Got an update too. :)

Made a new LED lightbar (Federal Signal Arjent) for the LAPD and LASD Patrol car. It will replace the old lightbar.

No offence, I don't really like the new lightbar, it has nothing to do with your model though, i just don't like the real one.
I prefere the old one, but it's more realistic to keep this one

Right, it looks like a big piece of candy... First time I saw it, I thought that was a joke...
But we will get used to it - not every car can be a CHiPs Dodge Cruiser ;)
Nontheless, good work Hoppah :)

Nice Light Hoppah! but don't change all the light because it will be too similar juste change for couple of cars not all , for originality..
My opinion

It's a new lightbar, just like the Whelen edge lowpro, you'll get used to it, and I am pretty sure he is not going to drop it on every car as they do not currently all have the thing yet... when they do he probrably will.

i'd adjust the size a little bit Hoppah, it looks too big to me... I think once its scaled down a bit it will be fine. By adjust size, i mean from top view... The distance between the front edge of the lightbar and the back edge is a bit too big, if you make it a bit shorter distance, you will get that arjent size just right... If u have question you can ask me by IM and I can explain it better... another way to say it, make it less wide... The width betwwen the edges towards the front of car and rear. I think the "side width" is fine.

There's a reason why it's called the Los Angeles mod.

like ive said before...im personally a whelen liberty kinda guy :-) BUT good job on the model! i cant really seem to pin down what is making it look odd to me... i dont really think its too big... so it might be the darkness of the red and blue top...maybe drawing too much attention away for the cruiser? maybe post some pictures from ingame usage (day, night, topdown, side, angle) or a short Youtube of the lights in action will help me figure it out.

It is a pancacked Vista lightbar, so it will look funny because the dimensions are not the same as it's bretheren all the way around.... It makes it appear "off" I believe it to be slightly off but I do not know if I agree with ya'll on revamping the whole thing is needed because of it. I have compared the real bar to the model already and there are slight size faults but nothing severe.... You are probrably used to the Vista which is alot taller (makes the dimensions look better) compared to the pancake.

Hoppah,

I'd like to make a suggestion or a request for your next mod or mod version 1.5.1 etc... I think it would be cool to have a private ambulance service in the game. I was thinking AMR as they are all over the country and I'm sure are in LA too. Although I'm guessing they don't cover any emergency calls in LA I'm sure their ambualnces are still operating throughout the city. Maybe Mike can help us with this. My idea would be that you could just reuse your current red and white van ambulance which is currently not used by LAFD and reskin it as an AMR rig. This way we can reuse a great looking ambulance without clutering the game with another unit. Your thoughts?

I've included a few sample links of AMR rigs. This is just a thought.

P.S. I forgot who brought it up, but I loved the idea of having a storage lot in freeplay mode with older reserve engines, ambulances etc...

like i said, i think viewing it in an ingame environment will clearly show how it looks. hoppahs gotta test it ingame anyway so its not really going out of his way to post a few screens :-)


EDIT: Plus, you wont be looking at it with that close up of a zoom ingame, which should make it look smaller.

Precisely... The editor distorts things fairly bad, what may appear proper in the editor can quickly become distored once in the game (common with all "perspective" based editors).. I have made vehicles in the past where I attempted to use the editor alone to guesstimate the dimensions only to fail miserably due to the perspective elongating the vehicle, making it look stubby, you name it. The dimensions may be slightly off but I do not believe it to be a critical issue, though he'll know once he dumps it in and views it under normal conditions. El~Vista and Arjent share alotta traits, to me both of them look off compared to the norm but they are what they are, the Arjent looks more peculiar due to the flattened top.
