hoppah is't possible to change the text that form the begin of a mission for 1.7?
because in some mission say it "the FBI want you" but we can now control the FBI so that is strange.
Will you change that in for example in NSA or any other higher agency? or even the goverment??

thank you

FBI, CIA, NSA = government (agencies)

Even though we can control the FBI it still realistic. The FBI would alert the local emergency services.

Who would put they unit on a higher alert. The FBI would not have enough people to cover the entire area themselves.

I have one old suggestion and it was for one unmmarked car with one rotary blue/red light

In LA mod for EM3, FBI gyes have 2 cars. For some update in LA mod for EM4 you can used FBI car and little to modify. And FBI will be have 2 cars. One with LED light and one with ROTARY

Thanx

I highly doubt that the LAPD uses european lights.

Oooh I know, a more complete Police station, with a control panel. Hit a button and the SWAT team comes out, hit a button and the bomb squad jumpsi n there vehicle. Stuff like that. Also maybe "upgrades" until you get the baton upgrade Police have a harder time fist to fist arresting. Until you get the "handgun" upgrade no handgun. Maybe a tazer upgrade .

[Zallomallo]

Thad be cool, but not very balanced. And I doubt a live saving organization would use them. Also I think death by MP5s should leave the target 1/3 to 2/3s of injured bar left. And finally: a new unit, LASD Prison Guard, a guy that is slightly(think USFS firemen slight) different from the normal LASD officer. He can go in the bus, and is used mostly for RP reasons.

You're suggestions won't add anything to the game and/or aren't possible or would just be really frustrating if added. Do you people ever think about the suggestions before you post them?

I'm sorry not everyone on here follows your viewpoint and knows all about modding EM4. And yes I did think about my suggestions.

[Zallomallo]

I agree, and I think its been suggested before, if not then I will go jump out of my window.

Let me start off by posting 2 admin comments.

FIRST: This is not your personal bitch rag. If someone says something to you that you do not like, report it and reply via pm. I've spent the last hour deleting tons of bitches back and forth between members and I will say this right now... That Kind Of Behavior Will NOT Be Tolerated On This Forum! We have a PM function and a report function for a reason. USE IT and knock off the back and forth.

SECOND: USE the pm function. If you have a question or comment about someone elses work, like the edited undercover cars, or such... PM them!!!! This is the Central Suggestions/Ideas thread, not a place for people to talk amongst each other.

now then....

FPS/Homeland Security police

Hey Hoppah, how about adding this vehicle.
http://farm3.static...._77d025069f.jpg

The DHS/FPS and FBI Police are federal security officers. They don't really patrol or do anything besides provide security for federal buildings.

FF Paramedics

Ok I know this is not how it is. But what the FF dress paramedic had the paramedic log on back of the turn out gear. I know that not how it is. But to do as you suggest we have to do something to make it easy to tell in the game.

That may be a compromise we look into, please keep the ideas coming regarding this. Each one helps us all figure out if a compromise is worth doing.

i know there is a red helmet group.. ive seen them in LA before. wat is there rank?

Red = Arson Investigator, Orange = Captain.

FBI Sirens

Ok I am trying to take them because I've taken GTA 3 and GTA Vice City. xD
And I have to modify them to remove the sound of car engines and the sound of the environment of the game ^ ^.

The sirens of the FBI are ready.

FBI, DEA, and the few ATF vehicles i've seen in this area all use the Fed Sig smart siren. It sounds nothing at all like the ones you posted, but is identical to the LAPD and just slightly different then the LASD sounds.

LAFD Brush Patrol Hummer

Wow Please HOPPAH make this vehicle to your mod it would be awesome.
HUMMER

It looks nice. But it appears that truck is out of service.

TheParanoid is absolutely correct. As Brian Humphries states, the LAFD Hummers are no longer in service and haven't been for quite some time. LAFD had 2 in service at one point, one being at 109s. The museum was able to aquire one of them, and the other, which had rolled on an incident, might still be on the For Sale block. None are in service.

CDF

Hi, sorry for such a long time with no reply. Thank you for correcting me there are none in LA. Sorry about that but i just joined so i couldn't tell you where every CDF station is . I was on a family trip to LA and I saw a Type III Engine for Cal-Fire in front of an LA station cant remember which one sorry. So i figured "Oh a CDF station." Thanks once again for the reply Mike.

Not a problem. Give it a couple of good summers and you'll know where every station is soon enough, and which ones have the best showers!. Alot of times you'll see CDF rigs stopping off at Local Govt stations for a pit stop due to their long travels to and fro throughout the state. I can't tell you how many times we'd look around for a FS just so we could grab a shower, and use something other then a rest stop bathroom lol.

SCBAs

Could you make the crew of the fire engines wear their SCBA gear when you alarm the engine (or maybe two of the four persons) because I thnik it takes to long to put it on when I need to enter a burning builiding.

I'm not sure how realistic this is, but here in the Netherlands we normally put our gear on in the the vehicle, since that's not possible in EM4 it might be better to have the fire fighters enter the vehicle with SCBA gear in stead of changing into it at the scene.

greetz,

For us, its usually the 2 FF's in the back who suit up enroute, and the capt and engineer get out and suit up.

LAPD Mobile Command Post

Hoppah, for 1.8 or 1.9, how about adding a Los Angeles PD Mobile Command Center
http://farm1.static...._25b5bdcab2.jpg

Just for info, the mobile community centers and command posts are pretty much just rolling desks. Inside is just a place for officers and commanders to huddle around and fill out reports and such. Those small ones are pretty unimpressive.

An LAPD Command Post might just be a good idea though. Even perhaps changing the current large SWAT CP to have some new features like the FBI might allow for much more function and use.

LAPD SWAT

How about a swat stepvan I think they are called,like this...
http://cache.jalopni...06/swatvan1.jpg

He can very old but this is unical vehicle in LAPD Old but most used.

The LAPD does not use that type of vehicle at all for SWAT. Instead they use a mix of plain SUVs and the Armored vehicles.

LAPD Huey

1# LIGHT FORCE 58 *E258* could be a basic fire truck and or reserve engine = my vote for a new unit
2# S.W.A.T. Rescue Vehicle #3 , S.W.A.T. Rescue Vehicle #2 could be moded to this unit
3# lapd huey

The Light Force concept may be included in future versions. It is something I'm personally hoping for. The idea would be to turned Engine 2 into a true 2-Car and when the send fire truck command is issued, both the Truck and 2-Car respond.

As for the Huey, the LAFD old blue huey is no longer flying and hasn't for quite some time. As soon as the new LAFD agustas are in service, the LAPD is hoping to get one of the 412s for their use, but nothing has been decided as of yet.

Monitors

Hoppah, would you be able to make it so we can use Deck guns on the ground? I think they are called moniters. that would be pretty sweet to see in game and helpful on large fires.

The LAFD Wagon Batteries (deck guns) are permanently fixed to the engine. The monitors on the ground are carried by the truck companies and deployed by the Light Force.

[Ami89E1234]

can the coroner's van lights be changed back to blue? unless its unrealistic

[tripel7]

I believe they changed it because of realism.
Here is a light tip, for the planes and helo's.
Correct/fix the navigation (red, green on the side and a white light on the tail, all steady burn) lights, and add the flashing white strobes (on the wingtips and one on the rear , next to the navigation lights) and red beacon lights (up and beneath the fuselage, Or/and on top of the aircrafts tail).
It's very easy to do, And really creates more realism for the choppers and the plane.

Gino

That is correct. Coroners vans in LA all have amber lighting. It is only the Special Operations rigs that have red lights.

[Ami89E1234]

how bout

[Hoppah]

* Hoppah sees the ambulance....

You haven't played the mod at all?
And MAYBE, you should come up with some unique ideas. What's the point of having that Command Vehicle if it can't do a thing?

@ MikesPhotos:
Thanks for your explanations.

[Ami89E1234]

its a little different than the one ingame. i was just tossing an idea around, no need to harp

and the command truck would be really cool, it could be like the FBI command but with fire chiefs
