Watch out for the new Insim update!

The new Insim update has introduced a serious change that causes, among others:
- forcing the use of a vehicle with a lightbar as a Cop.

Basic cars such as FZ5, TBO, LX, etc. can no longer be used!
Instead, you have to use mod versions of the cars with a lightbar.

NOTE -> Admins claim that the versions of cars with Lightbar are identical to the versions of the same cars without Lightbar (basic versions of cars from S1/S2) - WHICH IS FALSE!

This has already been known since the mod versions appeared, but admins seem to be trying to cover it up.

The lightbar versions of the cars are the same only on paper, but in reality they have a different, much worse suspension, which is significantly raised - which causes a significant difference in driving cars with a lightbar compared to LFS default cars - and this probably applies to all lightbar version cars.

(You can clearly see that in these screenshots - the same setup copied from the FZ5 version of the car):

FZ50 - default car:


FZ50 LIGHTBAR - mod car:


Setup is automatically raised which shouldn't happen since the cars - as the admins claim - are 100% identical! (the sliders must be in the same position when we copy the setup).
If we want to lower the suspension so the values are the same - it is impossible!, because the MINIMUM value does not even allow for such a strong lowering of the car!

The second very important thing, why at least I didn't drive lightbar versions of the default cars, is the inability to set your car sound on SHIFT + A, which is very important for me.

For each "default" car in the game, I have a personalized car sound, which helps me hear the engine revs and adds additional immersion to the game.

For mod cars - versions with a lightbar have default engine sounds, which for me are too quiet and unrealistic!

So for these 2 reasons I didn't take car versions with a lightbar, and I think that the LARGE MAJORITY of people who Cop in the FZ5, TBO, LX, RAC (although for the LX4 and LX6 there is not even a lightbar version, which is also a great loss, and many people, including me, liked to Cop in these cars for refreshment) mean the same thing!

EDIT: I see that Chuck explained how to permanently change the sounds of mod cars, you need to dig into the game folders.

3rd thing that may be annoying is the additional planning of space for uploading skins to versions with a lightbar on LFS World.
Just copying all the skins and setups is nothing compared to this.
