Police question

Every now and then, I play in a police car, but what I find really annoying is that sometimes in the distance I hear sirens, and then ~5 seconds later they end. Does anyone know why this happens? I was also wondering if there was a mod or any way to track a suspect when they try to escape you.

 

I think it is when the suspect vehicle is close to the despawning point and after that... yeah, it despawns. that could be what is happening. oh, and you dont need a mod to track down suspects, you just need to have the map ui running.

 

Oh ok. So all I need to do is just add the map using the apps or just use M?

 

with the ui app option. once you are there, click on add ui, and search for the map ui. all traffic cars should appear on the map

 

I tried that, but it didn't really work, because only my arrow showed up, and also the general map layout

 

Thats weird, did you spawn in traffic cars or an alternate vehicle? those normally show up as green circles

i have an alternate car spawned (Ibishu Pessima) and it showed up as a green circle on the navigation map. this is my first time sharing an image, so let me know if its wrong.

 

I just opened up beamng, and for a split second they all showed as small green circles but after that it just stopped

Only my cars show when I get out of the vehicle

Oh ok I found out what was wrong. I looked in the settings as a last resort and I found the option to turn it on

 

is it working now?

 

Yes, thank you for your help!

 

You're welcome.
