That is an amazing model! How many polygons?

Hi, I think you do a very good job, it's awesome, but tell me, what's the point making so much details in a game where you can't zoom much ?

Edit your config file and you can zoom out as close or as far as you want.

There is no question in your statement...

Yes there is, although phrased poorly, he wants to know if the ladder will have animations to extend the stabilizers out or if there just there for looks. I imagine the answer is yes, they will be animated but thats just a guess. If you look at the ladder video, i am sure you may find the answer.

As far as major fire apparatus is concerned, does the NYFD use only seagraves?

EDIT: and also, is an nyfd rescue rig the equivalent of an lafd usar? (im familiar with lafd not nyfd)

THX!!

The FDNY uses a mix of apparatus that is mostly Seagrave with a few others mixed in. Most engines are Seagrave with a few Ferrara rigs mixed in, the Ladders are all Seagrave, although I have heard rumors of a Spartan tower ladder that's in service and there is also an order with Ferrara for several new rear mounts. The Rescues on the other hand have never been Seagrave, with the current ones being a Pierce and 4 E-Ones, and they will soon be replaced by 5 Ferrara rescues. The rest of the apparatus fleet is a mix of manufacturers.

Thx, and for the second question i should've phrase it better; Is the role of an nyfd Rescue(http://www.abload.de...rescue1r1pf.png) the same as the role of an lafd usar(http://x635photos.co...l_LAFDUSAR3.jpg)?

Thz again

[Xplorer4x4]

I noticed on Rescue Me they were using a Pierce Ladder truck. I questioned how real it was and stumbled on a bit of info.

No, LAFD USAR units are for trench rescue, building collapse, that kinda thing and are staffed with. All FDNY rescue companies two specially trained firefighters. Each FDNY rescue is staffed 24/7 by 5 firefighters and 1 officer and respond on 1st alarm structure fires (if available), dive rescue, collapse rescue, haz-mat, MVAs, high-angle rescues, and any other type of calls the FDNY might handle. Basically the Rescue companies respond to all major emergencies withing their borough and the surrounding areas.

Just to add to what Firefighter 111 posted, the Rescue is the rolling toolbox for FDNY.

[FFW TUT]

Awesome, just me or the ladder look a little thicker?

All FDNY apparatures were made with an original technical drawing of Seagrave so all sizes fit to each other (front, back, side, etc) of the ladder 10 model or of this model, the only thing is to scale the whole model right that it fits into the 911 FR scene but we already solved that problem in our way we want to thank them again at this point for providing us their drawings!

Out of curiosity do you have any more information on the map. I remember you guys had to start over and I also wanted to know what the first borough you guys would be doing was.

Most likely will be the area of Manhattan around engine 7 and ladder 1's house, since it's the only fire house we've seen so far.

Few questions then, 1) So the originals were not to scale? 2)You solved it in your own way? Whats this mean? Dindt you just scale them down in Zmod? 3)You say they provided you with drawings? They being FDNY or Seagrave?

I dont think there will be a "first" borough so to speak. By the time this is released they will have included several mini maps. Look at the first page and notice how theres Engine 6, Engine 7, Ladder 1, and Battalion 1. I am guessing they will all be on the mini map of Manhattan in there respective stations, or all of them excluding E6 will be. Then you can call E6, Engine 10 and Ladder 10 from outside the map for assistance. Then there will be a minimap of Chinatown, and a station housing the units labeled as Chinatown and units from say Bronx or Manhattan can be called from off the map. The Bronx trucks might enter from the North side while Manhattan enters from the south side of the map.



On another note I have some new questions. How will we "remove" the roof of the fire station to see inside? In this screen shot theres like a little office. Will there be something like a dispatcher inside here?

[silverhawk1986]

Some answers:

1) What do you mean with that question?
2) Ehm, yes. But there are some difficulties to get the models in the right proportion. (Hope it's the right word?!)
3) We got the drawings from Seagrave.

the little office inside the house isn't accessible, its just a little eyecatcher... you can remove the station roof with a button in your command menu

ah and yes... we have our first "happy" Co



some more screens may follow later

[Shadylasse]

Just awesome

EDIT: You're killing me by showing screens cause it just makes me want the mod even more :-(

[Steve Winters]

By god FTW TUT, you're killing me here! You're killing me!
These are fantastic models. Well done!

[Xplorer4x4]

I think the fact you actually took the time to model the text Seagrave in to the grill is pretty amazing.

[MMT-Fan]

Doesnt that rear rubberfenderthing looks a little bit long ?
It's hard to see with also the tyres being black and the background black aswell.

But still.. I LOVE IT !
