I know the fire department covers medical services in the US but here in the UK it cost millions just to pull an engine out of a station and to a call so why do they send an engine out to assist why no another ambo or a first responder like here would that not be cheaper?

In a City like NYC, where response times are averaging 3-4 mins, waiting for an ambulance could take upwards of 10 minutes.
Regardless of cost, the city, like most others too, aims for best and quickest response rather than a budget related one.

There may be more into this, but as far as I know it's as simple as that.

Not sure if same thing but, here where i live, Finnish north lapland, we have same style as NYC, engine/tanker/mtv goes to medical responds if ambulance is far away, like usually 100-300 kilometres away.

Its costs around £400 to send an Engine with 5-6 guys to a fake call. Also you have to remember in the UK we have an alright ratio for People to Medical appliances. So sending Engines out isn't really needed. Also most Fire Fighters I've spoke to (LFB) tell me they only have the basic amount of first aid training. So they wouldn't really help much.

In my department, it's very common to see the quint and ambulance running a medical call. Sometimes, even a paramedic car will tag along. In the case of a fall or cardiac arrest, where you need at least 3+ guys, then the quint will run with the ambulance.

So in the US, it's pretty common to see a truck run with an ambulance to a call for manpower purposes.

their trained with resuscitation obviously i was aware of that i understand now but then if you think about it new york is more congested than British cities so it would probably be easier for the US to do that

Hi Dyson, Raf and rest of the team. You've been working on this for years. Anyway Happy New Year for you all!

Proud to release v3 full reveal trailer, this focuses on map#1 and is still in the development stage, but we now feel shortly after entering the new year that we can begin to properly show off map#1 - Times Square.



Feedback from the community would be great!
We've put about 6-7 months solid work into v3 already now, so we really hope to re-ignite some discussion on this forum as interest seems to be drying up.
Let us know what you want to see screens of and we'll do our best to show you!
Hazmat in action will be the next video uploaded, so wait around for that too!

Anyone that can play v2 can play map #1 #2 & #3. If your PC could not handle v2 due to the reasons previously discussed, you will only be able to run map #3, which means you miss out on Times Square and Grand Central St, but will still be able to use all the v3 models and scripts.

Excellent video, Dyson!

[Valadix]

Nice video Dyson.

I really like (from what I can see) the traffic volume. Seems to be a nice mix and right in the middle of V2 and V1.
That is what I really missed the most from V1, the feel of the "chaotic" streets of NYC.

Yeah that was a big thing in v3, we wanted to up the traffic. The traffic is thick, but easy to maneuver. Also simply sticking a squad at the bottom or top (depending on flow direction) and using the block traffic command will quickly block the entire avenue, this is specifically set up to allow maximum traffic control as soon as possible to avoid tailbacks and jams.

As I stated in the above post, we decided to include a SD v3 map rather than taking a step backwards and returning to v2. It will be map #3.
