Yeahy, now I can see the truck with it lights on. Cool!

I wish the mod would feature the "rear reds". I find them pretty good.

[matthew]

I believe it does and boot lights

Yes it is I would hope so anyway, otherwise I wouldn't be able to try it!

Another look at the Ford Ranger, now with some beautiful lighting by TACRfan.

Scene: Kent Police blocking off road after a fatal stabbing.

Little sneak peak of the Ambulance too which still needs a lot of work.

Seeing this picture makes me want to ask another question. What kind of ELS options do you guys want? Do you want simple Primary Lights, Rear Reds buttons? Or maybe Primary Lights, Rear Reds, Take Downs, Left Alley, Right Alley etc.

I would love primary rear reds and if possible Rear Blues

[Pottyscotty]

Great work Scotty. Personally I would like to have flashing primary lights and then rear reds similar to the London Mod. I don't think we use takedown lights etc... Do we?

We do normally use Takedowns, the white lights on the Lightbar - 

 

- Not always used however, more for busy periods of the day I think. Most of the time they come on when the "999" button is pressed, but they are separately controlled from the blue lights and Wig Wags.

I love that sign post. So much detail in this mod.

Yep, the white lights you see on the ambo in that vid do come on when 999 mode is activated, and go off if arrival mode gets pressed.

 

For simplicity, I would go with having 999 mode (standard blues), then a rear reds button and then a button for side lights, alley lights or whatever you want to call them. You could also include arrival mode, I suppose, which leaves corner blues on and activates rear reds.

 

Usually we have a panel that looks like this

Buttons are fairly self explanatory. Side note, generally it's only the top panel from the picture, the bottom panel is an extra here!

What's the difference between the bottom tail lift button and the top one? They're in that rectangle at the bottom of the picture near enough.

Wow, really nice picture, is that in a Sprinter ambulance? I do like the idea of buttons you gave, with the arrival mode too.

[randomperson139]

That's not my picture, I found that on google. I think it's from a SCAS HART Iveco Daily IIRC. It is the same system that is found in standard Sprinter Ambulances, and I believe most emergency vehicles now.

 

In LAS, we just have the top panel (slightly different layout), exactly the same system just a few less buttons. I would suggest going with the ones I mentioned earlier, enough for realism in that they're generally the only options used. And still not too many so that it's not going to make everything complicated and too cluttered.

That looks realy good on scene

When I did the lights i based it off a Kent police Ford Focus as there are many videos of it on YouTube

Ah ok thanks, I didn't actually think they were classed as takedown lights.

[Pottyscotty]

Yeah that is what they are in the UK, I think in America "Takedowns" are just the front Scene lights on the lightbar. I could be wrong though.

[randomperson139]

I don't know if you would class them as takedown lights as such. I always associated "takedown lights" with front facing scene lights, which the ones on that ambo aren't. They will flash when 999 mode is activated, but as far as I'm aware those front white lights can't be turned on by themselves, so can't act as steady scene lights. This is the case for LAS anyway.

 

Another thing to note, that ambo is LAS, and LAS have a different lighting setup to others. For example, a similar vehicle in YAS wouldn't have those white lights flashing at all.

 

You will probably need to find SECAmb vehicles to get more accurate light patterns. It may turn out that we've been discussing lights that aren't used anyway!

 

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about any of the ambulance related stuff
