HP/HS Louis' Garage, Racer & Pursuit Cars

Everyone here's the latest progress on the PI Sedan/Special Service Sedan the exterior is finished along with the wheel options the civilian Taurus SEL rims were given to the PIs including the Explorer based Interceptors in 2016. Once Max helps me with redrawing the interior textures & I finish the interior then this will be released for the staff and work will be begin on the Taurus SEL sedan for the public. Vidwalls will also be included for all variants of this car if you are wondering.

Now presenting the civilian Taurus the SEL with Ecoboost engine variant I will change the tail lights from the PI/SSP sedan to those on the civilian models, the interior will get retextured & some minor details added to it, lastly brake claspers will be added for this variant too. Max if you are reading this feel free to please help out if you have some ideas for this car.

2013-2020 Ford Taurus SEL Ecoboost W.I.P.

I like it.

It looks pretty good so far. The only big thing I notice is that the wheels look a bit odd, like the tyres are too low-profile. On the real cars, the tyres look quite thick and the wheels look quite small.

(Also, the tyre tread texture is pointing the wrong way on the 2D hubcaps.)

Show me Max and I will correct the wheel issues.

The best way I could illustrate the difference is by looking at 4 sections of the wheel as percentages of the wheel's radius. I hope this sheds some light on it.

Max how's this please let me know if I got it right this time.

wheels fixed

Definitely better.

Yeah.

Besides doing the Taurus & police variants I also been going back & redoing some of my older EA police car remakes to make them more HQ in police schemes with help from AJ_Lethal. Plus now I released a new version of my 1995-1996 Police Caprice remakes that not only replace the traffic version, but also improved the player versions even the slicktop versions. I also finally succesfully made new dash view models of the Hot Pursuit 2 Caprice interiors that Dodge Boy made years ago which I still have backed up thankfully, showcases, & international schemes for the other countries thanks to AJ_Lethal again for his help there. Plus the new zip file consolidates the previous versions I did back in 2016 making find these easier. These new versions can now be downloaded and are available on this site.

These look great! Is it difficult to make dash views? It would be cool to have some for our other bases.

Yes Max it is and I will work on that as well too eventually.

Everyone I recently went back & redid Nils' Jaguar XKR (X-100) to be accurate to the default one as well as close to the PS1 Coupe I took the spokes of the rims from the HP2 model and added them, gave the car 3D lines, as well as PS1 style upgrades, & even made a convertible variant for those who prefer that version over the coupe. That's not all I also had AJ_Lethal go back & help me remake the Pursuit Corvette C5 Coupe schemes which he did and I gave the car new damage as well not to menton now comes with an Aussie police scheme too. Plus a compersion of the original Pursuit Corvette to its remake. Even asked him a while back to also help me give my Pursuit Camaro Z28 some international skins as well.

They look really good!

I notice a couple of issues on the Camaro, though. The reflective stripes on the rear bumper spill over a bit on the passenger side (look at the bottom of the texture). And the Police lettering on the UK livery's doors look a little strange on a white background. It might look better with white letters on a door-coloured background, just like the other countries' textures.

By the way, I thought I'd try tweaking the lightbar on the Caprice to make it look more like a real JetStream. Here's the result:



I gave it some photo-based textures that I made years ago. I think this would make the Camaro look a bit better as well.

Just for fun, I also made some different interior colours for each TGA, like Nils used to do:
