# What is LVC:Fleet?

### Introduction

Luxart Vehicle Control: Fleet is a new separate resource based off of the innovations of [Luxart Vehicle Control v3](https://github.com/TrevorBarns/luxart-vehicle-control/). It introduces more finite control of vehicle profiles by the use of Vehicle Configuration Files, abbreviated VCFs. A vehicle configuration's settings are called **profiles** for LVC and describe all the settings encompassed in the VCF. Vehicles, by use of it's game name, are then assigned approved **profiles.** 

#### **LVC:Fleet specific features over LVCv3:**

* additional profile specific settings (siren defaults, audio settings, menu permissions, etc.)
* on the fly profile selection through LVC menu
* server sided siren integration with **local override** and **peer override**
* rumbler / howler support *(requires installation of compatible siren)*

{% hint style="info" %}
**Local Override**: When active, LVC uses resident.rpf client side sirens instead of any server sided sirens.

**Peer Override:** When active, LVC uses the clients local siren selection for peers of the same *faction. See more in VCF configuration.*
{% endhint %}

In the above diagram, you can see that LSPD, BCSO, SASP all have approved profiles 1, 2, 3. **This allows the player to select from these three profiles in the LVC:Fleet menu**. Meanwhile, the firetruck and ambulance are assigned individual profiles and will not be able to change profiles.
