Hoopah I would Greatly appriciate if you could dedicate V1.5 to LAPD Swat officers Randy Simmons and James Veentra and there families. It is a very sad day in la today.


Heres a link to a news artical.

I don't think a mod is the right place for doing such favours even though I respect the job of the officer that has been killed in action. And what would you udnerstand under "dedicate a mod to"? How would you think to do that?

I agree with Stan. Although it is a very sad loss in the emergency services community worldwide. I feel that perhaps a memorial should be made via website but as Stan said a mod is not the right place

Hey Hoppah, sorry for posting this here but it isn't really a glitch. In La Mod 1.4, both the National Guard Humvee and National Guard Truck are called National Guard Humvee. That can easily be fixed(and you probably have already).

@ MikesPhotos: are you able to get a picture of the bar without the colored tops? I like that style consistent with the fact that LEDs do not require a colored lens to produce color. Thats one of the huge pluses, clear lens with color LEDs provide brighter lights with a lower profile.
Haha, very sad that CA doesn't light up there fleet like those videos. There's no fun in a just a few lights. :police:


Heres 2 pictures from an area department...hard to find, i would say that in MA, 75% of the departments that upgraded lightbars went to the Liberty.

The liberty and whelen in general is very popular in the south and east compared to the west coast. Federal Signal and Code 3 have had a lock on the equipment out here for quite some time now, especially with the reluctance of many departments to go all strobe. In regards to the colored tops, all of the bars have them to distinguish the cars from similar model and style security firms. With LED, you can no longer instantly see the amber of non-police vehicles, and the red and blue of Law Enforcement which is troublesome in and of itself. By keeping the colored tops, it allows one more piece for instant recognition for the public and everyone else.

Yea, if I was a betting man I'd say that by 2010 overhead strobes will be obsolete. They draw a hell of a lotta amps.

maybe change a skin on one of the swat vehicles or add a sign or flag ingame for it at the police station.

fly the flags at half staff in the game maybe? and have an empty LAPD slicktop decked out as a memorial car? Parked near the flagpole at the police station? Maybe even have a "sign" with the pic of the officer and flowers around it, like a memorial... Or maybe make an area near the PD a "memorial area"

No disrespect to the fallen officer at all, he was truly a hero. But I also fail to see the worth in making a tribute inside the mod.

I'd agree. A website would be a better idea and would get more attention.

I have a suggestion..

In my game.. I see that like when I tell a cop to drive quickly to a place with sirens, it does.. but if it's unlucky, some ambulance that is on patrol is blocking is way and the cop car won't just drive beside the ambulance and infront of it.. this way.. it takes a lot of time.

i think you should make the pathfinding for cars etc better and quicker and more effective so they can arrive on scene more quickly..also.. what exactly is the point of that PD chief car? by the time you send that you can just send trucks to that place to take care of the situtation then anything else neccessary.. :P it would be fun if PD chief car had a better use.. like a freeplay mision.. it's about to collapse or something a building.. and you gotta call that and it bring sunits n stuff...dunno.. sorry for the way of writing i feel like shit today.

Oh yeah and hoopah just another little thing for 1.6 LAPD swat has phased out the Mp5 for quite some time now. They now use an assortment of of shotguns, pistols, and of course the m-4.

No problem. The biggest difference is that the battalion chief has radio commands to call units from the fire station or on patrol. I know what you mean, it doesn't really matter if you use the chief or not. Maybe I can make the car of the chief faster and add the possible to patrol the city. :)

Exactly, do whatever you think is best and if you want. Thank you! ;)

I assume there is no way you can fix the other thing? Like, police cars driving to a scene with sirens being stuck behind patrolling ambulance.. then they just keep driving behind.. if it was a civilian the civilian would just stop. I do not know what is possible or not but you know more than me perhaps you can see if there is anything you can do for emergency cars to get to scene faster? For instance, civilians moving away faster when they hear siren from distance..All up to you, just some ideas from me :P

Being a firefighter I am definately one to salute our fallen brothers and sisters, but I don't think that it would be a great idea inside the game especially being this happened a day ago. Maybe a few of us can create a website from the Emergency community.
