Thankye, Ideally the truck would have had more lights, particularly to the rear there would've been something more back there but given the truck is a hatchback and in this game the windows are solid it kind of made it tough to really want a light on the backside, so Hoppah did not want one there and I agreed that it probrably would not affect the vehicle too bad... Unfortunate as it is, the liftgate model that seems to only be available for 2007 on is not very friendly to aux lights in this game. Hopefully Hoppah took my advice and made the backside have something going on in the taillights and/or reverse lights just to give it something back there.

Love the toy in black though :1046276313_Up_to_something:

The logo isnt backwards, when hoppah took the screen shot the computer image reflected off a mirror and accidentally got mirrored so it's an illusion that it's incorrect, honest... :1046276313_Up_to_something:

I accidentally mirrored the nose for whatever reason, and unfortuantely I did not give him the repaired version, so blame it on me.

I felt that I was fairly clear as to which Detatchment I was speaking of in my original post but to me it is water under the bridge, I know the USSS is into other things which would require discretion but I was speaking of the Security Details alone, perhaps I should have been more clear in my statement. Since the pictures were from the presidential detail I figured you would assume that is what I was talking about.

Anywho,

Ehhem, Ok buddy the FBI is where the truck is being created for which is not easy to find a single unified setup for... If you read the mod's topic regarding updates to it you would have seen this fact, not to mention that I believe it is mentioned here somewhere as well that the FBI truck is being created. The Secret Service Motorcade Detail IS about show, look at the vehicles used in the fleet, most of which are not on your photography sites anywhere and they are pretty much christmas trees... I know exactly what the US Secret Service is into and had you read the bottom of my reply you would have seen MOTORCADE DUTY. As a matter of fact I do mind you asking me if I am a member of a law enforcement, even though I am in the field you really have no need to know now do you?

I did not compare anything. I simply posted up the pictures to help Hoppah get an idea of the types of integral/interior lights that one federal agency uses. Keep in mind that at the time I was not sure which agency the SUV was being created for. I chose to post up USSS pictures because one can actually see the lights in action compared to the DHS vehicle.

You are wrong in that the Secret Service is “all about show.” One might assume this because of the portrayal of the SS in the media. Yes, the USSS does make sure its presence is known both for protective and politician notability reasons, but keep in mind that presidential protection is not the only task that the USSS is assigned to perform. In addition, the USSS is responsible for the security of National Special Events (i.e. Olympics), investigation of identity theft, financial fraud crimes, missing and exploited children, and school shootings. The USSS needs the same amount of discretion as the FBI when performing such duties.

If you do not mind me asking; are/were you a member of a law enforcement agency?

The new Secret Service vs. the FBI are not very comprable at all, the Secret Service as you can tell love the christmas tree effect on their vehicles since they are all about show it makes sense... Chances are the FBI SUV in the game will have a relatively simple lighting pattern since the FBI is not known for going bezerk on their unmarked units like some other agencies. The DHS truck really isnt of much help since as you can tell from the picture it is a very discreet truck designed to somewhat blend. In all honesty the US Secret Service Presidential Motorcade Division is not the ideal "example" of federal lighting since they are in no way going for discretion in their activities when they are doing their motorcade duties.

I lean towards what hoppah said that it will make the gameplay too frustrating to have to worry about a water level while dealing with a fire in the game even if it were possible to do so. I do not believe it is possible to limit the water flow of the ground vehicles anyway, I believe they hard-coded there to be no limit in the quantity of water they can use.... Placing a water tanker next to a fire engine while perhaps possible is yet another example of making the game more frustrating, after all how do you declare a tanker "close" enough for it to be used and how do you define how many vehicles may be supplied by a tanker.... There are just too many places where questions arise that have no real purpose other than to clutter up the map with more vehicles that in the end honestly a tanker won't be used for anything of use.

Yes, they typically have carrying holsters for the things.. If you look at a taser it has a design that is very similar to a pistol, this was done on purpose so that it would be easy for law enforcement to pick up and use effectively.... So it makes sense they'd also make a carrying holster for it that is easilly handled and acessed so that the thing can be used when it must be. After all, what good is a tool if you cannot get to it when you need it?

Correct. You're up

In short, yes they use the Taser for certain suspects... Most of america law enforcement has started to attempt to purchase them for their "less than lethal" advertised result.

It is a Russian made truck, the name I know it as is 3 letters.

Technically according to american laws regarding copying disks it is illegal, but considering you already owned a copy and you are distributing said copy I see no issues. IF you are american it is illegal to copy things which you own, even if for a personal backup, rediculous to me but none the less a license restriction. Instead most companies offer replacement disks for a minimal fee, typically 5-10 bucks for the cost of a new disk and shipping..

Country, Police Agency, and the truck's name since it is an easy truck...

Royal Dutch Shell Corporation, you need to come up with somethin better than the stupid shell emblem. The Saudis have the Crown Victorias for the same reason so many other Middle Eastern Nations have our cars, they get them from us for one reason or another... I could've sworn the saudis had a different color scheme, not exactly the same as that one.... The middle eastern nations sit on oil, they do not have the wonderous refineries that the west does so they are'nt exactly making out like bandits on fuel since they have to import most of their fuel. I do not follow LNG so you're on your own for which production field it is.

I do not know which one it is, but I am drawn to Yemen even though I know it is probrably wrong. The Vic is not a very popular car there so my guesses are limited to a few nations that may have them in small numbers.

Trust me from first hand experience, that minor issue of the texture is one of the most annoying things to try to do since it is so large you will be looking at weeks if not months of work just to make that look good, ploping down buildings takes time too as well as the events that take place... Finding somoene who wants to waste a ton of their time playing with a paint program to make a 100mb file map is not going to be easy if you can't do it yourself... Yeah the base texture can be that huge before you even convert it to the proper format to put into the game.

Skin, and for the map I only need the texture, because i'm very bad with Fotoshop. And Saterday I will take pics of the station to make a openhouse station in sketchup. And I'm trying to learn Zmodeler from Martijntjuh's video, but I don't no how to put blueprints in Zmodeler trial versoin

It is an ungodly amount of work to make new rotor animations so my first guess would be no. It takes an incredible amount of work just to get the thing to look decent let alone great, he did all that work to the blackhawk rotor system and I really see no reason to replace the USCG helo which works just fine in it's current role.

No it is not likely that a sniper could do a shot from a helicopter since the unit that shoots is considered in the helicopter, not as an addon to the helicopter.

The National Guard is the only ones who can rappel, so if one of their men can sniper then yes, if not, then no. I believe hoppah already said he wishes the blackhawk to be unique with the ability to rappel down it, so I doubt very seriously the swat sniper will be able to do the trick.

I hope this issue has been resolved, however, my understanding is that EM4Fun had permission to modify the vehicle for this mod and that it was a misunderstanding of what exactly was going on. If I am mistaken and there is still an issue please feel free to notify me and I will try to mediate the issue out, however I do believe this was resolved. In the future I would hope that the primary mod designer and any designers working with them will maintain good lines of communications to prevent problems. Please get back to topic and work on the mod if you wish to continue.

Mikesphotos can answer this better than I can, but perhaps in cali they use the DOT Crash barrier trucks, they would be a more practical addition since they are alot easier to move about and quite honestly easier to work with.

Take a patrol officer to the flagstand and ask him to stop the race by questioning him with the cop. He will aknoledge and stop the race, then you go about the rest of your duties.

You are correct that the idea of older style reserve engines has been brought up, but the issues are still the same. Those older engines while cool serve no additional purpose to the gameplay or mod. They would just be additional work for little purpose so they are not of concern as was said previously I doubt that will change. Perhaps maybe newer engines may one day come into the mod but I can't say for sure on that one.

Yea im not so sure that that even closely resembles anything of what the CHP looks like or in that matter does.

I know it has been brought up in the past but what about maybe creating older style reserve engines.

This is muh last shot on this one because I have no idea, Oregon State somewhere?

IF NOT!

The US considers Florida, New York, DC, all those to be eastern coast places, places like California, Nevada, New Mexico are West coast

Anywho, onto my guess, I'll try Colorado.
