    Hi everyone!
    A few days ago I stumbled on a couple of screenshots of some CHP liveries for the Gavril Grand Marshall.
    What struck me was that the lightbars were very inaccurate to the real CHP ones.
    What comes next is only logical... Let's try to make a realistic emergency pack! Sounds, liveries, license plates and parts...

    For now, here are the agencies I'm working on for v1:
    - California: CHP (California Highway Patrol), LAPD (Los Angeles Police Dept), LASD (Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept), LAFD (Los Angeles Fire Dept & Los Angeles County Fire Dept)
    - Illinois: CPD (Chicago Police Dept), CCSO (Cook County Sheriff's Office), ISP (Illinois State Police), CFD (Chicago Fire Dept)
    - Washington: SPD (Seattle Police Dept), KCSO (King County Sheriff's Office), WSP (Washington State Police), SFD (Seattle Fire Dept)
    - North Carolina: NCSHP (North Carolina State Highway Patrol)

    If I've got some ideas and recommandations for v2 I'll post them here:
    - Old NCSHP skins
    - Old SPD skins (to add a Grand Marshall to the pack)

    As it was asked, I precise that I'll only be doing recent liveries/configs for now as there's already a lot of stuff to do. Maybe I'll make some older vehicles for a v2, who knows...

    I'm opening this thread because I'm looking for help to fix some bugs and to dev some 3D stuff. Also looking for beta testers. If interested, just reply under this thread!
    I'm openend to suggestions too.
    Thanks!

    Nice day


    Current bugs:
    For now, all solved! :)

    For now, this pack might take a bit to make as I've got some stuff going on in my life but I promise to release it as soon as possible... I should be back on this project by next week

    Hey, do you think I could be a beta tester?

    Possibly next you could do Seattle Police Department / Fire Department? I don't think people have made any skins for them yet.

    Hi! Thanks for your message
    Yeah sure, you know how to install mods, right?
    Ok for Seattle, I'll add it to the list :)
    Btw, is King County SO the sheriff in Seattle? (if you live there)
    Also, they're not using CVPIs in Seattle since 2014, plus they changed their liveries. So no Grand Marshall I guess, mainly explorers... So Tograc

    I've yet to see a proper quality NCSHP mod yet, that'd be cool to see. It'll be interesting to see the different liveries they've gone through because boy have there been a bunch of them of them.

    I do not live there. I could ask my parents about what older liveries look like though, as they lived in Everett (a city nearby Seattle) so we could do some of their older liveries.

    I know how to install and download mods as well.
    Keep in mind that if we want to communicate we would have to use either Gmail or the Conversations feature on this website as I do not have Discord.

    Ok yep thanks!
    --- Post updated ---
    Hi!
    Thanks for your message
    I think I'll start with their current liveries before going to older ones, but maybe for a version 2
    Thanks for the suggestion!

    Hey!
    Thanks for your message
    For the Arjent, I'll see what I can do but I can't promise anything
    Sure, we are constantly looking for beta testers, just send me your tag via DM
    Thanks!

    Update: I'm back working on the pack
    made all of the WA and IL configs for the Grand Marshall today, CA will be done by the end of the week and then NC should follow pretty soon
    Then I'll move on to the Bastion, then Tograc, then H-Series...
    Basically, here's what each vehicle will be used as:
    Grand Marshall = CVPI
    Bastion = Charger/FPIS
    Tograc = Explorer
    Vivace = Focus (but almost no Focus in any agency so there shouldn't be too much of these)
    D-Series/Roamer = Tahoe/Suburban/Expedition/Escalade
    If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

    If you want to use a Crown Victoria, there is this mod here: https://www.beamng.com/threads/98-11-ford-crown-victoria-v2-5-2023-04-10.84582/
    I'm not sure, but I believe it comes with some lightbars that can be used on any vehicle.
    If you want a Focus, there is the Gavril Vertex mod (on the repository).

    Yep i know, thanks
    But I don't want to do configs for it because it people would have to download the CVPI or Vertex before using my mod
    Maybe I'll do separated configs for these later that people can download on the side
    Thanks for the suggestion!

    Hey guys
    Quick update to let you know what's going on with this pack

    So first of all, no I'm not stopping the dev on this pack, just had to pause it for a while.

    I can't work full time on it so I'm spending 1h here, 1h there... It's taking a while because I want to have the best pack possible, as close as possible to the real world.
    Some people have sent DMs on Instagram, so here's the reply for these people: I'm as eager as you are to play with the final product, but I'm the one developing it so please be patient.

    Once again, sorry for taking so long.
    If you have any questions (other than "WhEn ArE yOu ReLeAsInG iT?") I'd be happy to answer these, just ask!

    Byebye
    Nice day ;)

    Hey guys
    Hope you're all doing well

    Quick message to keep you posted on the dev of this pack.
    I was able to finish all the fullsize configurations for CA, IL, WA and NC.
    I'm just left with the light patterns for NCSHP and a couple of visor/deck lights for SFD and CHP.
    BETA version with fullsize configs should be over in less than a month if I have enough time.
    Sorry for taking so long!

    You'll find a couple of spoilers attached to this post ;)

    Nice day

    Hi everyone!
    I hope you're all doing well

    I'm very sorry I wasn't very active recently. I'm trying to manage my life, my studies, my new professional responsibilities, mods on different games (GTA V, FiveM, BeamNG.drive, OHD, Trackmania) and I still have to sometimes do unplanned stuff (like helping a friend move to another country). Just to say time is flying by: it feels like I was opening this thread yesterday... I'm trying to get back on track with the modding scene and to overcome the issues I'm facing in the different games I'm making mods for.

    As you probably saw when you clicked on this notification, this mod is now "on hold". It's not cancelled, but I don't want to pretend like I'm actively working on it when I'm not. I don't have the time/resources to work on this (or other huge mods in general) right now because of the amount of work such project requires.
    With that being said, if you guys are interested in helping, please join my Discord where we could chat in details about what this mod needs to be released as a Beta version.

    Cheers
    MG
