Hey everyone,
my first idea, is a question/ idea about a redesign of the Red cross hummer. I'm not from LA so i could be totaly wrong, but I have never seen a Red cross hummer in my neck of the US. What we have in the midwest is volenteers who drive there own cars, with flags and red dash lights. Also they use some van's and most of the time I see Red cross converted ambulances, that become Disaster Relief vehicles. I think it would be cool to have a modified ambulance as the red cross vehicle. Also insted of the normal parametics maybe red cross workers with the red jackets, also i know in our area after a disaster they help to set up flood lights etc... so maybe add the enginer but again modify him having a red jacket and only able to set up lights.
Red cross hummers have been the big deal since just after Katrina. Type Red Cross and Hummer into google and you can read the press releases and such of all the donations and programs throughout the US. We also have the POVs and the DRVs as well for rehab and civilian services during fires and disasters.
One thing that might be better then such a massive revamp, would be to reskin the vehicle or remove it and replace it with the
Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency SUV. During a disaster or large scale incident, the EMSA will transport additional Doctors, Nurses, and Emergency Medical Personnel as well as set up mobile field hospitals in conjunction with FEMA DMATs.
LACoEMSA is the parent organization in charge of all EMS in Los Angeles County, including LAFDs.
my second idea is about adding the police serch lights on to the sheriff, L.A. or highway patrol vehiles. I am talking the very bright normally halogen white lights that the police can turn on, which are normally just below the light bar on the roof of the car. I am sure its part of the light bar but that is the location it sits. I have seen them both on the front, back and sides of the light bars, but most often i see them only on the sides. maybe have it as a button to turn on?
The forward facing clear lights on lightbars are known as "take downs" if they steady burn, and sometimes known as pursuit lights when they flash. At the corners on bars like the MX7000 or Vista, you can have sweeping lights known as pursuit lights if they sweep 90 degrees, or intersection lights at 120 degrees. Fixed lights on the sides are known as alley lights and can also be set up to flash.
As for clear lights to the rear, I've never seen any set up like that though I have heard of some depts having intersection lights back there, but I've never seen it without a colored filter anywhere in the US that I've been.
In the game, check out the LAPD with the arjent lightbar and you can see the flashing takedowns and other lights as well. Intersections on the mx7k or a vista would be hardly visible, and the multifunction clear lights on the Smart Vision of the CHP is already set up for the proper rotate.
If you're looking for a spot light kind of function, the problem with that is that it would have to be attached to the special light function with the arrow bar. We've already seen how bad the lighting engine is in the game, just put two ambulances next to each other and use their flood lights and you can't see anything. Imagine multiple police cars all with their arrows on to direct traffic amongst other vehicles and having the takedowns, doorpost spots, and such on. .
Hey,
i guess this is the right topic for vehicle suggestions too.
I suggest this Hummer for your (awesome) modification:

Please read through the last couple of pages, that vehicle has already been discussed a few times very recently. The game currently models the correct version of brush patrols used by the LAFD. There were 2 hummers in service at one point but 1 rolled, and the other was removed and given to the Museum.
