In terms of lighting, given the time, it would probably be safe to assume that it had one solid burning lamp in the front windshield and alternating yellow/blue flashers on the lower left corner of the rear windshield. 

We found the answer. It was on facebook the entire time.

These cars had nothing except a single steady red in the left side front grille. No rear lighting, unknown siren.

Not an update, just good news

CHP unmarked spec found. Anything like ELS info, unknown.

No.

I'm fully commited to retro and anything modern will probably be something for the 2030s, when "modern" becomes retro eventually.

I have very good news. The mysterious LAFD Ford Aerostar van has been found.

Facebook retirees claim it is an EMS Supervisor vehicle.

It shall be added to the mod. Thank you Sandra Lee.

Just stopping by to say "New Spec Found".

I wasn't sure if LAFD had 72 Matadors but it appears they did. The speaker setup on these is goofy.

It's been a long time coming. I've wanted this for a while and I finally have the mental fortitude to actually make it.

I'm looking forward to when I'm able to put the equipment and paint on this thing. It's gonna be so rad.

Could it be possible if you could repost the images please? The image links are broken.

Most of them have been lost to Discord. This is the only non-destructive image link that I have.

Unfortunately it is a few months old.

Found a small error in MTDummyFreeplay.script: Line 304, missing parenthesis at the beginning of the if.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Happy New Year Itchboy!

Thank you everyone. Really appreciate the greetings.

Just finishing up the last 10 or so civilian vehicles that need to be modelled. I hope to have results in a few more months.

This will be the last big update to the mod.  I don't have much left in me but I am having fun at least.

Happy New Year to everyone.

I don't really have a message other than gratitude. Thank you for being along for the ride even if I've produced nothing as of late.

Hopefully 2025 I'll release the civilian car project but I don't foresee any updates to playable vehicles. I've kind of run out of ideas. Anything that we add now (apart from helicopters) is just another variation or a vehicle which serves no purpose ingame.

I'll consider my options but right now I'm thinking of a break from modding this new year. I'll come back when I have more motivation, time and ideas. I'll still keep to my promises no matter how late they come, at least.

Loving it, are the DOT cars going to be playable in game or just for ambiance?

I want them to be fully playable but that decision will go with the boys, and what they want.

On that topic, we got very lucky recently:
A DOT Bronco II has been confirmed, very lucky find. I'll have to model one of these someday.

I'm also still working on this mod, but my contributions have been very minimal as of late.

Somehow I'm still working on it, just really slowly.

If I can work out the bugs with trailers, I might be able to get the command trailer/MCI replacement done.

This is where I step in and say, if ya'll wanna beef, do it in DM's.

I'll keep these posts for another week or so then hide them to keep shit on topic. I won't lock the thread if everyone can play nice.

Ever since playing GTA3, I always interested in this kind of helicopter. I didn't think I'd be able to make one but it did get done.

More variations to come in the future.

This asset will also see action in LA.

You don't have to. EMP hosts images now, it seems. So only dragging the images in the text box is needed.

 

Sadly the forum has an attachment limit. It wont let me, you or anyone else have more than 100mb I believe.

I can easily cross 10mb per post, just by the amount of images I upload.

Regardless, I bring good news. The spermCopter is complete, and I have both body variations made.

Discord had an update that made photo links expire after 14 days.

I guess the strategy I had for posting photos is dead now.

F to pay respects. There goes all the mod threads content.

I'll have to go back to imgur, moving forward.

Welp looks like Discord or the forum broke externally linked images.

I'll have to find a workaround because this isnt good at all.

Good news, I have begun constructing the helicopters/air assets for this mod.

This will sit unfinished for a while. I don't have the motivation to continue beyond what I have at the moment. This was quite a challenge to make in the first place.

I have this unfinished model, that I will now nickname as the "Spermcopter"

Found this on the Dillon Volunteer Fire Department page of the City of Dillon website.

Thank you for finding another image of that truck. Seeing it with front nozzles is giving me ideas.

Whenever I try to save the game in Campaign -> Freemode the game crashes. It brings up error messages. It 'Saves' but when I load the save the same error messages pop up, hitting "Retry" doesnt seem to do anything, and when it finally loads I have no UI and can select unis.

It might be something I messed up while coding. I'll have to look into this, thanks.

Hey @itchboy, here's an unmarked LAFD tactical medic unit, in case you're looking for an example of an unmarked LAFD unit that has L&S. Please note that the rear light is red and amber, as opposed to the red and blue on unmarked and slicktop LAPD units. 

https://youtu.be/LuWlSLwd2S0?si=51iaQ0v6Rs61ccq0&t=97

That's cool but you're in the wrong thread, this is the New York thread.

Feel free to repost this back in the LA thread.

Sadly the tactical medic did not exist in the 90s.

In a hillarious bit of luck, an authentic NYC DOT tow truck has been found in an unlikely place - the original Men In Black film.

It's been a while. First thing I can say is that we've been gifted new spec found. MotoStringer got us a new McCormick ambulance variation.

This guy is legit as hell, if you're interested in these retro tapes, give him a sub.

Another update is progress is coming really slowly. Recently, I began to texture the civilian vehicles and vehicle bases for additional units.

This one's special - I've been meaning to get one made to replace the Jeep model we already have.
Texture and miscellaneous parts by Yankee43. He did a great job and I hope you guys can give him some love too.

With all this in mind, I'll cut back the traffic set even more. I'm not really getting as far as I want to with progress. I'll revert back to my original concept of replacing only the bare minimum, or else I'll never complete these assets, at the current rate of work.

It's been slow going for progress from me. I've sadly, not been able to do very much.

This is one of the 87-89 Mack Pumpers, early WIP.

More to come in the future, but I make no promises.

Finally got these setup.
