  1. Hey guys, 

     

    I have just recently started trying out putting lights on vehicles, and I have mostly gotten the hang of it.

     

    I have one question, though--

     

    I have been trying to get the light on the right mirror to flash two or three times, then switch to the left and do the same thing (with the LED effect). I have been trying to use Bama's engine as an example, and even if I have the light settings exactly the same, there isn't enough delay to let one light flash twice before it switches to the other side.

     

    Hopefully I made sense :)

     

    Thanks

  2. This thing was trash. It does not work at all as how you might think. Its 3 sounds that fit together in one specific way and you use it, if you do it another way the sounds just sound ridiculous. We currently have working one EQ in our EmergeNYC game so I say you can wait for a quality one in that game.

    Awesome

  4. Fleet services is an engineers van in the FDNY livery isn't it?

    Nope. Fleet services is an FDNY piece of apparatus that is run by the FDNY fleet services division which maintains all FDNY units. They have vans that can be used to drive to firehouses to fix apparatus.

    That is what is in game.

     

    The in game engineer (to fix traffic lights, RR crossings, etc.) is the ConEd van.

  5. December 2012,

     

         I was working night shift in the communications center. We we're working a 3 person shift (1 police dispatcher, 1 fire dispatcher, and 1 floating dispatcher-ME). It had been a quiet Sunday night, and we were just abut to put in a movie and make some popcorn... The fire dispatcher takes a call, the guy on the line says he's on his roof. It sounds interesting so I jump on the line, assuming it's an attempt. When I click on I can hear a beeping in the background, and he repeats he's on the roof and the building is on fire. He can't get out the door, the hallway and the stairs are on fire.The building was a mixed use ,a store front with apartments above. Suddenly every line lights up in the center, and there all people stating they're trapped by the fire. The 3 of us start grabbing them while we started the dispatch.

         One of our county sheriff officers is just down the street. He gets on scene and advised multiple subjects jumping, and the building was well involved with fire blowing out alpha and the roof. second unit on scene was our full time EMS unit. A film crew that was down the street had pulled a van in front of the building to help people out of the windows. The EMT driving gets out and catches a baby thrown from the second story. They then pushed the van aside and used the larger box on the ambulance to get people out of the second story. They scream out on the radio declaring an MCI. The volunteer department just a few blocks away ran the tower out the door first to help effect rescue. Every LEO in the area responded to help assist with the rescues.

         In less than 15 minutes we had stuck the box for a 5th alarm plus the MCI incident, with fire and ems crews from 3 counties. We had over 20 fire trucks and 23 ambulances on scene, treating about the same number of patients. The bulk of the incident took place over 4 hours, but still feels like it took 25 minutes. Despite some serious injuries, no one was killed in the incident. The arsonist, who lit the fire in the buildings only hall and stairwell, has yet to be caught.

     

    That will remain one of the finest and most terrifying nights of my life.

    Wow! Good job!
