I think Em4 Freeplay has the same map with no traffic problems but does lacks all the goodies,  i was working on old school mod for Boston rescue and used the woods map. i made some changes to the traffic so it would flow better.  If you have not got that far yet this might help good luck.  PS I would PM but you're not crazy about that.

Will you be changing the old la mod engines up. I'm not even sure what brand they were supposed to be in the first place

No this map is from EM4 with a few changes. No need to PM it to me. This works just fine.I will try to look at it later or tomorrow and see what it looks like, but I think traffic is a non issue at this point. I think I have even come up with a solution for preventing units from getting stuck in the train crossing. My advice though, find the traffic light by the railroad crossing furthest from FS2. Move the traffic light to the other side of the tracks to prevent traffic from stopping on the tracks.If you need a screen shot let me know.

As a matter of fact, the majority of engines on the map will be new models. One of the Pierce Arrow engines currently in the mod will indeed be hanging around in FS2. So there will be a few new models. If I told everyone whats stationed on the map, you might say it was over kill but given the frequency of events and the scale, some small and some large but manageable with a little care, However, being only one USAR on the map adds an element of realism(a big focus in this project compared to my last) because just like in real life, sometimes the USAR has to come from quite a distance away. If memory serves me right, there were cutback a few years ago and a few USARs got put out of service and/or moved around I believe.

Will you be adding a station at the airport?

[FIREfighterjr]

Ok sweet thinks, to this day I still can't figure out what the la mod engines are supposed to resemble

Undecided, there are going to be quite a few units on the map as is.

Hmmm what shall I tease you guys with today? Let me sea what I can dig up..(subliminal messaging, gotta love it). Whenever 2 medics/2 EMTs go to grab the stretcher, the scene lights will automaticly kick on and off with the rear doors opening and closing.

Lighting wise, still heavy on the lights! I believe most of the light patterns are the same as the last project.

Also there were some problems with the LAAP Tahoe model so I have decided to make it a slicktop SUV instead. The FBI SUV had some bad ass lights on it and since I don't see much need for FBI in freeplay I copied over the lighting from that to this unit. Down the road this might get replaced(at least spawn wise) with a little something different with one of the oddest looking light bars I have ever seen but part is wishful thinking for now.

I think once the stations are fully set up properly, you might find it changes your strategy in game.

Whats up Xplorer4X4  I was Just queries to what light's you might be going with for your Mod.  CFD, ELM4 or your own?  Both of them do good light work. CFD lights are very impressive but he uses lot of Polys and light count is high 200 /300.  It causes some lag to game performance.  I also noticed while making my Mod the radiation can cause a lot of lag to.   ELM4 lights are nice and are very clean looking and his count is low.   i saw the pictures of the new models they look good could you, when you get a chance make a close up picture or small video thanks.

Lights: "Lighting wise, still heavy on the lights! I believe most of the light patterns are the same as the last project." So it is a combination. Mostly CFD and a little bit from Occram's light packs when he was around. Generally speaking I think I mainly used Occram's lights on units with rotators in lightbars.

Well guys, some bad news..in a bit over 24 hours, I may be forced to take a hiatus and I really don't know how long that might be for. Hopefully things work themselves out but yeah, not looking good at this point.

If you need someone to talk to just pm me I'm always here for anyone:)

[jdclark2008]

Well as a brother and a community member if there is anything I can do or offer up..just hit me up. I'm here for you.

[FInn Rescue 12]

Whats up Explorer I made a LAPD Tahoe, using the FBI model my Mike PI. Here is a  video of the lights system I made it is under 100 count no lag.

Nice, they'd be pretty cool in game, I'd suggest a different lightbar though

[FInn Rescue 12]

Yes I did see that on the newer models 2014.  The older models still have S2 Federal Agent. I did see the new model lightbar Federal Raydain S2 or the (FS Hot foot Integrity ).  I think the model Cops made from his Ford Taurus he created the same type of light bar.  If you know how to make that into V30 file just the lightbar I can work on the light system.

This looks cool, would be cool to see all the modders on the EM Forums come together and pitch in to LA mod V2 for Hoppah for all he has given us lol

yes raf I'm sure he will appreciate it aswell:)

If you need any help let me know I might find some time. I'm a programmer not a modeler though. (C#/VB/C++/C etc) 

 

Also does LA County still have BLS engines and ambulances? Our county has every engine and EMS ALS. BLS is for very remote departments with little funding up in Oregon.

The only way any one can really help me is with PayPal donations(kalee81@yahoo.com) or ad revenue and download revenue. I am not doing this to get rich, I am not a greedy bastard. I am however trying to get a cheap studio apt so I have a place to live as my dog and I have been camped out in my truck for the past 2 nights because we are now homeless and my own father refuses to help me while trying to get on my feet.
