so it wouldn't be possible to let the fire fighters make a water supply for the foam tender....made someone could make a command for the fire fighters....again.....

There wouldn't be a water supply with a set amount of water exactly. Instead in order to connect discharge hoses and use the deck guns on the foam tender it would have to be connected to two or three engines. It would still have an unlimited amount of water, because it's impossible to have a limited water supply.

I think it was the London mod that was able to connect engines to hydrants and such.

It's not impossible to have a limited amout of water. The Winterberg mod has a limited amout of water so the hoses stop working unless you connect it to a fire hydrant.

Well it doesn't matter because Hoppah has said limiting the water will only cause frustration.

Also, Hoppah, are you going to change the roof of the Pierce heavy rescue also now?

Yes, I got the photos and all the information I need. Thanks to Mikesphotos.

[MCERT1]

Glad to see you found the pics.
I also have walkarounds and roof pics for the other two police ones too...

If you ever need help finding pics just let me know, I've got a big list of sources going.

As said time and time again on this board whenever this suggestion comes up, the answer is... No.

YOU are the dispatcher! It is your job in the game to decide the best units to respond to a call based on what units are currently in station, location on the map of the call, and current call load. Do you respond an ALS Engine or RA, Do you deplete your area of Fire Companies, or maybe call for a county squad from off map due to the location, are most of your units already tied up in a certain part and you want to leave an engine in station just in case a fire breaks out nearby? With the concept of ALS Engines, ALS and BLS Rescues, Engines and Light Forces, there is virtually no limit to the different combination's you can muster for each and every call. For the Cardiac arrest, what if it is in a part of the map where a Squad or ALS Engine is closer? Do you want to wait for the ALS RA that might be tied up on a different call? In the end, what units go where is up to you and that's one of the greatest challenges of the game, and one of the most realistic aspects as well. The best strategy and utilization of units wins.

I just think it would be easier that you can dispatch 3 trucks at once instead of one at a time like you have to do.

Well, if you use the light force command a truck and an engine will be called.

Im an air force firefighter i play with foam too much and u can attach hoses and use the deck gun and only attach to a fire hydrant it depends on how much your pumping out and it depends on how much is coming in so thats not necessarily true and i assure u that u wont ever see three engines attached to a foam tender

[Luisinho]

Looking good!

[FortErieFireEli]

Well, according to section 12 of this LAFD training bulletin, the foam tender should be supplied with two 4" lines at the minimum. Keep in mind the LAFD foam tenders don't carry water or pumps. Section 2 states that the foam tenders can discharge up to 4000 GPM. Now each LAFD engine can pump 1500 GPM max, so in order for the foam tender to discharge it's 4000 GPM, three engines would be required. Furthermore, section 13 says that if a foam tender is needed, at least two should be requested. Now I understand that there are few situations where you would need 4000 GPM from at least two foam tenders, but I wouldn't think it would be uncommon to see two engines supplying each foam tender.

@ Hoppah, looks great! Are there any other vehicles that don't have an accurate roof (or any part for that matter)?

I see you chose to omit the white middle section of the lightbar.

Also, are you going to add lights to the side of the engines and the battalion chief SUV where the reflectors are modeled but there is no light?

Nice work Hoppah, hope to play v2.0 soon.

[Fuzzyface]

Looking very tidy


I'll apologise firstly 'cause I don't wanna anger you here, but in future releases are you contemplating scripting out some new missions?

I understand modding takes a very long time and right now the focus is units and maps, just interested was all

Again, i'm not trying to bait anything out of you, just wondered if it was on the table for V5.0

(Feel free not to answer me by the way)
