Also, not sure if it is relevant at all but, none of the els lights work on the other NPC police vehicles in game either, so it's not just my own car that is effected.

OK so I have had this happen before and typically it is a matter of just copying/pasting certain files that have updated in much the same way as the workaround for game updates. The last time I played the game with fully functional ELS lighting was three days ago. It doesn't look as though there have been any updates either by Rockstar or the community since that time (LSPDFR, Ragehook, etc.). I am running the latest version of Scripthook and have AdvancedHookV in the main game folder. I will upload both the ELS log as well as a picture of my control panel active showing that the lights do nothing other then when in stage 3, the rear tail lights do flash but that is it. I have tried reinstalling the particular car in the image (UC crown vic) and it has no effect. Also, whenever I load up lspdfr, it is always raining whereas it almost never would load with rainy weather before. Maybe this is just some random and strange coincidence but I've put in more then 450 hours in lspdfr and so this does stand out as highly unusual. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I love this mod more then I can really say. ELS.log

For the record, I just went ahead and restarted the game a few times after unloading and then reloading all the plugins and that seemed to remedy this otherwise inexplicable problem. Ghosts in the machine as they say in the Matrix.

As the title of the post suggests, I had been using els lighting on a variety of different vehicles that I've downloaded and then, as of tonight, I no longer have any functioning lighting on any of these vehicles. I haven't changed any of the game files since I last played, which was only two days ago and when ELS was working fine and everything else seems to be doing what it's supposed to do (I have many plugins that I'm using). Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

As the title suggests, whenever I get a certain distance from any one of many replacement vehicles that I'm currently using in the "sheriff2" slot, the textures just completely drop out and I'm left with floating ELS lighting and a license plate with no vehicle at all. I'm going to try and post two separate images, a before and after but in successive posts here since I think I'm otherwise going to exceed the upload size limitation. This problem only seems to happen with some vehicle models (all add on). Any insight or advice would be hugely appreciated. Thank you for reading

Thank you sir. I actually realized that there is a much more expedient and time saving alternative which merely entails selecting the SA exempt plate when in the garage. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thank you sir for the reply. I managed to found a much more expedient workaround by merely selecting the SA exempt plates in the vehicle options menu when in the garage before I roll out on patrol. I appreciate you taking the time to come in here and respond to me.

Hello my fellow GTA 5 LEO’s. I’ve been attempting to replace the Yankton plates on the two corresponding vehicle models (policeold1 and policeold2) yet have been unsuccessful after having spent over an hour in my efforts. I’ve searched these and other forums and have found some guidance but none of it has been enough to effectuate any change. So far I’ve replaced the Yankton plate textures in three separate file locations using Open IV. I am including the path files below. I assume that there has to be some other “vehicles.rpf” file that is controlling and which I just haven’t found yet. Also, some other guy suggested that you have to edit the vehicles meta file to change the plates but I don’t see how you would actually do that. Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are the files that I've replaced the textures in thus far: E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update\x64\dlcpacks\patchday27ng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\ E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update\x64\dlcpacks\patchdayg9ecng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\ E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\x64e.rpf\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\

Fellow GTA 5 LEO's, I've been experiencing consistent issues with the callout function while running lspdfr. This seems to be a systemic issue and is sufficiently pervasive so as to encompass a range of customized callouts that I happen to use (Kuchera, County, Typical & Yobin). I did set the "Ambient.DisableEscapedSuspectEncounter" line to true, as the standard, built-in callouts endemic to lspdfr began to intrude a little too much on the realism factor but I don't see how that would have any correlation with callouts generally. What typically happens is that I go on duty and within anywhere between 2-3 hours later, while still in-game and on duty, I get a callout that shows on the mini-map but doesn't materialize, in that it doesn't actually generate any NPC's or interactive content, can't be cleared, disables my ability to pullover vehicles, sometimes disables the functionality associated with the Police Smart Radio and always invariably results in my having to exit the game and restart since I can't reset even by using F4 to "forceduty". Likewise, whenever this happens, I lose the ability to enter either the police station (any of them) or my player home, which happens to be the one in Grapeseed. While I do have a large selection of custom vehicle models added to replace just about every one of the vanilla police vehicles, I can’t conceive of that having any effect on the mechanics of generating callouts. Likewise, the only plugins I have running are the forested San Andreas, EUP, plain sight, compulite, grammerpolice, enhanced questions, stop the ped, ultimate backup and police smart radio. Again, none of which would seem to me to cause any interference with callouts. I also have a small script that enables my car to keep running when I exit without having to activate the ELS lighting. I’m attaching the RagePluginHook text file for review, though I can’t seem to reconcile that transcript with what is happening in game. Maybe someone less noobish and more knowledgeable than I can make sense of this mysterious problem. Thank you for reading. RagePluginHook.log

Thank you for the excellent suggestion; one which I had not actually contemplated. Incidentally, I'm also a huge Naya Rivera fan. In pace requiescat.
