@krissboo Well, I think that nearly 70% of the car mods on this site are unoptimized for the game, if one would replace cars only with high quality optimized models there would be no problems, mostly.
For example, many of the flashy super cars that people usually download aren't optimized at all (you won't see from the looks of the car or anything if it's optimized so not many people care) and are only good for addons since they would cause too much issues if they would spawn in traffc.
big car replacement packs are also full of unoptimized models.

@krissboo I doubt that replace cars in general cause crashes, it's the low quality car mods that cause crashes when many of them get spawned in traffic (which happens when you add them as a replacement)

lol, OpenIV still works, just disable internet access for it with the firewall and you guys should be fine, it's not like it will magically dissapear from all PCs (for now)

@DAVIV-GUETTA Don't worry, we can ensure you that it certainly won't be thaat long until the update will be released.

Very important information.
More people should know about LODs, maybe that could improve the horrible quality of many mods from here a bit...

I think they spawn on the replaced vehicle just fine without causing crashes, the tuning parts will obviously look out of place though because they were made for the default cars.

I'm currently working on some new lore friendly retro service vehicles loosely based on real ones

I think it would be awesome if we had a mod that adds the LS Riots from GTA SA, just better.
With:

• Burning houses,
• Random people fighting with melee weapons (rarely there are maybe some gang members who are armed)
• Random burning or overturned cars on the streets, fire trucks coming to extinguish the burning cars
• People looting stores (they enter it running and leave the store with some stuff in their hands)
• Some store owners protecting their stores from being looted with sniper rifles or simply handguns or other weapons
• Motorists (including the player) getting pulled out of their cars and beaten
• Emergency services responding in the city, police attack unarmed looters or people fighting with nightsticks instead of guns, they will also try to arrest them

You already visited lcpdfr.com right? If you are looking for police vehicles than gta5-mods.com isn't really the right place, most police modders don't release over here

@DocBuddy Nope, not yet

@inbetweendays_ I may have found someone on lcpdfr.com who could maybe convert the police version

Uploaded a new 70s mod http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/15031-70s-lapd-helicopter/

I think it would be nice if we could have an 1978 Ford Fairmont in GTA V, there are models for GTA IV and they are unlocked as far as I know.

it would be especially great if someone could convert the police verison to V, I'm really interested in making a LAPD version of it

I have something that might interest some of you, I was working on some 70s plates for vehicles last year, might finish and release them this week, seen in the picture is a realistic 70s california exempt plate that was used on governement vehicles.
Don't worry about the quality, the plates seen in the screenshot are outdated, I already improved the textures

@zh465 Go into visualsettings.dat located in mods\update\update.rpf\common\data and look for this

car.indicator.day.emissive.on (random number)
car.indicator.night.emissive.on (random number)

Change the numbers that are written behind them to something higher, I set them to this you should use this too, makes the indicator lights bright but not too bright

car.indicator.day.emissive.on 300.00
car.indicator.night.emissive.on 400.00

Works the same for every other vehicle lights (taillights, reversing lights, etc)

@Akila_Reigns That's not true, vehicles without LODs do show up in the distance, the only thing that disappears on models without LODs are the wheels though, for some reason

@Frazzlee
It's not really the problem that the cars are so high quality, the problem is that the models use one very high quality model for all distances, default game cars all have 5 models, 1 model is displayed when you stand in front of it and the other 4 will be displayed when you get further away, like this https://i.imgur.com/gh353oF.gif not having these 4 additional stages of a model causes the game to lag or sometimes even crash, sadly documentation of this important steps is hard to find, It was hard for me finding any information at all.

@SgtGodZilla568 I guess the problem are GTA V car mods with low quality, sadly over 50% of the car mods from here don't have any or pretty bad optimisation for the game, so the game can't handle it...
