INTRODUCTION
PROWLER DUAL DSR is a plugin developed for LSPDFR. It was heavily inspired
by WolfKnight98’s excellent Wraith ARS 2X and is based on the real-world
STALKER DUAL DSR. The goal was to create a realistic radar system that
would mimic real-world police radar.
DSR stands for Direction Sensing Radar which means the is capable of identifying
the direction a target is traveling. It also has a Fast Speed mode which allows it to
track both the strongest and the fastest targets traveling in either direction.
There are four main modes of operation, three of which are stationary and one
which is moving. See Operating The Prowler for more details on each mode.
The PROWLER DUAL DSR also has keybinds for locking the speed of either the
strongest or fastest target.
INSTALLATION
Drag and drop the contents of the RAR file you downloaded into your Grand Theft
Auto V folder.
CONFIGURATION
You can set everything except keybinds using the in-game menu. The
ProwlerRadar.ini file can be found in your plugins/LSPDFR folder. Some
functions share the same key using a short vs long press.
You may add a modifier key to any of the keybinds by appending Modifier to the
name (e.g. PowerKeyModifier):

The display can be moved anywhere on the screen and scaled from 50-150% of the

OPERATING THE PROWLER
Stationary Mode
Select one of the three stationary modes by pressing the MovSta key either using
the keybind or from the settings menu. Select either stationary closing (SC),
stationary away (SA), or bi-directionary stationary (S_).
Moving Mode
When your vehicle moves, moving mode is automatically engaged. You can also
select it manually using the MovSta key. While in moving mode, your patrol
speed will be indicated in green on the right side of the display. Targets will be
limited to those either traveling in the same or opposite direction as your vehicle.
This setting is changed via the SameOpp key.
Fast Mode
Unlike the real STALKER, Fast Mode is always enabled on the PROWLER. The
radar detects all vehicles within the range and appropriate angle. The strongest
target will be the one closet to the radar system and displayed in orange on the left
side of the display. When there is a faster target avaialble, even if it is not the
strongest, it will be displayed in red in the center of the display.
Locking
There are three different keys for locking speeds. The StrongLock key will lock
the strongest speed while the FastLock key will lock the fastest. Both keys will
lock the speed into the center of the display and the LOCK indicator light will
light up. If the FastLock key was used, the FAST indicator light will remain lit.
There is also an AutoLock key which will toggle auto lock. If either the strong or
fast target speed exceeds a threshold, the speed will automatically be locked.
