I'm not entirely sure, but the grille lights look too big, the SoundOff Signal LED3's real life measurements are: 2.52" W x 1.33" H x .90" D, I can't tell for sure based on the images you uploaded but they look larger than that,

Materials can be a real hassle to set up so it happens that you get them wrong from time to time, I had to redo every material on my 2011 Charger as they were completely messed up with weird reflections.

Alright, I'll have a look later and see if it happens to me as well.

The voices are linked to the ped model. Aldererney peds seem to be the angry ones whereas the LCPD cops aren't as cross with life. As far as arresting goes, I don't have any problems with arresting people without pointing my gun at them.

There's many different ways to go about it, every police force in the western world has some kind of specialist or paramilitary unit, SWAT in the US, AFU's in the UK. Denmark has "Aktionssyrken" (The Action Force), Germany has GSG-9 on a federal level and Spezialeinsatzkommando (Special Action Unit) on state level policing. Of course there's some variations among these groups, but overall it's the same thing. The best applicable solution in my opinion in regard to special firearms in the field is the UK approach, the UK police force is unarmed, however every UK force has a specialist Armed Response Team that carries firearms ranging from regular sidearms, tasers up to G36 assault rifles. They carry their service pistols on their person while the G36's are locked in the boot of the ARV, leaving them easily accessible when needed without inhibiting the AFO's. The Norwegians do somewhat the same, their police force is unarmed, however every patrol car has two pistols stored safely in a locked compartment. The Danish Police does the same with Kevlar vests, the vests cannot be worn by officers at all times due to work safety and officer comfort, cops over here don't have the luxury of getting extensively modified police cars. Officers can't wear seatbelts when wearing vests. Backup can be more than 10 minutes away here, some times 20-30 minutes depending on various factors, however our officers does not patrol alone, all patrol cars are double-crewed, exceptions are given for traffics officers and other specialist teams whose main role isn't front line response work. These officers only carry a baton, handcuffs, pepper spray and a sidearm as use-of-force tools. Of course, comparing Denmark to the US is not possible due to the difference in our culture, but there's more to rural policing than giving them big toys. Back to the BPD, they already have SOU so I can't see why they need regular cops to carry specialist equipment, instead the BPD should look at re-purposing SOU so it can provide aid the beat cops need, in this case it's having SOU cops on patrol in each district or across districts, not only would the beat cops have specialist firearms on short response, they would also benefit from having the expertise of SOU in the field.

You need to change the textures in the materials so they use the new emerglights texture, he's how you do it I'm using Bug's unlocked Whelen 9000M strobe bar, it works with any lightbar Step 1: Here's what the lightbar looks like when you have it imported in Zmodelder, I haven't touched it at all: As you can see, there's a file called emerglightse.png, that's the one we want to change, it's probably called emerglights.png in your scene. Step 2: I'm going to copy emerglightse.png and call the new one emerglighse new, remember to add an underscore between the words: Step 3: Go back to Zmod and open your texture browser and add the new texture, it should now look like this: Step 4: Open your materials, find the material used by the lightbar, it's usually called emerglights generic, mesh or paint1, toggling the material on and off will help you find it: Step 5: We want to replace the texture layers that has emerglightse.png with our new texture, we do that by clicking on the texture name, then select the new texture in the texture browser and click add. Do this for all texture layers that has the old emerlights texture on it. It'll look like this: Step 6: The lightbar might use the texture in multiple materials, in my case it also uses emerglightse crome(mesh) and emerglighse vehglass, you'll have to repeat the steps we did with paint1 in order to replace them. This should do the job, remember to add the new emerlights texture in openIV.

I'm not really a fan of that look, I prefer the British mount >style on the roof or internally mounted, they stick out high on the top of the bar which induces drag along with looking daft. I might try it on future models though, I know FedSig has lightbar mounts with ANPR cameras attached, it pains me to even think about using FedSig tough. -
I might move the two single Avengers down to the dash and add a dual Avenger in front or the mirror, perhaps two single Avengers on either side of the mirror. -

I overhauled nearly all materials, Grayson and Dixie are now as fine as they can be for their release tomorrow or Jan 1st. -
Would it be better if I added a dual Avenger in front of the rear-view mirror?

I remember seeing the skin in the >download section a while ago.

I reckon I made the corner modules too wide, the rest of the bar is as it should be. I'll fix that for the release version, thanks. It's a bit different than what Bugs did, Sams idea is to add the textures needed for the cameras on the skin itself. Personally I'd rather release two versions of the model than do some skin wizardry. -
It's funny you mention the lightbar, I customized PFC's Liberty using a LIN6 module from EVI's Liberty seeing as his Liberty is too narrow, it can't fit six proper sized LIN6's next to each other. I'm not entirely sure if mine's too wide, I had to guesstimate the size from various images, it looks pretty spot on when you compare it to this image, but it's definitely too wide if you compare it to this, that looks like an older Liberty though as it has strobe corner modules. 500 5mm LED modules and TIR6 LED modules.

Netcode seems to be a regional issue, I haven't experienced any excessive netcode errors on EU servers. Generally I quite like BF4 even though it has its flaws, the game shouldn't have been released as early as it was nor should they release for 5 different platforms at the same time, it's just a recipe for disaster. There's nothing wrong with gameplay though, it's a lot of fun online with non-stop balls-to-the-wall action and cool explosions everywhere.

It hasn't changed much, they will use taser if you haven't authorized lethal force and the suspect is unarmed, they will go lethal if you authorize lethal force or the suspect pulls a gun out . They won't go LAPD on Korean women if the suspect pulls a gun out, but they will be ready to shoot if the suspect takes aim. In all, very much like 0.95 only more polished.

Already did that:)
