It would have to be LAX crash 80

Actually it would be foam 180 when everything is said and done.

[USman]

Would that be why exeplorer needs a modeler then?

[Xplorer4x4]

Well I may have found a modeler, but I want to make sure he is on board before i say that with 100% confidence. Lets just say I need a modeler for a few things. Not just one. Some things I need a complete new vehicle, other I just need some small alterations done. For example, I already mentioned RA88 will be in the submod. I need a modeler to update the front end of RA88 as its drastically different then the front end for the current Ambulances. The rest you will find out in time, but one thing that excites me most is the random staffing of ambulances as this will be a major touch of reality.

[USman]

ic, I agree on the ambulance staffing. Another idea, althouh laborous, would be to put triggers infront of traffic lights so they turn red as a emergency vehicle nears. That would probably be alot of scripting and work though.

Excited, USman

Looks great! I like the yellow ALS fire truck! Will there be a yellow tower truck too?

I love the idea, and I would love nothing more then to put this in there, but I cant do it. The closest thing to that would be adding the traffic lights turn red when you sound the alarms at the fire stations, and at one time I had that in the other submod, but theres not enough traffic imo.

Nope. LAFD does not operate any yellow ladder trucks. The closest thing they have is a stair vehicle, Stair 80 seen here.

[firefighter243]

Oh. Do they use white ones? I am not trying to get off topic, I am just wondering.

[billyfromhill]

Nope, only red TDAs, and even then they're part of a light force (with the exception of truck 9).

[Xplorer4x4]

Not exactly exciting but small little touch to give it a bit of realism:

This car is stationed here permanently and can not be moved.

[USMC_NL]

hey xplorer, i have a small idea.

mayby its a idea to place also the redcorss humvee at the hospital with a parking space??

[USman]

Since you may have a modeler, would it be possible to make a smaller ladder for fire station two? Or maybe but diffrent vehicle in that fits better. I am just wondering because that ladder doesn't fit right.

Thanks, USman

[Xplorer4x4]

Doesnt fit right in what way(about the ladder)?

[USman]

in the way it looks as if the basket is hanging out through the opening.

[Xplorer4x4]

Ah ok, well I might be able to adjust the VO to fix this, but not sure. That FS doesnt have as much depth as the new FS2 does so I am not sure if it will work or not. Plus the wall behind the FS makes maneuvering tight as it is. If another model were put in its place, it would not be an authentic LA Model truck most likley as I believe LA uses strictly tiller trucks and as I understand it, the tower truck from the mod is not authentic as it is.

[USman]

okay I understand

Thanks, USman

[USMC_NL]

mmm mayby replace it with the new upcoming usar rig or the mcu and the new rig in the fs1

[Xplorer4x4]

Im open to idea for replacing the tower, but I dont promise anything. I will put up a poll soon with some choices of rigs for FS2. Hey if the tower larders not authentic then it cant hurt to throw something else non authentic in its place right? Plus The red USFS may be kept in the mod as a spare engine, BUT I have a authentic based LAFD Engine to replace it with, and no its not another pierce since FS1 comes with 2 ALS Pierce trucks and 2 BLS Pierce truck, not to mentioned a Pierce USAR.

How about you change it to a LASD car because they provide security to the hospitals in LA county.

[Valskinn]

Nice work so far ;-)

Done, and in regards to the ladder, pretty sure I cant make it fit, so theres 2 options I am exploring atm, and trying to come up with a third. I'll reveal more details soon but for now the options I am looking at are a Quint or Rescue Pumper from local departments. If the tower is not authentic then I suppose putting something else non LA in its place wont hurt.
