Thanks for reporting this softlock condition. This was something I totally missed and I'm now looking into it. Can't thank you enough for the finds you're making. You are the man. The Lima ambulance has been known for a while but I wanted to do the Chevy instead of the Ford. I think I'll just do that one and add it together with the lineup even if the timeline is unspec. I'd like to have more content in here even if it's pushing the timeline quite a bit. I don't know how far I want to take the concept. It should be easy to have ELS be toggled too.

I'm sticking to 80s and 90s. I will be focusing on civilian vehicles, assets for those years, and also 2000s stuff. There are new additions to the civilian vehicle collection: I have also begun texturing the unfinished civilian assets. More to come soon.

Thank you for the help. I feel slightly vindicated that I didn't include sirens on the POV's. Okay it wasn't just because of the law - it's easier to leave them out than implement them into the code. I'll probably do some customization and make it so that a control panel command can be added, where the POV's will have sirens or not. Player preference.

I am interested in this helicopter but the modelling will be a challenge. I don't think I'll be doing this for the mod. I'd like to keep the scripts somewhat simple. I'm saving all the hardcore stuff for Montana mod. Sorry man, I don't want to do anything to the map yet.

Great finds, I'm definitely looking into these because we now know that the older Mack is also still in service. You did it again Miles. Keep it up. You've encountered a common problem with many mods. I have already adjusted the traffic lights but if they still cause problems, I might have to tune them even more.

Ebay has delivered once again. We have a hi-resolution quality picture of the Dillon VFD engine. The mystery has been partially solved. I'll have to guess the rear end if I want to put in the game.

I'll look into it I'm not in the position to set that up. But, if someone's going to volunteer to do it, I'd be down to help. I've begun texturing the incomplete vehicle assets. Civilian vehicles continue to be made.

I've been looking too and so far didn't find much. I did see some youtube videos that showed their POV's as having only front/rear lighting and very basic setups. I also found another response video where no siren was audible however it is not conclusive proof of sirens not being allowed. If I were to interpret the law literally, POV's are only allowed red lights. The statute lists nothing on siren amps and it could be interpreted as "beyond the scope of the law" or it's a legal loophole. Maybe somoene from the state can confirm.

More civs coming to this project: I have not neglected the playable units. There's a major revision coming to alot of models. They will have better shaping and texturing in the upcoming update. Here's the new front end on the Caprice models: There's also new front end models for the Chevy squarebody trucks: And a few more revisions to playable models like the F series trucks, Plymouth classic sedans and more.

Generally I'd like to be impartial and not pick sides but randomly calling people out as "self absored" (in an inactive thread) is a great way to get a negative response from other people. The post was uncalled for and it comes across as starting shit with people for sake of it. For now, no bans will be issued, rather I'll be locking the thread for about a week or so to let things cool off.

I have a lot of very negative things to say about the new game. I won't say them here. In fact I feel like im grieving the loss of a series that I love. I won't be so damn negative though; there is some silver lining. One that, it might funnel more casual users, who could potentially have modding talent, into Em4/5 Another one is that 16T is starting to re-establish communications with the community. We as a community could push for the "opening" of Em2012/13 to modding, so that we can have 90% of Em4 as a game but with updated graphics. We will see what the future holds. At least we still have the current titles.

New Econoline model coming soon to a few retro themed projects. There's also more civs coming.

It doesnt actually change difficulty in naturally spawning callouts. Rather it's intended for use when forcing callouts using the debug menu.

Thanks for the tip on this. I don't know what's causing this or why some users have it, but others do not.

Thank you both for all the pictures. The CARE stuff is really sweet and I now have a reason to make another variation. The county FD stuff is quite suitable but I won't make every vehicle. Maybe a few engines. More civ cars:

I'll just lay it out here before things get too heated - any mod has the right to be called unspec. That's freedom of speech and no different than say, me calling any other project as unspec. I look at things and call them unspec all the time. However, calling something unspec and gatekeeping are two separate issues being conflated into one discussion. I'll be watching the thread for now; it gets locked if people can't play nice. The usage terms of the mod are to be respected, that's just it. Not up for debate. That's not gatekeeping. That's respecting individual rights. What is allowed though, is the creation of any other Miami themed project as long as it doesn't infringe on others' asset usage terms. Nobody has a monopoly on a Miami project. If you can do it better, go for it. If I were to suggest a healthier point of discussion - make a new thread about a new mod idea, featuring something else like mainland Miami City, the 'glades or any of the suburbial areas in the county area. Option C would be a team effort among the factions to create proper spec for Miami Beach FD and PD. I leave it to you people to work this out moving forward.

You can do that by going into the editor. Load up your map and press print screen. In that free camera mode, fly all the way up to the farthest heights of the map. Try to be as centered as and as square possible, and take the picture using the print screen key.

Thanks for all the info and the finds. Turns out, this book already helped us before - it's earlier in the thread. Back in 2021, someone was able to provide some pages from that magazine. It is the reason that we have complete LA Airport Police. The name of Haruo Mizuno seemed familiar and it looks like he has helped us already. Rest in Peace to his soul. If only he knew how he has helped us. I was not aware there was even more information on the agencies. It's nice seeing there's some retro SFPD and more LASD in there. Here is the latest batch of civilian vehicles. I am looking forward to getting them ingame.

I'm really proud to report that more LASD spec has been found. The most interesting vehicle here is the wagon, however all of these vehicles are a trip to have found. Sadly, no higher resolution has been found. If anyone has a lead on this book, please feel free to share.

I'll merge your old account into your new one.

I have an AMC Concord model, but I could modify it into an Eagle fairly easily. I don't feel like adding that vehicle to the submod though. That doesn't mean I won't make it. I think I have an idea where I can put that. Perhaps a separate vehicle set could be made of extra or novelty vehicles.

Thank you for all the references, everyone. Every single one (that isnt a past repeat) helps. In spite of the lack of updates, progress is being made.

This site's rules prohibit sharing links or promoting piracy. Just a heads up. You can get the game on Steam for not very much money.

Can anyone with this hardware, confirm? If this proves to be an effective solution, I'll pin this topic.

Personally, I'd like to see the categories split, outright. IGT and RTA. IGT would favor those who want to play in realtime for each mission, regardless of hardware but I also understand it would cause alot of tie-breakers with how the game only counts to the second. This wouldnt be strictly limited 1x speed only. Rather I'd like for it to be a showcase of who has the best solutions for each mission. RTA would stay as is, whether the ingame speed is restricted or not. Maybe down the road, an FPS cap or some kind of limit can be imposed.
