not game, MOD. They learned how to work with code and whatever else to be able to work with GTA and create this incredible ADDITION to this GAME. So that took time out of their lives to learn first of all. Secondly, those that learned coding chose to use that knowledge to create this MOD AND PLUGINS for us all who are extremely interested in Law Enforcement or who are wanna be LEO's and released all of this for us to enjoy for.... FREE!! I won't make this post more of a soap box post than it could freakin be but you all need to calm the **** down and APPRECIATE that we have something like this. Those of you squirming in your filthy computer chairs whining about this or that have gotten too comfortable with this mod and everything that is offered. If you can't enjoy what has already been created then you are either doing it wrong, need to step away from the computer for a while and do something else or.... DEVELOP YOUR OWN ****!

I just mentioned in the other thread that I wish the suspects were a bit more creative and violent and tried to do something other than act like spaced out AI. What a nice surprise and nice update to what's in store. Seems I've stumbled upon this at the right time. Thanks for your work on this everyone! Quick question. Please... PLEASE find a way to develop or pick up where the creator of Vocal Dispatch left off. Instead of having to hit a key to update dispatch like you are describing, make it more in depth like it is with Vocal Dispatch! Telling dispatch I'm 10-41 and 10-8 and having her respond copy that "officer so and so" is so damn awesome! Not to mention asking for code 2 or 3 backup, air support, swat, tow truck, coroner, EMS etc! I just wish she would say 10-4 or copy when giving my 20 or just giving a 10-4 when updating through out the call. I really wish the developer would come back to keep working on it. It has SO DAMN MUCH POTENTIAL! Anyway, amazing work guys!

I'd like to see more action from the suspects. 90% of the time they just give up. I want more foot chases and more possibility of them running in their car. I want more of them to be armed with a chance of them firing at us. Depending on the call out, its just routine stop, question, RSBT, or if ordered out of the car especially with a warrant they don't do anything to get away lol.

I thought I had did something wrong! I seen this crappy station wagon looking thing with an air scoop on it pull up to the scene and was like great, I just installed everything and I can't imagine what made it change to this! I lol'd but I also hope it changes back at some point lol.

Ok thanks. Going to give it a go with the installation of stuff and see what works and doesn't. 100% clean GTA V folder. (Not a reinstall of GTA V, just cleared out, mod folder and all.)

I'm left wondering if ALL the mods need to be updated to work with the new Script Hook V. Also Script Hook V Dot Net needs to be updated as well I believe. This recent update by Rockstar just SCREWED, everything, royally! It may be a month or more before the dust settles!

Oh boy. So with the release of a new Script Hook, does that mean ALL the mods need to be updated to work with the new Script Hook? This is really disheartening.

I know you guys are tired of the Script Hook threads but I was just wondering if the person who updated V today is the same one who will update V Dot Net as well? Also does V Dot Net need to be updated or is it good to go? Thanks.

Man this kills everything. Even the mods have to be updated to work with the new Rage and ScriptHook. Guess I'm going back to a clean folder and playing GTA V on it's own for a while. What an extremely depressing moment with this. Thanks for the reply JJ.

Game doesn't do too bad with my GTX670. Everything on high or ultra except for textures and shadows. I REALLY want to get a newer card. So many newer gen's of cards have been released since I built mine. A lot of beautiful shots here ladies (if there are any lol) and gents. :)

So Rage came back up and now we're waiting for ScriptHook. My question is are we waiting for BOTH V and VDotNet to be updated? Thanks. Sorry of this is the wrong section.

I understand. And that's unfortunate you have that view on the mods offered. I guess you don't have too beefy of a computer to handle multiple mods? Mine isn't all that great and I've got quite a few things running with minimal problems. I do wish everyone had decent hardware because it becomes so amazing and immersive with certain add-ons. As far as the crashes. After having done multiple installs of LSPDFR, working with the mods folder and installs of cars, plugins etc I have minimal crashing if any at all now. I feel there is a certain process to install this stuff. Like starting with LSPDFR, and then going down the priority list. LSPDFR+, Computer+, Arrest Manager, Traffic Policer, Better EMS, Police Smart Radio, ALPR+ etc etc. And then starting the sim each time you install to make sure it loads and works. Like layering from important to the "fun stuff" lol. Anyway, we all run it how we see fit. Hopefully they make some changes to better immerse you into your version of LSPDFR. :)

Vocal Dispatch is what you are looking for. Serious. It has all but eliminated the keyboard for 99% of the key strokes. The only thing I use the keyboard for is ELS, F6 for scene management and then Ctrl+H to arrest someone if I haven't put them on the ground with my weapon drawn. I can request a plate check, ped check, update my status etc all with the press of Right Alt. Tow truck, coroner, EMS, fire etc ALL work flawlessly with all of Albos mods installed. Like Police Radio etc. There are times where dispatch can't understand what's said, even though I have gone through many steps to improve the ability for it to understand my speech but it gets smarter the more you use Speech Recognition in Windows. Also it helps to have a good headset that makes your speech crisp and clear. It has changed this from a keyboard game to an almost serious Police Sim. Can't imagine going back to all those key strokes. As for the recent update to what's coming. This is incredible work. I think Rockstar and the gang should look at you guys to possibly make a Police Simulator. With resources to do it right where ALL of this stuff is built into the sim and to run efficiently. The irony is it's a game based on being the bad guy. But you have good guys, doing a sort of "illegal" modification, to create a good guy version of the game lol. I am content on using what I have now as a setup and am overwhelmed with all the different options. I have a couple favorite ELS cars, I use the LSPD K-9 uniform, Vocal Dispatch and some callouts with a graphic and weapon audio enhancer/upgrade. I am so fortunate to have come across this stuff and to be a part of an awesome and evolving modification. Can't wait to see what comes from for your selfless and dedicated work on this! Thanks!

Not sure if this is possible but is there anyway someone could make a script/plugin or could you guys add an option to turn down/up the dispatch audio. It seems to be separate from the audio controls in game. Was thinking of this while at work today. This would be HUGE. Thanks.

Sorry what I meant by "cleaning up" is not having or allowing so many mods to be submitted that aren't worthy ( I say that with as much respect as possible) so that there is less "clutter" in a way. The sorting works very well, it's just that there is so much to choose from it's overwhelming and certainly is for first timers. I wish there was a best of the best section for xCar Model, or xUniform or xwhat have you. And then the rest can have their own section if people choose to download and try them. Not trying to bash peoples efforts AT ALL or tell you guys how to run your website. Please don't take it that way. You do sort of have that in a way, which is the essential mods section. And yes I hear you about the INI's. The reason I bring that up is because in order to submit a mod on a website called Blackhole Motorsports (long gone) you had to have your README'S in order or else you couldn't submit it or in the least it would be deleted until it was properly edited. That's ok, for the most part they are quite easy to follow, once you get used to the frequent "paths" needed to install cars, textures etc. And thank you for the info about being able to stop a suspect or ped in question.

I'm not sure if it's because of the files I have installed but I too have to find a workaround to be able to "stop" someone. What I've found is I have to walk away a certain distance and come back to the ped I'm wanting to stop and question. Then the ability to press E and stop them comes back. Even though there is no conflicts, adding all these files really messes with LSPDFR. EUP is actually very easy to install and use. I was EXTREMELY terrified of "working with the tool' needed to do all this but it really is very simple as drag/drop/replace. But remember to use a mods folder so you can quickly "start over". I'm not sure what's not allowed to be discussed or names that can't be mentioned so I'm keeping it toned down.
