You've mentioned that your adding unmarked units in the patch. Which cars are going to be included in that? I'm assuming it'll atleast be the crown victoria and charger, but will the impala's also be included?

[Newfoundking]

Yes

[BrandonAshton]

I do understand the decision to not bother with the tiller.
but it has such amazing potential if it could just work correctly. I doubt there is any way to fix the way the trailer interacts with the enviroment. But, I do understand peoples dissapointment.
I love that thing IRL

[shadowzuziz]

the trailer in order to make it not swing and go crazy and cars driving through it would require im thiniking a complex script

[Newfoundking]

Either A, something we haven't thought of that's reasonable, or B creating a mission script to emulate freeplay. Either or results in ages of work

The tiller is ugly as sin the way it behaves... Its that simple... Trailers cant be made to have physics so they will ALWAYS behave as they currently do, for a small trailer this isnt an issue, for a large one it's very notable....

Loving it in reality doesnt mean that the game will sadly like it too

Agree'd. and I understand. jussayin I understand the /sadface of the situation
Not like one single tiller is gonna make or break this mod. Id rather not have it at all, then having it and having it be insanely unrealistic and budgy.

So that decision is a good one, imho

[MikeyPI]

I wish there were a way around the physics issue, but even in reality if one could get physics in the case of something as big as the tiller... Chances are it'd get stuck on things because the game wouldnt drive it right unforunately... Maybe down the line we'll try a few techniques to see if we can't fix it... but I'm not holding out on that thing ever working properly and for that reason I don't want to build one or have it roaming about wobbling all over, getting cars going thru it, and getting stuck in buildings and what not... Shame as it is, EM4 was not built with america in mind, so alotta features we use far more than the euro guys won't work on this game's base framework.

[Pearl71]

any chance of poles being in the fire house? they worked in EM1... just curious since most all of new yorks fire house have them

[MikeyPI]

They don't really serve a purpose other than lagging the game to no end... considering that the station rooftop comes off the structure you'd have a furrmen comming down from nowhere, which probrably would look worse than no pole... The stations arent setup to be open buildings on part of the floor like a "cutaway" because of the fact sometimes you gotta grab the guys and all of that stuff...

Sending a furrman down the pole, then another one, then another one while possible through an animation would be alot of work since i'd have to create a new dude to send down a pole and the script would lag on some computers and probrably not work at all on others... Very few could enjoy a feature like this correctly so I do not beleive it is in the best interest of time vs. reward to attempt to do this... EM1 might have had this, but this is EM4 which is a totally different system.

[Newfoundking]

Please note, Em1 let you see several stories to a structure, Em4 eliminated that, and we see only one floor on each structure, the rest apparently are impassable

[Hoppah]

Why not add pole dancers instead?

[Cpr]

Forget the damn pool i want her. (I hope)

[Sawdbuster]

Didn't we go over hoppah's um... 'interests' in the Hang Out Topic?

Anyway, Res1cue can't unload the boat at the beach by the canal did you guys plan that or is it a bug?

[MikeyPI]

Bug because of the position of the water drop location we think... that one seemed to have problems with R1, something related to it's size probrably... We didnt bother moving the positions of the things because well for the most part you rarely use the boats and there are several options, plus we have a new map in the works so the priority to fix one thing not letting one boat, but the other deploy isnt an issue imo, just avoid sending R1 there... aint too many water missions in the orig freeplay anyway so it's not too big a deal.

Either a Video card issue or you tried to modify the modification and screwed up somewhere... The mod won't simply stop working one day to the next unless you have hardware issues or have tampered with it.
