Sounds like it would require alot of scripting to give it changeable loads.


You should try out the Essex mod, that has pods.

well, unless youre including the SAS Counter Terrorism Teams, the G36C and M16 is not a weapon used by regular armed law enforcment units , there is no such thing as the M104A1 Baton Round gun after extensive reaserch, all/most police forces do carry a Baton and/or Pepper Spray, also Armed Response ave access to a new Tazer Shotgun which is very effective :laugh:


My area, Thames Valley, is starting to use M16s.
My mistake, it's the L104A1. Typo:

Looks good :12:

There are differnt pods which all have different equipment. Are you talking about the pods in real life, or in the Essex mod?

OK. In real life, there are different pods which have differnt equipment. For example there could be one which carries all equipment, there could be one which carries hoses and water tanks, there could be a USAR one, there could be a HAZMAT one.

BTW Who did the lights on the Vectra?

Real life:
There are 5 USAR modules.
There is also a decontamination pod.
And a pumping mod.
Also a hose layer pod.
Welfare module (Can't find a picture)
All are interchangeable.

Different counties have different pods but all should have the USAR and HPV.

BTW: Love the video! :12:

The lights were done mainly by me. UKMods999 put some lights on, but they weren't as well placed as he had done on the Vectra. I just put them in the right place and put on polygon lights.

As for the ampliroll loads, so:

- pumping/tank load
- hazmat load
- equipment load
- mpv load
- USAR mobile command office

those are the ones planned. Goodnight!

Yeah .. I learnt it from a tutorial on YouTube by Francis where he adds the lights to a Crown Vic. In that I learnt where you're meant to put the polygon lights (I had mistaken the polygon lights for the Radiation effect), and it's great because it creates a real effect that LEDs (or bulbs) are glowing inside there :) I think UKMods999 should try them, they really make a difference.

I wish I'd never mentioned the guns, I thought I was being polite providing info but it seems there's a competition for who knows most.
Anyhow, the Tazer Shotgun is the standard Remington with a Tazer shell that's self contained so there is no expense on more shtguns.

...the Vectra is no longer being included as a police vehicle, due to a lack of evidence of its existence.


Kookas - today I saw the very same Vauhxall Vectra, just like how you made it, patrolling down my road. :) Looks like they do exist afterall. I'm 100% sure it was a marked police Vectra and the same model as you have done.

Also, the ****ing Vectra will have to be redone for reasons I'm not in the mood to explain. Range Rover also.

They both looked really great. :(

Anyway good luck redoing them. :)

as far as collours go here are you going to use PBI gold or black fire kit and the new or old style helmets? and i thought the HAZMAT suits were yellow thats the collour they are by me.

But you live down in Wales, ours are a dark "medical" green colour, I think.

Here is a Hazardous Area Response Team member in HAZMAT. I saw an image of a WMFS fireman in a dark green HAZMAT suit, but now I can't find it ...

Posted Image

Every time I have seen a fireman around here (not often, mind you, so I can't remember it that well, only at a couple of car fires really), I'm sure they looked like that.


Also, the Range Rover ARV will no longer be included in the game. The Vector bar model will still be there amongst the files, but the texture and skin will be changed, and it will get an LED Whelen Edge 9M with grille and wing mirror lights to become a Road Policing Unit (saw one the other day). The reasons for its removal are that I don't even know if it actually exists in the West Midlands Police and also I don't really want to have to redo that Vector lightbar :P

The Range Rover will no longer be used by the Highways Agency, but instead will be replaced by the Land Rover Discovery.

The original post has been changed slightly, and now, every car except one has photographic evidence of its existence. The plans for a BMW X5 have been scrapped too, because although I know they do exist, there are too many RPUs planned for a game which doesn't let you have police chases, so I removed the one that had no photograph on the Internet.
