    Even though single-pattern sirens and lights are ok, we need a better system.

    -There should be 3 lighting stages. One for just the lightbar, the second for the light bar and window lights, and the third for wig-wags (which need to be officially added) You push the same button once to get stage 1, twice for stage 2, and three times for stage 3.

    -There should be a directional mode on the light bar which can direct traffic when the car is stopped. (Left, right, and center)

    -There should be a manual siren mode, as well as a power air horn.

    -There should be multiple siren tones, such as: Wail, Yelp, and a Phaser mode, as well as a scan mode.

    The layout of controls and function should be similar to the ELS addon for GTAV or the Photon addon for GMOD, I'm sure there are more. Let me know what you think.

    What I mean is how there are different stages of lighting. Police cars in real life have stage 1, 2, and 3. One is JUST the lightbar, two is window lights, and 3 is everything else. (runners, etc...) While there is a directional lightbar in the game, they usually only illuminate the back, and in an amber color. Also, there should be support for custom light patterns!

    Ok, cool. What about a Q-siren for a fire truck?
