I prefer the option to have the chance of have in every car a lightbar

[[RDSR] Roba]

If any sort of lightbar will be implemented, I'm quite sure it would be made for some of the specific, already existing cars.

Say goodbye to RAC and LX cops lol

Yes , thats what i meaned , to add/modify the existing VOB mods or just how they do it , but just on the existing cars.

Also , im sure that them will add (if they do it) something for RAC and LX. And if those cars , have been able to cop those days , will be able to do in future. Or maybe , only for VCUs , as undercover...

[SO•Yukine]

I still have the Horn1 bug.

[[TC]►Ash◄]

What bug is that? Everything is fine for me

[SO•Yukine]

The sound appears looped (muted when not in use) instead of starting from the beginning every time you press the horn key.
(A bit off-topic, I started to make my sirens for the update. )

Edit:

Sorry I did not fix it for M9. It is fixed in my version.
As you said, it is only Horn 1 that is affected.

0.6N Released: https://www.lfs.net/patch-6n

[Jimmy]

there is an strange with horn sound, like press V 5 times to that view and sound get abit weird. anyone else got does know what i mean?

[[TC]►Ash◄]

Its the Doppler effect.

Basically its the same as real life. When a police car/ambulance or whatever passes you, the sound is being thrown out AWAY from you once it has passed, so it sounds different.

This has basically been replicated in LFS.

[Jimmy]

Oh thats nice

You can see (hear) it in a video i posted a few posts up

Starting to get tired of how often updates are rolling out. Only had a 0.6M rev bouncer for about a week and now it's redundant.

Don't take this as a direct dig at you, but the LFS Dev's cannot win..

If they don't release any updates for ages, they get backlash from the community saying there is no progress.
Now they are releasing fairly regular updates, there are people moaning about that too lol.
