Installation Super Easy Coding Effort Love the effort that went into creating this light weight plugin. I've said it once, and I'll keep saying, gotta respect people who use their free time to help others enjoy their free time as well. Experience When you hear about "quality of life" features. This one is it. It may not seem like much on the outside but once you've used this plugin, it's a fair bet to say you'll never go without it. At least for me. I've been out of LSPDFR for a while and when I came back, I knew this plugin was an essential download too! Very nice work making this plugin @murtoo! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Installation Installing this mod takes just a bit of patience; however, the instructions are clear to follow. That's a major plus when it comes to a complex mod such as this. The Programming Effort Involved Oh, my. Oh, my oh my is what runs through my mind when using this mod. I've said this once, and I'll keep saying, especially here. The amount of work people put into developing their projects for this mod is amazing. This plugin tells impossible to step aside. To give a LSPDFR player a home, a job, places to eat, shop, and do things that bring the city of Los Santos to life. Rockstar didn't even bother with some of these things. That is an impressive effort on the programming front. Much kudos there. Experience The phrase, "It takes a village..." comes to mind. It took a village of dedicated programmers, artists, audio engineers, etc. To add their own flavor to this mod which makes it great. LSDPFR Expanded fearlessly ventured into the unknown, and added a truly uniquely experience that brought an unparalleled level of immersion to this mod. To not just police a city but then to make the player feel as if they are living in that city as well. The initial release of this mod was impressive. But the updates? Again, oh my, oh my, oh my. Daily briefings? Reports? Manning the desk? Processing the Suspects! What? Seriously, what!? Impressive. Why Five Stars Despite Jankiness? Blazing trails is never easy. We can't expect people like RickyVasco to give us a paved highway when they're actively hacking away at branches, clearing obstacles, and venturing into territory Rockstar didn't want them to be in. It's going to be rough. Meaning, there are moments when GTA V does GTA V things. Not to mention that these plugins are being made on what little time people have to spare. I'm willing to deal with a few bugs because I know Ricky will fix those problems eventually. So yeah, all in all, five stars. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if there were a feature, in a distant future update, where you actually had to deal with a supervisor and explain why you shot a suspect! This is a good plugin to try out. Just carefully read the instructions.

This mod gets a five star rating for the following reasons: Easy to Install That's always a plus when developers have easy to install instructions. The Sheer Amount of Effort I admire the level of work that went into developing something from real life and placing into a game that had no intentions of being modded at all. As in developers didn't make it easy for this game to be modded. And making mods/plugins for it simply amaze me. The amount of coding that went to the projectile, the model, the scripts to make it work, and to where it won't bog down a computer will always be commended. Especially with this plugin. Experience It's a blast using this plugin. The fact you can tag a car, roll on somewhere else, and then come back and capture the suspect is awesome! This plugin is simply a game changer for how high speed chases are done - considering which callout pack generated them of course. Dare I say this mod should be included in someone's essential mod list.

I LOVE the concept of this. I'll be following the development of this plugin. It's brilliant. Does it work like the speed limiter in Mafia? A press of the button and the limit is set/or released? Great job creating this and thank you for sharing it with us!

I fixed it. Added a white background to your livery. It looks good now. You did a solid job on it.

the livery is transparent ... at least for me. What could be going wrong here?

Prepare for a WILD ride this show doesn't pull punches, and it always keeps you on your toes. I love the pacing of it, the character development, the action, etc. Faces do change but the energy of the show stays the same (if that makes sense)

@unitedOrange66 is right ... there is no solid answer for which is better. And I've used both of these of outstanding plugins. There's some things about STP that I like, but there's also some things about Arrest Manager that I like i.e. arresting five people and having one vehicle show up to pick them up!

This mod rules and I can't wait to see what updates you have planned for it. Love the drive through option too so the character can get something to eat.

Just wondering. Did anyone have green lights on the Crown Vic ... I might have messed up something up because it's been A LONG time since I added cars. (just finished updating everything)

Nope. Started using backup AI. Also, I'm so sorry it me this long to answer your question. I've been busy and hardly check these forums like I need to.

Is anyone else seeing little white boxes on top of their police car after using ALPR cameras? I'm trying to figure out how to remove them when that happens.

No problem! You're doing a great job and I look forward to seeing what you'll do next. Also, is it possible to increase the rate of speed that it takes to scan targets?

I'm noticing a weird sound effect playing on a continual loop after leaving scanning mode on the helicopter.

I'm still having a blast with the plugin. I have noticed that the cellphone tends to get stuck; however, I also read in your documentation that script heavy mods could be a problem for this. At the time I experienced the bugs I had Maniac Callouts running. I think, sense it creates a lot of ambient events, it could have caused the cellphone to work improperly. I also try to not to activate the phone more than a few times as well. I'm also heavily enjoying the ability to do patrols from the air. What you have done with that is awesome. I've read about what you said in regards to the "trace line" being sued for the scanning method. I'm curious. Could it be possible to increase the speed the script runs or perhaps set a way in the ini how fast scans, searches, and call cancellations take place? Could it also be possible to increase the speed at which the camera moves around? Just wondering, could there be a way to automatically deactivate the camera in the event someone exit's the aircraft .. accidentally? Funny story that. I pressed the 'F' key instead of hitting the proper directional key. So while I was looking for a criminal, I hear a scream followed by a crash. I started to move the camera to see what happened only to find the words "wasted" plastered across the camera's crosshairs. 🙂 I had a good laugh with that one.
