On my personal mod I went and did a darker version of the primary color for the lines. For example, on the red of the slide up doors, instead of black I did a darker red, and on the white I did a grey. This gives a shadow impression more like looking at a truck, than the hard line of a black separator. Just my personal opinion. Play with it! see what you like. But I do agree that the white stripe without some markings makes it look less realistic.

Very nice as always!

an idea, but might be a difficult one to code possibly - use a script similar to Taser to capture an animal and maybe take it away to release it back in the woods? But would probably have to model maybe a cat in raccoon colors? that'd be a good one to capture. but I would like something for the Park Rangers.

As always, BEAUTIFUL units! I hope that when you do release, it is public. This looks like it will be a joy to play.

If you really want to do something like an Airport mod, how about something like a US Air Force Base? My wife is from KI Sawyer AFB before they closed down, and they had both airplane incidents, plus structural fire fighting, police, their own hospital and ambulance, etc.

It doesn't work that way. People won't just make a mod for you. If you are interested in a mod, it is recommended to try yourself. I have been playing with just doing a reskin of Hoppah's LA mod, and that will teach you a bit. Then you can follow some of the tutorials on here about adding/changing vehicles, changing scripts. Eventually, you might even get to the point of making your own models. It's not easy, trust me. But the end can be worth it.

OK, so I'm sure lots of you have seen Dubai police cars such as: And maybe even their First Responder vehicles such as: But now their Fire Department has topped it all! A Jetski with a Water Jet Pack attachment! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/23/dubai-firefighter-uses-jetpack-tackle-blaze/ I couldn't even fathom trying to make a mod like this! It would probably look REALLY cool, but wow! Just a little levity for you all!

Also look at where the fire is in relation to the stations. Many times on the LA Mod if the fire is in the lower left corner, away from the 2 stations, I'll call a "backup" engine out to get there faster instead of dispatching one from the station. The faster you get "the wet stuff on the red stuff" the smaller the fire will be. If you have a large fire starting near the water, call in the boat! it has a decent range, and puts out a good amount of water.

Congrats! Best of luck!

I was just saying how cool that idea is. Just kidding around guys.

Someone PLEASE tell me we are going to see this added to one of the Boston Mods: http://boston.cbslocal.com/2016/08/02/boston-police-ice-cream-truck-operation-hoodsie-cup-commissioner-william-evans/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark The PERFECT patrol vehicle!

Is there going to be any kind of manual for how to use what vehicle, what carries what equipment, etc? I'm used to running the standard American fire department mods, and I'd like some reference if possible for when a call comes in I send the right equipment. Looks really nice otherwise!

Great Job! Keep at it!

Looks amazing as always.

By default, I believe the station setting to empty the cars/trucks is ON when you launch the mod. You can change that setting on the station control panel for both fire stations.

Cool, I'll check that one out.

This is where I wish I was better for modeling & coding. I was playing Mayberry Mod yesterday, and had a car explode. It downed one of my firefighters, and I didn't see it right away since I was at another call on the other side of the map. Here's where I would love if someone thought this was a good idea and wanted to run with it. What if there was an add-on/code that if a firefighter was down (injured) that set off a PASS alarm? Would be a blinking light like many PASS have, and an audio alert centralized on the down fire fighter. I think this would be a neat add on for the game, but I have NO IDEA how to add this. If anyone wants to play with the idea, they are welcome to it. Thanks for looking!

If your motherboard looks like this: http://skyline-eng.com/packard-bell-imedia-s-desktop-motherboard-sff-mb-u6l07-002-h61h2-ad/ Then it looks like you can use a PCI Express video card, however the expansion slot (larger black one) is at the bottom of the board, so that limits what cards will fit in the case. Also, your power supply will limit it without upgrading to a larger unit with more power. I'd suggest an NVIDIA GT720, GT730, or GT740 so hopefully you won't have to upgrade the power supply, and those are usually single slot solutions, so they should fit in your case.

In addition to what MikeyPI said, laptop/notebooks USUALLY do not allow you to upgrade your GPU (Graphics Processing Unit or Video Card) as your needs change. Desktops for the most part do. With notebooks you have to buy as big as you can afford to get it to last. CPUs can be upgraded to a point, but it is very limited due to the same heat/cooling limitations MikeyPI mentioned. Desktops, avoid the Slim / Small box if you want to be able to upgrade over the years. This gives you flexibility and can keep a computer running for years over the limits of a mobile platform. You'll hear lots of arguments on Intel vs AMD. I build these things for a living. Both have their plus / minus. AMD offers more multi core solutions, but start them at slower speeds so if your program doesn't take proper advantage of multi core (most basic programs don't) you are limited to the CPU overall speed. AMD offers better on-board graphics, but if you are using a separate video card, that doesn't matter then. AMD does run hotter than Intel in general, and consumes more power so your electric bill will be higher. If you are wondering if an AMD or Intel processor you are looking at is a good deal vs the other, head over to www.cpubenchmark.net. They aren't perfect, but they give you a single number score on almost all processors out there to compare them vs each other. A fast CPU, at least 8GB memory, and a semi-decent or higher video card will let you play most anything on the market today. The better you want it to look, usually means more expensive video cards. Good luck! EDIT: Look at WARRANTY. Where do you have to take it / send it if something goes wrong? How long do they cover it for? This plays HUGE in your down time and risk in out of pocket repairs. Short warranty (1 yr or less (yes some companies do less) I usually avoid. Yes you pay a little more for a better warranty, but you are covered for longer. Try to find a 3 year warranty. That covers you pretty well, and if something like your video card, motherboard fail that gets expensive fast. Also look at reviews, and I don't mean just what they publish on their site. See what other people have posted about that company's computers/support.

Back when I took my test, the practical part I thought was harder than the rest. My test, they really threw a fun one at me, a guy that fell that was wedged in a corner sitting up against a wall, so we had to put him on the short board/KEDS to move him from the wall and then put him on the back board. Oh, and he was about 2x my size too. But my partner and I did it! Man that was a fun one. Remember your basic steps - "Is the scene safe" is a common one I heard that people screwed up and missed all the time. Remember your ABC's. Trust in your training. GOOD LUCK!

if it is a zip or rar file and it reports as corrupt, it is probably just that, a bad download. I assume you have tried re-downloading it? What about using a different extractor? Like 7z or something else?

Could also be used in rescues. Search And Rescue (SAR) units have horse mounted units, and also I know in my home town, we had many snowmobile trails so we had either a snowmobile or ATV to go back in the woods on those for rescue, could be for something similar. Maybe they have an agreement with local SAR to help and they will pull the trailer at those times. I'd be interested in the answer also.

Saw this article, hope the link works. 4 words - Russian ARMORED FIRE TRUCK http://newlaunches.com/archives/russias-armored-fire-trucks-will-make-real-men-cry-joy.php OH WOW! No more problems responding with traffic issues?

Well, I have always had an interest in computers, so that was my fall back job. I am hoping that one day when my children are older and I move somewhere more rural, I can get back to being a volunteer. I know that they have some more options. Cities won't take the liability. I was a fire fighter after that diagnosis, so I know the job isn't an issue for me. Knowing several fire fighters on the local fire department (I interned with some of them) helps too.

I'm a former Vol. FF. I was going to be a career, but 2 weeks before I was supposed to start on Green Bay Fire Department, they diagnosed me with Asthma (was sick at the time with a nice chest cold, maybe that sku'd the test). Now no city will hire me. Worst, I have the degree, I interned with a fire department for 2 semesters, and had been a volunteer for about 6 years when that happened, and I knew I could do the job. I was a paid-on-call (similar to Vol. for those of you not familiar with it, just we get a wage when we have a call and respond) after the diagnosis too. Oh well, guess things happen for a reason. I really do miss it.
