Jantemplar 0 Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Hi, today i would like to release the Beta version of my Holden Monaro Civilian and Police version. This is not the finished version as i still have many more texture varients for the civilian car to apply. I also have a Better Highway patrol texture coming and a working lightbar.

Hvymtal 1251 Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) I decided to compare the monaro cop with long-time standing king of arma 2 cop cars: the Skyline. Performance Monaro Top speed: 109 Handling ability: 8/10 Off road ability: untested Acceleration ability (w&q): 7/10 Skyline Speed: 118 highest recorded handling: 10/10 off road: poor acceleration: 8/10 Appearance Monaro Profile appeal: 9/10 1/4 view: 10/10 front: ~8/10 (w/ guards) back: 6/10 Skyline Profile: 10/10 1/4: 4/10 front: 5/10 back: 8/10 Interior Monaro Seats: 4 Driver side: right feel: kind of luxurious, but definitely makes feel fast Skyline Seats: 2 driver side: right feel: a little boring, but it is made up by it's tough appearance Other Comments Monaro: the steering wheel turns the wrong ways, needs to be fixed, but that's pretty much the only bug i've found. Plus the 3 paint jobs including white, plain black, and maroon blows away the skyline cop Skyline: you all have driven it, so you should be able to make your own comments Final Judgment There's a new sheriff in town, and he's got a V8 muscle to back him up! The Monaro is the best cop car addon for arma 2 as of right now! The only chance that another will take it's crown is when delta hawk finishes his port of the Crown Vics to arma 2. Currently there is a one critical bug with it when you use the CV in arma 2: YOU CAN'T GET IN THE DAM THING! So for now, the monaro is king, but gradual improvments may even blow away Hawk's CVs, these may include UK Paint skins, seperate lightbar and siren functions (basic wail should NOT be integrated into the horn!) and a higher top speed than the civvy version, and it should near 120, and then it will be the true king of cop cars, being far more useful than the skyline and definately the VAZ, hell, the vaz should now just be used as a taxi! One very good thing i like about the monaro is that when you enter from the right side, it's the front seats, and when you enter from the left, it's the back seats, making it easier to take a criminal to the slammer. If you disagree with my review or want to add Off road ability, please don't hesitate to tell me. Edited August 30, 2009 by Blueteamguy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hvymtal 1251 Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) :LOL: in the 3rd screenie there is a cop present :LOL: Well i'm psyched about the nxt release, now there's cop lights, sirens (separate, thx now ppl i ticket won't go deaf every time i pull 'em over ), and 2 new skins, one being Generic New Zeland (sorry if i spelled incorrectly, mozilla wouldn't stop bugging because it isn't in dictionary :() paint scheme, or, if you look at it a bit, UK, the other a CORRECT Australian Highway patrol, and it looks AWESOME! Man if bluevein gets this into CL2... Awesome job, especially on the lights and sirens! PS, you don't HAVE to answer this, but will you be doing any more paints for the cop cars? maybe some tricked out versions of the civvy cars? (the skyline in yellow (has Carbon Fiber hood) is too plain and the Skoda Felicia in red & green is getting old) I cannot wait to :jail: all those street racers out there! :outtahere: Edited September 6, 2009 by Blueteamguy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
