Great videos. Looking forward to version 3. I have a few suggestions of some minor changes that I would like to see in this version. First, would it be possible to start the game with all of the apparatus in station? It's kinda a PIA having to staff all of the stations at the beginning of each game. Also, could you add an ems bag to every unit? I believe that every engine and truck carries at least a bls bag. Is it at all possible to change the ratio of ems calls to real fires? It gets very boring playing for 2 hours and doing nothing but tending to injured people and heart attacks. I would like mostly fires. Also big, challenging fires where I have to use lots of apparatus. I'm a deck gun and tower ladder guy for most building fires. Older versions had decent fire spread. The latest version lacked that. I would like to see that return. Also, I would like the ability to interchange Rescue 1 and Squad 18 in their quarters. If my city is really burning, I like the squad because it has water and hoses. Again, in the latest version they saw limited use because I gave my ladder trucks a saw and a set of jaws. But if my city was really roastin, they would see more action. Anyway, great work. Looking forward to playing it.
Thanks for the feedback. All the things youve listed we have fixed or atleast attempted. As our knowledge grows on FDNY, NYPD, and EMS Information over the last 3 years we fix that into the next version. Such as now EMS bags can be picked up from any CFRD Engine (Certified First Responder) In which the engine company is emt certified and able to respond to EMS runs quicker than an ambulance would. Same with Herst Tools on the Ladder Trucks. You wont find ems bags on any other rigs besides the Engines, Rac, and Rescue/Squad. The Fires are something we revamped as well. They will be challenging (Last a while) as well as grow in size yet stay relatively in a small area. If you really want a challenge, just wait till you get a gas explosion. Those take down almost an entire block with dozens of people down and sometimes cause a Hazardous Material Leak in which you can bring in the new Haz1mat, Support Truck, and Haztac. We look forward to release.
As for the specs issue, Id say 90% of our beta testers have been able to run it, and during beta testing we are looking for the minimum specs and we will release those.
