I've been playing LSPDFR for about a week, and I've noticed that even before I installed any plugins, randomly, yet commonly, there's sometimes small red dots on the minimap that are always a dark brown / black Imponte Phoenix or a dark red / black Buffalo S. If I get near these cars it'll prompt that I'm "Joining" something, and when the bar fills up then suddenly the car in question speeds off and I'm put into a chase with them. The strange thing is that if I manage to stop them, Its ALWAYS just a driver, ALWAYS the same female Chamberlain Families-esque model, and I'm NEVER able to perform a takedown to begin arresting them. I either have to just kill them, or call backup and hope they get close enough to perform a takedown for me. I find this annoying. I've been on the way to a different call before and all of a sudden it throws me into a chase because one of these cars were at a red light with me. Technically I could ignore it, but if I do, either it gives me the notification that there's 1 outstanding suspect, or pursuit backup manages to keep visual and I keep getting radio updates from dispatch / backup on the situation (that I didn't want to be in in the FIRST place) Is there a way to turn these off?

Nevermind... Forgot a file I thought I already had. 😅

I recently installed the 2017 California Highway Patrol Mega Pack alongside ELS, and after screwing with my files for 30 minutes I think i got it to work? Somewhat? I can spawn the new models with my trainer, I can choose them inside of LSPDFR's garage system, and they even spawn naturally outside of police stations, but ELS only flashes the brake lights when I flick my sirens on for any of them. Would anybody happen to know why? EDIT like, 10 minutes later : After screwing with it for a little bit I'm confused as to if ELS is even active. I removed an ELS .xml file for a police SUV called "fbi2", restarted my game, spawned "fbi2", and its lights behaved exactly the same. But I installed ELS's files exactly as the instructions told me, directly into the GTA directory, with an ASI loader. And the .xml files into its "pack_default" folder" 😞

Did you install an ELS-friendly vehicle as well? I don't think it works with any of the base game EMS vehicles unfortunately. This guide does a pretty decent job at generally explaining how to install new vehicle mods.

Sorry about the HUD, but I was afraid this perfect scene would despawn if I didn't take the screenshot IMMEDIATELY

The first one I encountered i'm gonna nickname the "Infinite Call", inwhich the call you're on never seems to stop. I accepted a call of a pursit of an armed suspect. Went to the place, (behind Fleeca Bank on Chumash, if that helps) ran in and died instantly. I respawned and used the "GotoPD" command in RAGE, and all of the police there were in a "I'm gonna shoot something" stance, and the red dot of the suspect was still on my minimap. I could still arrest people and perform traffic stops, although I wasn't getting anymore calls. I'm sure you could still go to the pursit and finish the call, but that's kinda annoying. I fixed the bug by going off, then back on duty. The second one i'm gonna nickname "Arrest Softlock", inwhich you become frozen, and can't move while arresting someone. I accepted a call of a Grand Theft Auto, made the suspect(s) crash, and was able to cuff one. I went to cuff the other, but the other 20 or so police began to shoot him while I was in the process of arresting him. He died while I was getting him up, and I froze. All form of movement was locked. I fixed the bug by putting in the "GotoPD" command in RAGE.
