It makes me realize how sadly rare it is to see old American sedans in my neck of the woods nowadays. The Nissan Sentra could also be used someday in a Mexican mod, since they until recently were still produced in Mexico and commonly used as patrol cars. Not sure if you've seen this before, but another unusual CHP cruiser from the 1980s, - an AMC Eagle. The page has some decent all-around shots as well as a description of the light package on the slicktop when in service. https://code3garage.com/california-highway-patrol-amc-eagle/ I have an AMC Concord model, but I could modify it into an Eagle fairly easily. I don't feel like adding that vehicle to the submod though. That doesn't mean I won't make it. I think I have an idea where I can put that. Perhaps a separate vehicle set could be made of extra or novelty vehicles. Spoiler I made this last week and it might have a place as a test CHP vehicle in a separate pack of extras. Spoiler This one's also been made and is destined for civilian use. However there are unconfirmed claims (see attached picture) that LAPD used these for unmarked duty. If evidence can be produced, then it goes into the LAPD fleet. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarGazer Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Excuse me for the dumb question, but how exatly do I properly install this Submod where I can properly choose between modern vehicles and the 80's/90's vehicles? I must've done it wrong yesterday because I couldn't get it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place the Nostalgia Mod folder in your EM4 Mods folder, like so: C:\Program Files (x86)\sixteen tons entertainment\Emergency 4 Deluxe\Mods\Project Nostalgia Submod C:\Program Files (x86)\sixteen tons entertainment\Emergency 4 Deluxe\Mods\Project Nostalgia Submod\Audio C:\Program Files (x86)\sixteen tons entertainment\Emergency 4 Deluxe\Mods\Project Nostalgia Submod\Emitters And so forth. Then load the modification in the game menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmith6 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 That makes sense, there are plenty of unique CHP units in the game already, that it might sense to create some sort of bonus pack. You've probably seen this group on FB, but it has some really interesting photos of the lighting equipment and upfitting of older LAPD units along with some older General Services Police cruisers https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=191320378666022&set=g.364281704315147 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchboy Posted March 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 I'm really proud to report that more LASD spec has been found. The most interesting vehicle here is the wagon, however all of these vehicles are a trip to have found. Sadly, no higher resolution has been found. If anyone has a lead on this book, please feel free to share. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has a lead on this book, please feel free to share. I used google image search and it appears that this comes from a Japanese book that is a "world police catalog" with the year stated on it being 1978. It also contains pictures of more vehicle, though they aren't from LA, beside a picture of a LASD van. But I did find another website that had an extra page to preview and it contains a few CHP vehicles. https://history.aucfan.com/yahoo/h1026174156/ask/ and https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/o440507340 are where these pictures can be found. It seems to be a e-bay type website so you might even be able to buy it, it seems. Honestly I think it might be a good idea to start using google images more often, I didn't realize till now that this tool is really useful, you can use it to find the original source which can lead to even more finds and if you find nothing from the original source, you can always copy an image of those old cars and paste it into google image search and it gives to similar pictures. Edit: I have continued to search and I noticed that i'm seeing a lot about this Wild Mook thing, looked it up and it's published by a guy named Haruo Mizuno , he loved American cops and managed to get ride alongs with NYPD and the LAPD and has apparently published "about a dozen books on this topic", so that might be something to follow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the info and the finds. Turns out, this book already helped us before - it's earlier in the thread. Back in 2021, someone was able to provide some pages from that magazine. It is the reason that we have complete LA Airport Police. The name of Haruo Mizuno seemed familiar and it looks like he has helped us already. Rest in Peace to his soul. If only he knew how he has helped us. I was not aware there was even more information on the agencies. It's nice seeing there's some retro SFPD and more LASD in there. Here is the latest batch of civilian vehicles. I am looking forward to getting them ingame. Spoiler 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while ago, I found out that CARE had a website before Falck took them over. Using wayback, I was able to find some older era CARE units from the early to mid 80s. Most have an older logo before the adoption of the logo they carried until the end. (Most of these are cropped in order to make the post smaller as the photos were a part of website banners.) I'm not sure if I ever shared this one, but I figured I'd share it in case I haven't. This one is dated sometime in the 90s. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeFireman2500 Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening to you all, for a short while I have had a massive interest for this mod, I downloaded it a couple years ago and I have to say it is quite impressive. Recently, after some discussion with Itchboy regarding this mod, I have decided to conduct extensive research for the past hour, I have dug into finding some references for the Los Angeles County Fire Department in regards to this mod. If you would like please look at them to see if any of them are fit for this mod, if they are or if they are not please message on this topic board as soon as you can.

Thanks, If the mod is uploaded Via the downloads tab/File base section, if you click on the mod it will say the date it was created, and underneath of that it will show when the last update was. There might be a better way but that's how I usually check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
