Metro Cab Taxi 2011 Ford Crown Vic AD

Metro Cab Taxi 2011 Ford Crown Victoria

This is about 3 taxi vehicles in sliN's Metro Cab Taxi design . Props are included.

General asset informations:

The vehicles are based on vanilla taxi template (AFTER DARK DLC), so each vehicle will make one shift and pick up and transport up to 4 (I kept vanilla stats) people and drive them to designated target spot.

The props can be found with Find it! in props commercial section, search for "Metro" or "Crown".

One model with original advertising sign by sliN on roof
One model with City Skylines advertising sign on roof
One model with standard taxi sign on roof

Model informations:
Purchased 3D base model (Turbosquid), but highly edited/modified by me (modified tris count, wheels, whiper, mirrors, roof signs...).
Texture maps by me, except taxi skin by sliN.

Resized to CS scale. (= this means it does not match to some other 2nd generation CVPI on workshop, but to most other cars, see FAQ).
Recommended well matching civil version in size by 謀 (even more detailed as my model, but looking good together in traffic)

Stats (each asset):
Tris: 3.206 (versions with advertising sign) / 3.160 (version with standard sign)
Texture: 1024x512 (_d/_n/_s/_c/_a/_i)
Auto LOD
Vehicles share mesh fully and textures partly (all except diffuse map).

FAQ:
Q: Why a new CVPI model, as there are a few on workshop already?
A: I am not satisfied with most CVPI/Ford Crown Victoria on workshop. Some have lag of details, some are too small or too large. Therefore I decided to make a new model. I try to make the best compromise between tris count (target to keep below or slightly above 4.000 tris for single cars) and textures (1024x512 or 1024x1024 for cars), but still keeping optical quality in mind.

Q: Are you going to make further 2nd generation CVPI?
A: Yes, there will be police skin variations with different ram bar / lightbar / wheels.
Furthermore taxi will follow (including long version). Some other guys on workshop (e.g. sliN and CelsiuZ) are higly interested to update their fleet with this model.
I concentrate on Los Angeles Country vehicles first. If you are going to make a version for any other (or generic) livery, just leave me a message. Variations on workshop are highly welcome.

Q: I do not need three vehicles and/or props. Can I delete one or two without problem?
Deselect a vehicle or prop in asset overview (do not unsubscribe!) or deleting a *.crp file in the workshop folder should make no problem. Just be aware that I may still optimize this asset and make an update, so that you need to delete the *.crp file again.
