I don't know about anyone else, but I'm very much looking forward to the 31st of February.

I don't understand. How is it not accurate?
 
 

Howdy,
I suppose this will be a kind of a dev diary for 3.1. As NefariousBonne has said some time ago, 3.1 will mainly be a content update, introducing new car and ped models, as well as improving existing ones. Thanks to YMT edits, peds will not only be much more varied and detailed, but also better optimized and "neat" from technical perspective. Many ped models have gotten new components, such as improved bulletproof vests, belts, and so on. Many vehicles have received improved interiors and lighting, and some other tweaks.
 
 But you all know that already. I would like to tell you about one new script feature we have been working on for some time now. 

We call it the IncidentManager. This is a new system that allows cops to call backup during shootouts with NPCs. The backup units that spawn are the same that would spawn if a player was wanted, and zone-dependent as well. Furthermore, the response type and amount will be based on the severity of the incident. Not only that, but a rudimentary chase system has been implemented, which will allow cops to dynamically chase fleeing NPCs. IncidentManager allows for very dynamic and lively shootouts, and is for all intents and purposes a Wanted Level system for NPCs. It can be turned on and off in the ini.

A small new feature is that SSR (as a whole) can be turned on and off in game by pressing a specified (configurable) key combination. With SSR disabled, you can play LSPDFR and most story missions without any compatibility problems (note: this does not fix missions that crash).

Furthermore, some advanced optimizations have been performed on the script. We hope that this will alleviate some of the performance complaints we have gotten for 3.0. 
 
3.1 has been delayed a lot, but we want to present you with finished, polished product. We continue to add new features and content daily, while testing for bugs and performance. We hope that we will be able to present RDE 3.1 to you soon.

Here are some new pictures of the big upcoming RDE Retro addon, set in a 1992 time setting.
 

Welcome to California.
The halogen rotatory lights will be making a return eventually; @11john11 was working on an enhanced vanilla MX7000 that we will use, and I've been on and off working on a better vanilla Edge for the BCSO.

Since I'm too lazy to do anything myself, I thought it'd be best to let the community test my WIPs and report any bugs or suggestions to my modifications. Here I'll try and frequently post all of my WIP modifications for everyone to test. The only thing I ask from you is to write some feedback about the mod. And no I don't mean, "5/5 PERFECT MOD". Tell me what needs to be improved or what should be added. Or if it is "perfect", just say so.
Here's my first mod for testing, the 1996 Ford Crown Victoria.
no more god kill me
I know it needs a better steering wheel and I am working on that.

REALISM DISPATCH ENHANCED
LSPDFR 0.3 addon
PART OF GTA REALISM SERIES BY GTA REALISM TEAM
Dilapidated, mkeezay30, Yard1, BobJaneTMart, Bilago, SkylineGTRFreak, BroCop, EddIm, Alex_Ashfold, AlexVonShep
Depreciated, included in RDE 3.0 and above This addon adds the BCSO Addition Project made by AlexVonShep, additional LSSD vehicles and peds, edited popcycle to allow for the right sheriffs to spawn in the right areas and a customized LSPDFR 0.3 backup.xml file allowing you to take full advantage of RDE's peds and vehicles, right out of the box. You can also use this addon without LSPDFR if you wish to have LSSD and BCSO patrolling in correct areas, however only BCSO will spawn during wanted levels.
Features:
Separate BCSO and LSSD, patrolling in correct areas Edited backup.xml taking advantage of RDE's peds and vehicles to allow for a more realistic and fun experience This addon will also be included in the next RDE version. Simply install the package using OpenIV's Package Manager. No additional edits needed! BCSO Addition Project already included.
This addon is in beta stage, however due to the nature of it there shouldn't be any bugs - please let me know of there are any though.

RDE LSPDFR 0.3 addon has been released:
 
It will also be included in RDE 2.3 package.

Thanks to Sam, LSPDFR 0.3 will support RDE's added peds, and we will release RDE 2.3 shortly which will include a backup.XML file and other tweaks to provide you with the best LSPDFR experience possible, straight out of the box.

Any say if there will be an option for disabling stun guns? I've never been a fan of them. Even in LCPDFR. It'd be much nicer to replace that with the actual batons.

:^)

I get it. You want to recreate this :

Of course, we made audio a big part of 1.0, it is definitely our intention to make it an even bigger part of LSPDFR.

​I actually would rather have a script that gets rid of the hats. I've never seen a single LAPD officer on patrol, in my 14 years here in LA, wear one unless it was for ceremonial purposes. That goes for the sheriffs within the city too. Not sure about the areas in the northern outskirts of the city though.
I'm assuming that we are able to choose how our officers look just like in LCPDFR, right? I guess we can already do it through a trainer, but it's still a feature I'd like to see.

By the way: Anyone with non-Steam versions may have issues with the recommended install process (non-Steam versions with OpenIV.asi will tolerate an update.rpf that's modified, but not an x64e.rpf that's modified). The solution is to copy vehicles.rpf from x64e.rpf/levels/gta5 to update.rpf/x64/levels/gta5; you can then change stuff around in the vehicles.rpf you just put in update.rpf. This will also be better in the future when OpenIV moves to keeping update.rpf vanilla and having a copy at /mods/update.rpf which is what gets changed.

​I would love to see you make that video.  It is 100% impossible to do without mods, and still 100% impossible to do with the mods currently available - guaranteed.
LSPD Buffalo and Cruiser - not used in ambient police chases in the game. LSPD in Blaine County. Sheriff cruiser responding to the chase. Sheriff cruiser joining the chase. Player speech + animations. All added by LSPDFR.  You cannot make that trailer without mods.

There's no point in dancing around the subject, just be straight forward.
 
See what I did there?

I always had a thing for the stones, and Vietnam, and the 70's. As Anti-Hippie as I am, I thought that was such an interesting time in American history. Things really started going downhill, and this song really captures a good portion of that time period. 
 

welp this one was easy. Ma fave character is Bubbles

Uggh, this is a hard one. Most likely it's 
 



 
Mainly because he's quite the interesting person, in many ways. X-Files was the one series that really got me hooked, and interested in paranormal phenomena. There are plenty of other series out there, but few were as good as the X-Files. So, Fox Mulder it is. Feel free to disagree, but the chemistry between Mulder and Scully was something out of this world at times. Just amazing stuff. 

Don't get me started on this. This is politics and bidding at their best.

Long story short, why replace the A-10????It's the the most ugly, beautiful aircraft we have. Nothing makes my balls tingle like hearing that 30mm gun hum her beautiful song. And now you're telling me the F-35's main gun won't actually be able to be used until another like 5 or 10 years later (didn't read the posted story, just going of other articles I read).

Somebody start a petition to keep the A-10! #SAVETHEWARTHOG

There is no truth to this at all. Move along. 

I must say, I'm actually very surprised -in a bad way- to see how many people are "supporting" this kind of marches that are all about persecuting innocent people who did nothing but practice their religion in their own privacy, based on the acts of a couple of extremists who are using the Islam religion as an excuse to justify their acts, when in reality the only thing they want is to see the world burn.
 
I am... disappointed, to say the least, to see so few people being comprehensive and trying to actually make the difference between a simple man practicing his religion and a fanatic going out to kill people just because of his twisted mind.

Are people really this ignorant to believe that all Muslims are terrorists? Come on people wake up, it is only a small majority of this religion that are extremists. Meaning not all Muslims are terrorists, and not all terrorists are muslim.

A highly generalized statement describing the tiny minority of people who call themselves Muslims. Just because a few people who call themselves followers of Islam give us a bad reputation, doesn't mean we all are like that.
 
Furthermore, it's not just people who call themselves Muslims who are a "bunch of fucked up people with stupid beliefs." There are Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Catholics, you name it and there will be some people with crazy views.
 
Also, yes... I am a Muslim. And no, I'm not a terrorist, nor do I support terrorists. I think terrorists - regardless of religion - don't deserve to call themselves part of any religion. Just another thing, I don't think I'm an expert on Islam, terrorism or politics. These are just my views, if you disagree with me, sobeit. I'm entitled to my opinion and you're entitled to yours.
