Thank you for your post. I appreciate all the kind words and I'm sure itchboy does as well.

I apologize if I offended you with my previous comments, I believe I mistook what you were saying to be demeaning/demanding as opposed to just making suggestions.

As for your suggestions, I'm not sure if we have any Caprices or older Crown Vics planned but I do know Itchboy is doing that Dodge Intrepid and we're going to keep the existing older units already in the mod. Version 3.0 will have new models that are both retro and modern day, but most importantly it will be more accurate to the real life units found in that area.

Yes, i'm glad to see we're resolved this misunderstanding. I will play with this mod more and will try to do more posts, useful or just interesting.

Monida Pass PD is getting a 97 crown vic because people voted for it. The current poll also has a 90s Tahoe or Suburban as the front runner for PD SUV.

This FCV is my favorite vehicle ever. I voted for 1996 Cherokee just because it's more rare vehiclle, but also in my opinion Chevrolet Suburban 1992-1999 is very good-looking in Law Enforcement liveries, last year i did set of police/sheriff/etc suburbans for GTA V based on GTA5Korn model.

I break my promise because I found version 2.0.1 in the Internet and going to share my impressions.
Let's start from the atmosphere. It's perfect. Remind's me Hometown track in Need For Speed High Stakes. This MPPD units based on early 2000's cars looking great. I love all 80's- early 00's emergency units mainly and will glad to see more such vehicles in this mod. Game world is too looking very cool. Real american rural scene, which so rare in games. Mostly game world inpired big and famous cities. Emergency 4 Modding Community not an exception from this rule, most known mods is NYC and LA.

Also map creators paid many attention to small, but pretty and nice details, like this road sign. t's little bricks, from which builded so great atmosphere. I love it.

I also liked the realism of situations. Wife beat husband, run from home, cops arrived, caught her, EMS drive husband to the hospital. I asked yourself, maybe i should call one more police car vehicle and drive away kids too? Just for roleplaying. In this moment i note a man, which entered a building. It's their relative and he can take care about them (man in brown suit on last picture) .

When i opened unit menu, i asked question, why there is boat unit, this map haven't any big lakes or powerful rivers.  At that time, I noticed only small ditches with water.
I understood my mistake after this MVA. I saved pedestrian and Prius driver, removed vehicle and leaved to other callout. Then i notice, MVA callout not ended. With horror i get back to MVA scene.

After reconnoitering the area, I found that I had missed a car that had flown into the water. Driver unfortunately was already dead, i wasted too many time.

Apparently the night of the witches was approaching. The problems did not end. I tried to call the coroner. One person arrived who could not do anything. I asked for two coroners, four people came with two stretchers, they took the deceased driver away. The coroner that arrived first I had to be wounded with a pistol shot and taken to the ambulance so there would not be too much point on the radar. The first van was taken away by the newly arrived coroners.
This callout was one which i failed.

Other callout was green in game but red in real. Other MVA. I equiped fireman with life-jaws and made he drive this nice small red pickup.

Police work perfectly, they bordered MVA scene, fireman puted out the nascent fire. But firefighter with life-jaw wasn't able to cut vehicles. I have two possible answers on question "why?". First - bug, second - feature (it is volunteer fireman and possible haven't skills to work with it). Anyway, I had to call the BCFD and they already cut the cars. Unfortunately these drivers were already dead. Although the beginning was very good.

However, the coolest unit in my opinion anyway, this small fire truck. It's old-fashioned, fast, but at the same time functional. He cope with small fires and assistant functions to other services.

After a couple of hours of playing, I learned how local services are called through dispatchers. Yes, it's like LA Mod, but LA Mod haven't volunteer fire station. Now I try to reduce the use of county, state and federal rescue services, bypassing town services like MPPD and local fire station. Limited resources is nice feature. But MHP posts on city limits is good to have. In case of grand theft auto, for example, idk about this callout possibility.

Yes, mod sometimes crash and had some bugs like missing police station roof or situation where attempt of manually (without stretchers) pick up of injured man with spineboard available and make many errors with ability to don't close game. Anyway it really cool modification, which possible haven't analogue.

As conclusion, some my suggestions for future. Add more old-fashioned units from 90's and early 00's, like 1991-1996 Chevrolet Caprice and 1992-1997 Ford Crown Victoria, retextured vintage ambulance from LA mods for local and county agencies. More modern impalas and 1998+ FCV can be given to state troopers and FBI. I already see vintage fire trucks ITT and like it. Mod is going to be pretty nice and domestic. Something for soul. Not noisy megapolis, but little "hometown" where human life value is more higher. Hope this review will useful and dilute the negative mass reviews from people which can't play with some bugs for good atmosphere.

People already did shame us for bugs and issues back in 2015, and we dont intend on repeating that same mistake.

Shame modder for buggy mod.. It is so stupid. In this logic better have no mod than have mod with bugs.

And what are you doing to contribute? .... (crickets)

As Itchboy said, we did in fact receive a lot of complaints about the instability and bugs of our last release. That's why we're taking our time for the next release. This has been stated multiple times in this thread already.

Making a complete mod for Em4 takes an immense amount of time, hard work, learning, trial and error. I've been doing it for 10 years and I still have things to learn. We do it for free. We have personal lives which take priority. So unless you're going to pay my salary, frankly, put up or shut up.

Asking for release dates is against site rules. Demanding a release is no better. Besides that, it's not even relevant for this mod, since we have guaranteed a release will come and we try to post regular updates. I'm not sure if you've been warned already, but I can promise I will make sure that any future comments of this nature see administrative action taken.

I'm surprised to see so angry reaction for simple question. Are you think i care about administrative actions? On account with one post and two (after this post more) minuses? Do not make me laugh.

Now I learned that the local community is very fastidious and will bully developers for having any bugs and unstable mods. Well done, let them sit without content further.

You can report this post now, also you can shame me again and say me "shut up" one more time for getting more pluses. I wish you luck with development (no sarcasm, mod is look magnificent), i'll be back next year.

Emergency 4 community looking like strip-club. There is many great and beautiful mods like this or Miami and Zagorsk for example, but they are in permanent development stage of five or even ten years, without any download links but with giant ammount of teasing media content. For example i enter this site one time in year already ~6 years and don't see any epic changes. Except US Army mod, nothing real global and public.

Do releases, guys, nobody will shame you for some bugs.
