The only problem I had running it on Win7 was I had to manually edit the screen resolution in the config file. Didnt have to make it compatible with Win2K or anything.

Hmmm... I haven't had a resolution problem... Care to elaborate on what happened?

I defiantly have the traffic problem on the bridge.

Off topic: right when I was typing this, DirecTV called, and it sounded just like my dad, so, I asked if it was my dad messing around. The guy didn't do anything except keep trying to sell me the sports package XDXDXD ok, back to topic.

So just stop re-directing until it gets fixed.

Traffic on the L.A bridge stops when you re-direct traffic, causing a huge problem that can lead to 1/2 of the map being cut off, meaning, if you have an emergency, that persons dead. Or gets away. Or the fire gets extremely out of control.

I think the traffic jams only happen when you redirect traffic. It can't be redirected again.

This is some thing I been wondering for ages. That is one of my game play issues...

Why the "Jaws of Life" not on any other LAFD units? You always have to call the CoFD Equipment truck.
I find it odd that the LAFD not having some kind of equipment truck or carry the jaws on one of the engines?

Other than that... The "Oil Rig Fire" mission is too hard to get a 100% with Ver. 1.9
I think back in Ver. 1.5 it was easier some how... One problem is getting to tech guy on the Rid. Because no tech copter.
Their has to be some kind of engineer that can be deploy by copter. Not sure LAFD has a engineer that trained as a Fireman too.

But I know Military such as the Coast Guard and Army. Would have a trained engineer to handle things like Dams and Oil Rigs.

Realism. Apparently in LA the engines don't carry them.

[Newfoundking]

The engines do not carry them, Ladder trucks, USAR Trucks, and rescue trucks carry them

Ok there are Traffic Jams, and it gets really annoying when you try to redirect a car, but it wont move. Just stays there. This happens every now and then and it might be a bug.

I know its not a multiplayer bug, because I tried the L.A map in freeplay and eventually when theres a jam and you try to redirect a certain car it wont turn around just stays there. Nothings blocking it, its just being stubborn. Uaually to fix it I have to move my cop car, let 3 cars pas, then the cars will start to redirect.

Any fixes for this?

We don't carry them on the BLS because it's made as a solid firefighting engine, with basic supplies on board. ALS, US&R, and ladders carry them, because their more used for rescue/life saving. Also, not on smaller units, because of the hydraulic lines.

The engines do not carry them, Ladder trucks, USAR Trucks, and rescue trucks carry them

And ALS.

Here in Southern California engines only carry cutters and spreaders (Jaws of life) if they don't have a truck in there district. LAFD will usually respond a Ladder truck or a USAR team for any type of TC (traffic collision) because they have all the tools needed for an extrication. They can always be canceled if not needed. Although the game only uses the Jaws, in real life we use tools such as cribbing and airbags to lift cars if needed. These tools are usually kept on these units. This leaves room on the engines so that there compartments aren't cluttered. My department only has engines and one heavy rescue so we keep the Jaws on each engiene so that we aren't waiting for our one rescue to show up. If it is a more advanced rescue, we can start until the rescue shows up with additional tools.
So this is done in the game to make it realistic


I'm almost positive that the coast guard chopper has a tech in it. you just have to let him out. the guy in it can act as a tech

You got here before I did XD in city, it's carried on ALS due to the fact that a ladder is harder to get through heavier traffic, and to park close enough. US&R's are stationed around seldomly, so, unless a US&R is close, or it's life threatening, other vehicles must be equipped to do the job. Time is an enemy in injury.
You are 100% correct sir!
That's especially an issue on the 10, Rescue can't always get to the freeway as fast, so, we have our paramedic license, so we can 1. pop doors, cut roofs 2. Start immediate resuscitation. Big city=more usage of equipment, but 1 thing that I don't think is completely portrayed, even though it's a game is, all LAFD firefighters must be Paramedics. Even if you have an EMT cert, they put you in Paramedic school, because otherwise, your not in the LAFD. No FF/EMT's, all FF/Paramedics. Just not with bags on all of us XD

When you get time you should point out these paths to Hoppah, or screen shots for those of us who do custom edits.

I had black bars running down the sides of the screen no matter what resolution i used.

I used to be one of those guys. It sucks but the money is really good. Made Minimum wadge but for every sell you make you get $15 up front commission and another $5 once the installer activates there service. One sale a day and your bringing home almost $400 a week for talking on the phone all day. Actually talked to a FF from Cali one time and we were talking about Em4 and the La mod LMAO!

And ALS.

Since when, mikesphotos hasnt been around for a bit but last he said they werent carried on the ALS rigs(i think).

[nfspdf]

Really bad traffic jams .You can't move anywere .You can't get anywere .I have tryed eveything from cops moving traffic to dirbar on cop cars dude it is really bad .Eather downsize on the cars and truck on the streets our do something .But all I can say about the mod is sweet .All the new cars .Wow .What a great job now that feals like US.Great work .

[randomperson139]

Cars cause traffic james when they are redirected. If you don't want traffic jams then don't redirect traffic

[Xplorer4x4]

I have no major traffic problems caused by redirecting. Hell I rarley have traffic issues ever so im totally lost as to how people are still having such major issues with the second patch.
