You could have the FD break into a building..

Or, make it able to let the police kick in the door

Not as tactically as the police can. What if there is a person behind the door?

[Unit 42]

TRUE. I can't wait to see the ESU trucks.

Well here is an idea. What if there could be a pop up pump control pannel like the G.U.I. That you guys made for the communication radio. Have like the levers that control the disharge and intake line, have different hose line sizes 1.75 in, 2 in, 3 in, ect. hook ups and lines.

It would get somewhat complicated, but really, for that idea, just have it so you can like. open the inlet for the water, choose between foam or water, then pump or turn off the pump. Maybe the airhorn button for fun xD

I was thinking, what if the guns and fuel tanks needed to be refilled after a while. Gun clips too. Also, fire house chores could include cleaning trucks and taking care of fireman and feeding them. Also, you could have your police officers go to diners etc and feed them

It ain't the sims But.. Isn't that a bit hard when you need to do that and attend all the emergencys ?

This is a mod, not ERT. These things would get annoying after awhile.

I third this.


Its emergency not omgthisisreallife! Realism is a good thing but you really gotta draw the line somewhere and I suspect this mod will find a pretty good balance..

[captonbob]

ok well as much as we can try these mods and pretty much most arnt going to be supper real. they will try and make it as real as possiable, but there is still going to be the game aspect of it

I was thinking...if the calls come out one at a time, how much time will be between calls? I'd hate to respond to a fire then have to respond to another fire somewhere else within a few seconds. Maybe 3 minutes between calls would be nice...

Better yet make the time intervals between calls random. Like with my home department, there are times we'll nevers stop running durring a 12 hour shift, and then there are days we do nothing but sit.

Everyone has been asking for realism, and putting a time constraint in between calls is not realistic. In my opinion it should have no restriction. If their happen to be 4 fires at once in NYC there not gonna say to someone oh you have to wait, they just call more units to respond.

I understand why you say that however. At times such as in the LA mod I have wished to not have so many calls at once. reason being my graphics card gets screwy when their is to much happening.

[Xplorer4x4]

There's no exact time between calls. You simply sinish a call and then another one appears.

Source?

There has been no comment as to exactly how long there will be between calls. As for the 4 fires, the problem here is if we had 4 fires at once we would be to busy to do the things needed. This isnt the LA Mod where you show up, put water on the fire and your done. On the contrary you are going to have to do roof ventilation(well probably not all fire calls but in some cases). You might need to do a primary search(guessing),secondary search(guessing), bust out windows(guessing here), bust down doors,etc. Being a FF you know better then I do what all can be involved in a fire call. In a game environment if you have to carry out all those tasks, how do you expect to over see that much at once?
