Can you make a, little bit, authentic cab?

Don't pay attention about mismatching medallion number, on this screens and L.C.C. TAXI sign

Cant wait for the cab version The only minor strange thing I noticed is the rear twilight on 1993 appear to have the 1991 chrome trim across, this could be the reflective backing inside. can you try to make that less noticeable on next update?

The Taxi is like 95% done.
Authentic? I don't know what you find authentic, but seeing Carface's Ford that I edited to a Taxi you can judge for yourself.

Authentic? I don't know what you find authentic

I meant about a taxi stuff - medallion attached to the hood lid, proper fares sticker, etc. You can compare with photos, that i gave to you.

Do you know what the red dot on the rear is called and what is says? I see it on all NYC cabs.

Here's a answer

QUOTE

• What is the light located on the back of taxicabs called and what is it used for? This light is called a trouble light and is located on the back of the Taxi, just to the left of the trunk lock.  It is used to send out a silent distress call in the event of a crime.  A driver who is being robbed can press a button in the cab, which causes the light to flash and alerts passing police cars.

Yo Oldsmobile, do you have any picture of the medalions that could be used by 80-88? I've been searching them in order to make some old school NYC taxi liveries but I haven't found anything

[Oldsmobile_85]

2RoadRunner71

No, I haven't

[Intensified]

So that's what the light is for. Thanks for the info!

[Tol@te]

I'm not sure about the grille.
Isn't it possible to put a better chrome effect on it?

[bigfoot2003]

I did notice the chrome is a bit white. Hopefully not a huge work for you, but Can you try making the chrome dark grey, crank up the specular to 70 then use max reflection map? The chrome is a bit whiter, with enb the reflection should be much more than default. I am just a little curios what it looks like.

I'll take a look into that. Thanks for mentioning.

Did you made a turn signal repeaters for ad-top?

I made them, yeah, but they're not functional because the taxi signs are extras.

Here's a release of an NYPD 1991 Caprice.

Which font you used for "NYC POLICE" sign? Arial? It's must be a "Helvetica" font

Yeah, Arial Black is very similar. You seem to be the only one noticing. I love how accurate you are!
