@SkylineGTRFreak @Oskar I just spent like 2 hours hunting through all the meta files in the game for any hints on this matter of retractable landing gear. I literally extracted every single .meta file in the whole game and searched all for "SWIFT", and found nothing about landing gear. I've made an add-on with the exact same vehicles.meta and carvariations.meta values as the swift and swift2, to no avail. It's really quite confusing. It might be in some non-plaintext ymt file somewhere or something like that. Hard to say. I've asked the RPH developers if they can turn up any info on whether it might be possible to force through memory editing, but I wouldn't hold our breath there. Very frustrating!

There's a few entries in handling.meta that seem to be relevant:

<fGearDownDragV value="0.100000" />
<fGearDownLiftMult value="1.000000" />
<fGearDoorFrontOpen value="110.000000" />
<fGearDoorRearOpen value="95.000000" />
<fGearDoorRearOpen2 value="90.000000" />
<fGearDoorRearMOpen value="90.000000" />
          

However, I put SWIFT as the handling line for the add-on and it still doesn't work.

@Frazzlee said in GTA5 speed world record with a car?:

@Marcel2015 yeah if we could get source code for RAGE we could do so much

Why not just load GTA through RAGE Plugin Hook then? It removes the velocity limit during its loading process.

I'm a bit confused, are you saying you did make an MH-65 but then deleted it?

I'm not familiar with a converter per se. YMT files are by default in a binary format which cannot be edited. There's a reversed XML format carcols file available somewhere on gta5-mods.com which can be edited.

lightFalloffMax and lightFalloffExponent control that. Lots more info on this thread: http://www.lcpdfr.com/forums/topic/66806-researchwip-custom-light-patterns-through-carcolsymt/#comment-439388

@Akila_Reigns there are many mods which use RagePluginHook which do not require SHV or SHVDN to work.

@CP you can write whatever you want in a script mod. There's people making all kinds of script mods that go well beyond "missions". There are things under development like LS Noire and the zombie survival mode (no official name yet) that are pushing into new areas, not to mention the wide variety of scripts under the lspdfr umbrella. Just about anything is possible, it just takes a lot more time to make a polished script mod than it does to make a vehicle mod, so you don't see as many.

@CANAL-EMBRAER-GTA glad to hear it!

When you do eventually return to it, please make sure to add the rope_attach_a/b bone(s) to the hoist so that it can be used for rappelling. My understanding is it just needs to have that bone and then rappelling will work. Also the current model's rear seats have bone names r2 which doesn't let them be used with the default vehicle layout, I had to modify vehiclelayouts.meta to get the rear seats to work.

I am currently working on Coastal Callouts, a modification for LSPDFR which will bring some action to the oceans, ports, and beaches of GTA. I am developing the mod with specific vehicles in mind, some of which will be included in a custom DLC file with the mod. Right now @SkylineGTRFreak has an MH-60 Jayhawk coast guard helicopter released, which has been working very well. Several people have messaged me though about wanting an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter, as that's what is flown out of USCG Air Station Los Angeles.

There was previously a Z-9 Haitun model by @CANAL-EMBRAER-GTA which had a USCG Dolphin skin available, but that model is no longer available on the website, and had various issues which made it difficult to use.

If anybody would be interested and capable of producing such a model, many people would be very interested in having it available for use with this upcoming mod. Here's a screenshot of the helicopter rescue hoist functionality I've developed, demonstrated on Skyline's Jayhawk. Yes it goes both up and down

If you want to add blips to the map, just make a plugin that adds the blips you want.
