I suggest not using Google Translate, as you get odd little buggers like that first sentence that aren't quite right, usually due to an idiomatic expression.

[erfd]

Its good enough to get the point across though.

First gameplay of this great mod:

[fireboss-tulsa]

would be good if when i click run to install that something would happen instead i sat thee for 20mins just doing nothing!

[patvmru]

Wish you could provide an English translation as I can not work out a lot looks a great mod with great features but can not work out how to get hoses connected or why I only have the station on map and di when I go status 3 the vehicle drives off map and can not seem to follow it!

[HS311]

Is here any topic for multiplayer help in english?
We had few problems(wegberg6.1.2) with FW, like setting up hose from truck or using DLK's (ladder) basket etc...
Those things are easy on Wegberg singleplayer or just normal Em4 but this isn't working for me

Any tips are welcome

Press the little Earth button on the top right when you send all your units off the map. It will switch the map and your units will arrive onscene, but not right away due to realistic response times.

[erfd]

Basically to respond:

-You receive a page for the fire alarm.
-From 6am to 6pm a chief spawns in the station.
-Put the chief in the white chief vehicle.
-He will automatically open the gate and unplug the vehicle
-Click the radio icon when you select the unit.
-Select Status 3
-Press the red arrow to send the unit to the scene.

Now:
-Fire fighters will be responding to the station
-They will automatically run in and put their gear on
-Select one fire fighter and send him to the unit you want.
-He will open the gate and unplug the unit.
-Select more fire fighters and send them to the unit.
-Select the unit and open the radio, go status 3.
-Press the red arrow to start responding.
-Up on the top right, click the globe to load the scene

On scene:
-Once on scene open the radio for the unit and go status 4.
-Empty the vehicle. A fire fighter and the captain will get out.
-The fire fighter will open all doors. Select the captain and rightclick on the truck to remove the rest of the crew.
-If there is a fire, select the truck and click the pump start button on the bottom menu. Its a circle and will say "Pumpen Starten" (something like that).
-The pump should now be running.
-Select a fire fighter with a SCBA pack on.
-On his menu, you will see a fire nozzle.
-Click it and connect it to the fire truck.
-He will now be able to put out fires.

Water Supply:
-Select a fire fighter to grab a standpipe hydrant. (Looks like: http://www.google.co...9QEwAw&dur=1503 )
-This will also make another fire fighter grab a hose line.
-Find a little water connection circle on the ground.
-Select the fire fighter with the standpipe and click on the water connection.
-Once installed, select the fire fighter with the hose.
-Connect to the hydrant, and connect to the fire engine.

That should basically get you through the basic call. I found the best way to learn the game was to watch gameplay videos. Ask questions if you need help!

[galantjunior]

So Will there be an english translation so that the non-german speaking fans can properly play it?

[erfd]

Probably not. I translated most of the tool-tips, etc for version 5, however the problem is that the menus that pop up are actually image files. I tried to edit them, however , the developer as locked them in some way I don't know how to unlock. So unless the developer releases unlocked images or does it on his own, we cant make a full translation.

Although, to be honest you don't need to really know German to play. I learned to play knowing almost no German by just messing around and watching gameplay videos.

[TacticalRooster22]

Yeah I've figured it out, too.  Also, Google Translate on my phone doesn't hurt either.

[FInn Rescue 12]

Wow looks great nice work.

[Mr_Kaizer]

Just had a few games with the new version. Must say I like it. Having two extra engines means that the dev has added bigger fires. Had one where I needed all available engines, where a semi truck trailer had caught fire in a driveway. Before I could put it out with the single engine I had on scene, it spread to the garage, house and all the trees in the garden And being able to call an ambulance again is great. In the past I have had fire fighters injured for various reasons, and had to restart the game. Not sure what the police is for yet though, guess I'll find out soon enough.

 

I do miss more car accidents and other technical rescue and/or aid assignments. They might be there though, might just be that I haven't gotten them yet.

 

And I'm also available for answering questions you might have about this mod.

 

On scene:
-Once on scene open the radio for the unit and go status 4.
-Empty the vehicle. A fire fighter and the captain will get out.
-The fire fighter will open all doors. Select the captain and rightclick on the truck to remove the rest of the crew.
-If there is a fire, select the truck and click the pump start button on the bottom menu. Its a circle and will say "Pumpen Starten" (something like that).
-The pump should now be running.
-Select a fire fighter with a SCBA pack on.
-On his menu, you will see a fire nozzle.
-Click it and connect it to the fire truck.
-He will now be able to put out fires.
 

 

I wish to add something to this list: 

 

On scene:
-Once on scene open the radio for the unit and go status 4.
-Empty the vehicle. A fire fighter and the captain will get out.
-The fire fighter will open all doors. Select the captain and rightclick on the truck to remove the rest of the crew.
-If there is a fire, select the truck and click the pump start button on the bottom menu. Its a circle and will say "Pumpen Starten" (something like that).
-The pump should now be running.

- Select a fire fighter, and have him pick up a "verteiler" (same as the wye from US-style mods, only with three out connections in stead of two) http://www.rossla.de...f/Verteiler.jpg A second fire fighter will automaticly pick up a hose.

- Place the verteiler wherever you want it, though you have to be close enough to the fire for the FFs to reach it, and close enough to the truck for the hose to reach the verteiler.

- Connect the hose to the truck, then to the verteiler.

- Have three FFs pick up nozzles (Hohlstrahrohr), and connect these to the verteiler.
-They will now be able to put out fires.

 

EDIT: Just a tip: Remember that if the hose is too short, you can connect a second one to the end of the first, extending it. This is especially handy for those times when the water supply is far from the fire.

The only thing I don't like is when there is a tiny fire and you have to use three fire fighters with hoses to extinguish it.

[Mr_Kaizer]

Yeah, the fire mechanics needs a bit of tweaking. I like the fact that it takes longer to extinguish fires, but when you need three hoses and a water supply to put out a fire in a portatoilet, it's a bit much. I guess it's an issue with the game mechanics. It probably doesn't scale in a realistic way, as in the fire mechanics are the same regardless of the size of the fire.

How do you complete the oil spill mission?  I tried using bindemittel and brooms, but I didn't have enough bindemittel, even though I had every truck except the transport wagon on-scene.
