Sorry to bring this one up again, but.......found a solution, just in case anyone else ever searches it out.  As I said above, the weapon wheel "failure" seemed to magically go away for a period of time.  But, then it came back again a few days ago.  Was wondering if it was some of the recent mods I had installed or what.  Switched to a saved backup game file - where the problem hadn't been - and it persisted.  WTF!!
 
The mod that I last installed before the problem came up again was Stow That Weapon (Back Weapon).......did that do it?
 
Nope.
 
Ultimately - I figured out it was something that I was doing, slightly differently, when playing the game.  For some reason, sometimes I was using the number row keys on keyboard to switch weapons "quickly" - say, from my carbine back to the pistol (by pressing the number "1" key) - rather that using the weapon wheel.  I believe I noticed once in the default keybind listing that there are quick keys for Weapon Selection, for some of the weapons - like in many other games.  While experimenting with Stow That Weapon, everytime I transitioned from the rifle or shotgun back to the pistol, the weapon wheel would not come up anymore.  Until I would "Force Duty" again.  Took me a few tries to figure that out for certain.  Not sure if that is supposed to happen (once you use the number row, the weapon wheel doesn't come up anymore?), or not.  But......whatever - avoiding the number row works for me!!
 
Maybe this will help someone else down the road.............

Availabe or On Patrol, or Busy

then make sure it is updated and report the bug to the developer and if they dont respond just dont use it until they fix it

Np!

Oh ok thanks a lot for help, and asking my questions, apreciate it.

Very new to LSPDFR but loving it.
 
Had a thought which I'm posting as a suggestion, but if someone can tell me a plugin already exists for this then amazing - I searched a random parked car on patrol and found drugs and a handgun. I checked the owner's details (I have CompuLite+, but guess I could do the same on the base mod's computer) and got their address and the fact that they don't have a gun license.
 
I thought it would then be cool if there was some way you could issue a warrant for their arrest and then it spawns a callout for that person at that address (in the same way as a regular outstanding warrant callout). Could do the same if a ped gets away from a pursuit/foot chase etc., but you ID'd them beforehand?
 
Essentially I'm imagining a button on the police computer which issues a warrant for a named ped's arrest and that spawns a callout to go get them at their home address.
 
I'm not a modder so have no idea how complicated this would be - not aware of this functionality in any existing plugin - food for thought?
