  1. I know it's to late but for others that might want to get ideas from your build, I have a few suggestions. MSI Mobo - Yeah questionable is an understatement imo. I had 3 DOA MSI's on my last upgrade. I have gone gigabyte now and not looking back. HDD - Western Digital is the best bet imo. Seagate second and Samsung was making quality drives for awhile but I believe they sold them off. SSD - Intel may not make the fastest SSDs but they have the most reliable controller on the market. Intel seems to have the least failure rate on the market. Samsung would be a good choice as well. They make great NAND these days but again the controller software/firmware is not the absolute best. PSU - Major over kill. A quality 700 or 800 watt would have been fine and still left you head room. I am running a Core i7 2600K with a Raedon HD 7700, 8 GB RAM, 4 WD HDDs and 2 Intel SSDs. This is off a Corsair 520 Watt PSU. Plus it uses a single 12v rail unlike the Rosewill 1000w PSUs I glanced at. A single 12v rail is always better then multiple. On this I love Corsair! This thing has held up through a mini fire(reversed wiring when trying to fix a fan wire) and 7 years of 24/7 abuse.
  2. I think that it is almost standard practice in the US to see Fire respond to MVAs. Maybe not always in an engine though. I was takeing pics out at one of the county volly stations a few years ago when they got an MVA call with no extrication. They sent 4 or 5 guys so sending the rescue unit was out of the question as it is a 2 man cab. Could have sent the engine, could have sent the quint(but really would have been unpractical imo), but they responded code 3 in a Ford F350 Rescue unit(similar to the HES from the LA Mod). In the city though an Engine or a Quint(most stations contain only a single engine or quint) almost always responds to MVAs. If extrication is needed, one of two rescue trucks are dispatched. Ambulance service is handled by AMR both in the city and county(with one exception of part of the county).
  3. And you felt the need to bump this..why?
  4. Just fyi your attachment must have died in the forum crash the other day. Was anxious to take a look at it.
  5. I have been looking around and seen at least 1 Interceptor and a few new Chargers. Are they feeling both them out for now?
  6. Any one had any luck installing EM4 Deluxe on win 8.1 x64? I tried installing it normally and making the installer Win XP compatible(plus Admin rights). No matter what I always seem end up with this message: Logfile: http://pastebin.com/C7QPNCeW Maybe some one can send me the icons from: UI/Game/Icons/Commands/ UI/Game/Icons/Cursor/ I have extracted the cab files from the 3 EM4 discs using cabextract in linux. Even then I do not see the missing icons and currsors so this has me curious as well. I also see some extensions for graphics are missing. Not sure what to make of that since I have the latest drivers for my Raedon HD 7700 GPU.
  7. lol this was prior to that, but yeah I saw the story on Firefighter magazine on FB and this pic was posted by some one from the NYFD in the comments.
  8. Resolved: Bad prototype file.
  9. Good critique. I knew something didn't look right. Goog, if I may provide some constructive criticism here, the model is very well done! However, the front end should be a little bit shorter and have a bit of an angle to it. Here's a good walk around http://vciambulances.com/vehicle-sales/ambulances/aev/type-ii/2k-ford-e-350

    lol

    Shouldn't have parked there..
  11. Here is the thing, from the sounds of it. You are simply stabilizing a patient. Not healing them. Personally I would rather heal and transport ASAP.
  12. Why do you want 2.0 rather then 2.1?
  13. PMs are for private matters. If it's not private then why PM? You will get a faster response by simply posting the question.
  14. You call it snooping, I call it being a concerned citizen. I also call it entertainment to some extent depending on the call. For example if I heard this( https://www.emergency-planet.com/photo.php?v=633673356691631 ) go out on the radio I would die laughing. Another example, my roommate has a 3 year old, and if I had been living with her at the time, I would want to know my ex-neighbor was busted for child pron. If that sick sob had ever pulled anything with her kid, shit would have hit the fan to say the least.
  15. It's called a mistake. I rarley get on here any more "dude" so sorry the thread had a new posts indicator next to it.
  16. What is SCPD? Would be nice to have some details in the OP about what is included in the submod.
  17. Thanks for the feedback. I figured it varied from department to department but I am told by a reliable source the [df] stands for class D Felony.
  18. Ok so a buddy of mine and his girlfriend were in a bad Scooter vs MVA accident Tuesday night. A local group posts the incident reports online so I blanked out personal info to be sure to avoid any privacy concerns from the EMP staff. I understand omvwi-inj(the chick that hit them was operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, on pills and alcohol), and AR means arrest. The F in the Case # column represents a felony charge. So does the F (F) in the Description mean 2 felonies? 1 for each victim? What does [df] mean?
  19. Well he wasn’t on house arrest because I know he has left since Friday. Plus, what I assume is his mom and dad, were here for a short time tonight, and to my knowledge he has not been home since. His wife was also here for a short time to, and its my understanding she has left him. She certainly seems like she refuses to be here when he is here. She told him if he ver got busted for this crap again she would leave him. Plus one of the Marshals vehicles was parked haphazard while the rest were parked normal. Well wrong side of the street but other wise normal.
  20. And the saga continues, while it was not a rude awakening, I heard some conversation going on outside, and since the sicko has no friends that I have seen, I glance out front and the US Marshals were here to pick up the neighbour. Any idea why he would be out on bail the same day(Friday) and be picked up by the Marshals on Wednesday?
  21. I guess I should have been more clear. Like I said things are a bit foggy, but I believe the raid was several days latter. Maybe they just got the address back from the ISP and got a warrant written up, then immediately executed the warrant. Whatever the delay was, if they had waited days already, and had the officers houses under surveillance, why not survey the suspects address? They had a specific person in mind for whatever reason. Had they surveyed the house maybe they could have realized the suspect did not live there.
  22. Yeah, I thought it was odd seeing all those cars parked on my street since there is usually only a spattering of cars here and there. Had I not known FBI was here, I would have probably thought the neighbour on the corner where they parked was having a party the night before and people crashed over night. I tend to have a bit of road rage and makes me some times think one of these days I am gona end up yelling at the wrong idiot lol. Not here. Last year a threat was posted against specific officers on topix.com. My memory is a bit rusty but I recall they traced the posting IP back to a house on the South Side which is generally considered the Ghetto here. SWAT conducted a full out raid in the late afternoon. They broke out windows to toss flash bangs, ripped the storm door off the hinges, the whole nine yards. Turns out a woman and her daughter(19 I think) lived there. They did not secure their wifi network, and so some one used the network, possibly from a smartphone, to post the threats from that IP/location. Turns out the woman and her mother were innocent, just ignorant. A few days latter in the afternoon they made another raid. I forgot if this was a beat the door down full force raid or a subtle knock on the door raid like what we had happened here. I think this turned out to be another failed raid. The chief and swat team got hella backlash for this. Ha, I was in 8th grade. We TPed my buddys house as he was out of town for a hockey tournament. Walking home we saw a cop turn the corner about 3 blocks back. We took off running of course! Ran through the first backyard we found. Yeah..we came with in about a foot of a chained up German Shepard. I almost shit a brick! Was he on a leash or not? Guess what? Chester, as I will call him now, made it out on bond that day. I wasn't sure until I saw him today.
