Looks very solid.
Since i've visited Miami once this is going to very fun to experience.
Do you plan to add real fire houses? In that case, Fire Station 8 would fit very well on top of the map. Got 1 engine,1 rescue( ambulance) and 1 battalion. So the fire station model would be decent for it.

EDIT: Station 8 was quite far up in North Miami beach, so forget about it

Looking forward to see the result later on!

The firehouses are just all random units so far, due to the fact noone in Miami seem to have a video camera and there's very little about the units online I'm kinda just making it semi fictional.

 

The map is just a generic mix of all of Miami, (Beach, Strip, Ghetto) and then the units are just randomly assigned to houses in areas of the map.

So will people be able to play your Miami map if they couldn't play the Manhattan Mod?

[Dyson]

Yes, no GTA buildings in this map, plus it wont be anywhere near as densely packed with buildings

 

edit: Just another random update, another screen from work on the map

Retextured both the original engines from the game and changed their ride heights, only subtle but I think it does more justice to the models

They are looking even more brutal with new wheels.   And actually i was doing a skin on 35 fom a photo.

Dyson, i dont know if you've found this but this link has the Miami-Dade Fire Staions, and which units they house-

I know that not all the stations are in the City of Miami, but anyways....

I'm in Miami!

I can see what I can do if you tell me what you need

Work in progress ladder

 

Cab - Bama

Body - helijumper

Skin - Me

 

Still gotta do a lot of work on it yet, this project is my first plunge into 3D edits though so it's a learning experience (usually I work with a 3D modeler haha)

 

Any thoughts/feedback welcome as ever.

Based on Ladder 22 MDFR (skin needs to be adjusted to 22)

Great job so far. I personally feel a better lightbar would do these models justice.

[Fred03]

Ladder looks great! And Miami is not famous for having great lightbars but I'm sure their will be further edits on that model.

Yeah all the units are going to get tweaked more but for now I've got a working ladder which is what I wanted. Back I map edits, it's still coming nicely pace is slow because I'm trying to make the map feel dynamic in a sense that each area is different and realistic rather than just buildings copied and pasted all over the map.

I'm currently working on an area near the main avenue of the map, this avenue is surrounded by retail areas various shopping outlets. Then as we move away from the main avenue the area will turn more into residential. Then the beach front is mainly tourist/leisure etc.

That's the plan anyway but peoples opinions and suggestions will go a long way in making this map feel better. What kind of stuff do you want to seeap wise? For example I really liked the default LA map but it had a small feel to it so I've tried to cram as many streets into this as possible .

Great! My map suggestions are as follows:
A very small coast guard base (perhaps at the bottom of the map) with a response boat and a helipad for the USCG helicopter
3 or 4 fire stations with realistic units (someone posted a good link to that earlier on this topic)
1 or 2 lifeguard stations on the beach
1 main police station with a smaller substation if possible.

[TacticalRooster22]

I love the new ladder!  And yeah, I checked out that website and it seemed like every station had just a rescue (ambulance) and either a ladder or an engine.  Some of them just had an ambulance and no other trucks, so it would be a good idea to make a few stations for realism's sake.

I'm thinking regards the lifeguard station, just a simple tower liek they usually have on the beach, but with space for a beach rescue vehicle to be parked and setup a script for it to park there. But nothing like a heli pad, that just seems excesive for a small stretch of beach haha! I've also got a sketchup model of Miami PD on Miami Beach, its pretty big so it'll just be the one PD station. As for Fire stations, I'm thinking perhaps 3 maybe 4 small houses, that way I can recycle the script from my Manhattan Mod which is setup for 4 FS.

 

As for hospital, I'm not sure whether to have a hospital or the stryker stretcher, I don't think both scripts will work well together, as it uses a whole new stretcher system which would mess up the hospital script. But yeah plenty of food for thought thanks for getting a discussion going

 

Anyway here's a mcdonalds I've just finished, part of the retail area next to the avenue I mentioned earlier. About to add a stripmall and a few other shops then I'm going to start the lifeguard station.
