Why did you make from the light in the slicktop an Steady burn
(I think it looks awfull )
First off, this post was moved because asking a question and saying it looks awful is neither an idea nor a suggestion.
Second, use the search button for steady burn and you'll find hundreds of posts answering your question. The concise answer, if you don't feel like being bothered to search, is realism.

As Mike said it is there because it is like that in real life. The slicktop cruisers in California, if I am correct, require a steady burn light. Perhaps Mike could back me up on that?Why did you make from the light in the slicktop an Steady burn

Because the fire engine's have a watercannon now, I am probably going to replace the watertender with the USAR squad in fire station 1.
And I am going to make some equipment changes, because LAFD engine's do NOT carry extrication gear (jaws of life) and a jump bag in real life. The USAR squad and LACoFD Heavy Equipment Squad will carry them and you need to call one of them to get people out of crashed cars.

You are correct, and there is no need to back you up, like I said, if he really wants to know, he can use the search button We're trying to promote that as much as possible these days.
All emergency vehicles in California require 1 steady burn red light that is visible up to 1 mile away
Actually it's 1000 feet per the California Vehicle Code section 25252. or 0.189393939 miles if you prefer
No, you think Battalion Chiefs patrol the streets in real life?
Only for the nearest Starbucks and take out Chinese!

Hey guys & hoppahI've changed the Ford Crown Victoria patrol car.
It has three doors now and some other things are changed (like the headlights) or added (antenna & trunk).

Excellent choice Hoppah!! This is really going to add to the mod, great work.Because the fire engine's have a watercannon now, I am probably going to replace the watertender with the USAR squad in fire station 1.

Can you tweak the number of firefighters called for the aerial. Right now, the initial alarm calls 2 and then evey other alarm calls 4. I know how to edit the script, but think you should change it permanently in the game so there is only ever 2 firefighters called for the aerial.
Another question about the aerial - is the current light bar accurate?
Keep up the outstanding work.

Really? I've never had that happen to me. The truck has always been staffed with 2. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the FFs having tools. Do the 2 get out of the rig if they have equipment in their hands? I'm wondering if perhaps that's the problem is that they don't get out, and the game doesn't register the truck as being "full" so it adds the 2 others.
Another question about the aerial - is the current light bar accurate?
Keep up the outstanding work.
The aerial in its entirety isn't accurate. LAFD does not have any quints, nor does it have any non-tillered trucks, nor does it have any tower/basket rigs.

Haha, I forgot about those little details Mike. The reason I was asking is that I'm not a big fan of the vector style lightbar on the current aerial. It would be very cool if simply for the sake of change and visual modernization that a new light bar, (led?), be put on the aerial.

In the call ladder function in LaBatallionChief.script:
if (passengers.GetNumPersons() == 0) { v.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_NEWLIST, DUMMY_CALLFF, Caller, 2, false); v.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, DUMMY_CALLFF, Caller, 2, false); v.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, DUMMY_CALLFF, Caller, 2, false); v.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, DUMMY_CALLFF, Caller, 2, false);
Looks like he copied and pasted it from the CallFiretruck code
Of course for Light force config there should be 5 on the truck and 1 in the engine, so its closer to correct as is

You will find several different code blocks started by an "object" statement, such as:
object PcmdCallLadder : CommandScript
The code between that object statement and the next one is the code for that command, and each "Pcmd" represents a button command on the Chief, such as summon fire engine, fire ladder, ambulance, etc.
Inside each of those codeblocks you'll find "If(VehcileCalled)" -- this part of the code is what is executed if a truck is about to respond.
if (passengers.GetNumPersons() == 0) { v.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_NEWLIST, DUMMY_CALLFF, Caller, 2, false); v.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, DUMMY_CALLFF, Caller, 2, false); v.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, DUMMY_CALLFF, Caller, 2, false); v.PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, DUMMY_CALLFF, Caller, 2, false); v.PushActionWait(ACTION_APPEND, 9.0f); if (passengers.GetNumPersons() == 0) { v.PushActionWait(ACTION_APPEND, 3.0f); } }
The first line checks to see if the number of persons on board is 0, if it is, it spawns the firefighters and sends them to the truck. Each one of the DUMMY_CALLFF lines calls 1 FF, and paramedics have a similar line, so each vehicle will have a different set of those lines.
Anyway the CallEngine cmd and the CallLadder cmd have the same code for calling firefighters, thus they both end up with 4.
