The cops with fire extinguishers will be useful!

In real life, they do have them if I'm not mistaken. Usually, the police are the fastest to respond to a car accident or a minor call that may involve something catching fire. So at least while LAPD is waiting for EMS and FD to arrive, they can prevent the collided cars from exploding


Hoppah, I have an idea for a v1.5 mission: Something similar to the famous North Hollywood Shootout, where LAPD have to respond to a bank robbery-turned-hostage situation.

PD with extinguishers will be a nice addition. An incident that stands out in my mind is from a few years back where a driver noticed smoke and coming from the engine compartment of his vehicle and decided to pull into the gas station as opposed to parking across the street in what was then a wide open dirt field. The Huntington beach PD were first on scene, even though this was next door to the CHP Westminster office, and expended 3 extinguishers before Orange County Fire Authority's Truck 64 (a 75 ft non tiller rear mount quint) arrived on scene. You can see a couple of pics of it here. I mostly took video that day which i still need to upload.

Also in response to the Los Angeles Air Force Base, you are quite right in saying that F-15's do not fly out of there. In fact, nothing does! Unlike most air force bases, this one does not include any aircraft but is the west coast home of the Space and Missile center. In addition to their role in developing ICBM's and other military missiles, they have accomplished many achievements in peaceful meterology and navigational systems.

You're right in saying that the nearest location to find an F15 would be Edwards AFB. Named after Test Pilot Glenn Edwards, Edwards is home to the USAF's Flight Test Center and is also the west coast landing site of the Space Shuttle. While not having a Fighter Wing permanently assigned, you can find virtually any and every aircraft in the US arsenal there at one time or another.

But in game it'd add a great element and can't wait to see it!

Some ideas for the freeplay map.

I've edited my own map so that units called from off screen take a more realistic amount of time to show up and don't just magically appear on the map edge. I personally like the realism this adds and was thinking you should incorporate this into the mod itself.

Police vehicles now take longer to show up inside the Police station, (which is good as well), but was thinking the CHP and LASD units should also come from off screen for additional realism. Perhaps a new entry point from the East side of the map?

Not possible. There are vehicle types and each vehicle type has its own entry point (and/or exit). All patrol cars share the same vehicle type.

I just finished the ground texture for the forest fire mission. It's going to be a large mission, because the map has the size of the freeplaymap! Creating this map was a lot of work and quite stressful (my pc has troubles with large images), but I managed to create a nice map.

Preview (scaled down from original):

Size of original: 8192 x 8192 pixels (that's more than 66 million pixels total! lol)
You can see the airforce base on the left. There is a lake above it. You can also see where the houses of the village will be positioned. Fire will start somewhere on the bottom.

I don't have editor screens yet. I am going start with placing objects tomorrow.
