No, because the script is not yours. It's a very small modification.

oke, then i hold it by this.

Yes, I am not Hoppah, but I can answer for him

Since the Engines(1 & 2) now have the water cannon, the Water Tender was not nessecary. It is still in game, however, just it isn't at any station, it has been replaced with USAR because that has different functions.

Hoppah, If I mistated anything wrong here, could you correct me, but I am pretty sure I am right

[Mrtucker555]

it doesnt really take much fun out of the game

[Mrtucker555]

did you know that you can disable the water cannons on the engines

[Mrtucker555]

oh yea no prob

[Madman]

I believe the biggest factor for the removal was the fact that LAFD only has 3 or 4 water tenders, so it is a very rarely used apparatus. With the removal of the jaws from the Engines, it makes more sense to have a USAR Squad available to provide extraction tools.

yea the usar trucks gonna be crazy

bearing in mind that the water tender used in game is a foam tender in real life.

It's also renamed to Foam Tender in v1.7.


Kiddynote:
That doesn't mean it sprays foam now...
Foam is made of water. The foam tender in real life is also capable of spraying water only.
And no, it's NOT possible to create foam in this game.

Hey Hoppa;
Just a quick question. Any reason you took away the water Tenders at Station 1? Just curious.

Thanks

Newfoundking is right, this USAR Squad has different equipment like the jaws of life.
And the LAFD doesn't use the foam tender in real life very often.

edit:
Forgot to add the LAX Crash Tender to the unit pages on my website, so I just added it under LAFD.
Hit F5 (=refresh) if you can't find it.

And no, it's possible to create foam in this game.

okay, I'm not sure if I read this right, but you said IT's possible as in like you can do it. Now is this a typo or can you actually...
Because I've never seen a way to do it... but I could just be overlooking something

Typo, forgot the word 'not'.

[Newfoundking]

Okay, makes more sense, I was very very confused for a second, I was thinking like wait, there can be foam, how??

okay, thanks for the clarification Hoppah

[Hoppah]

What is the LA "van"? The 2nd EM4 car in the police. What car can transport a lot of detainees? And what is the best tactic for demonstrations?

Thanks

sigh... read that

And maybe the best news! Here's the BETA version of the manual for the Los Angeles mod v1.7!
Download link: LAMOD_manual_BETA.pdf (right click 'Save target as' works the best)
Size: 2,7 MB

Notes:
It's a BETA version, what means this version will not come with LA MOD v1.7, because we still need to add some texts and fix mistakes.
This manual is created for version 1.7. A lot has been changed, so do not report things like 'vehicle x is missing equipment'.
I released the manual so people have something to read before I will release the real Los Angeles mod v1.7.
The manual links to files of v1.7 which are not online ofcource (mission patch v1.7 for example).
It's forbidden to upload the BETA manual somewhere else.

Demonstrations: Throw flashbang(s).

[Madman]

Hey Hoppah, just reading through the manual and noticed this:

Holding left or right shift when calling a vehicle will send the called vehicle without lights and sirens.

This is great. Sometimes you don't need an Engine or Ambulance to come screaming to the scene, so this is really cool for realism inside the game.

I'm guessing they will still pass other cars though, correct? Is there anyway to have them drive with the same speed at other traffic when their lights and sirens aren't on and then speed up if you do activate the lights?

Also, could you only call the aerial without lights and sirens by holding control and shift when you click the button?
