Is there a chance we can expect a bug patch? Like when I have no idea which vehicles will and will not crash the game, and also the ambulances not being able to return to base? I've really enjoyed the mod, the lighting on the vehicles is amazing. You've done an amazing job

Is there a chance we will so unique uniforms now?

Another mod gone. Let's start tallying, until it's just Hoppah's mods.

Oh no, they've all got it. I live in Virginia Unless they're all broken. 

I've got a question that there can't really be a clear answer to, so I guess I'm asking for an opinion. 

When this Virginia State Police (Go Virginia!) CVPI flips his lights on, you'll note there is a single light on the left side of the rear window. Unless you're in a Country where the right side of the road is the err, right side and not the left side, you'll probably agree it's to let traffic know to get over. There's a law, can't remember what it's called, that states you're required to get over a lane if available or slow down to a "reasonable speed" when passing by.

I think there is only one mod I've played with a police Suburban, and that was the BoF mod, however it was unmarked FBI. Really excited to just see Suburbans really, Itchboy did an amazing job on them. Your mod is looking great so far, can't wait for the next showcase!

For the FD vehicles, pretty cool to see the Battalion (chief?) using something other than a pickup or Chevy SUV, looks good.

And finally, I'm not really a fan of the unmarked crown vic. I'm not really sure what year that is, but the sharper and less rounded ones look a bit better, in my opinion. That and CVPIs have for so long been the most used police unit, you know?

That makes things seem a lot clearer. I was thinking perhaps there was some huge reasoning behind it, I overthink things sometimes. I was pretty sure red and blue were used for visibility anyways, being primary colors and all. I know different states have different laws on what color lights are used. In California, is it just the CHP that's required to have the steady burn red light facing front? 

Also, thanks for the quick reply. I've been learning how to skin and do decent lighting in hopes of a little private mod. So I was interested in what was considered when emergency vehicles are lit. (Lots of thanks to the modding community, especially Itchboy and Bama)

If you're still looking for the study, I'd be delighted to read into it. 

Hello! I guess you can consider this a question, and I do believe this is the section it should go under. 

Throughout playing 911: FR an all it's brilliant mods, especially the ones based off of real places detail for detail, I've noticed a huge diversity in the red and blue lighting on police vehicles. I live in Virginia, and I don't very often travel out of it. Virginia State Police use all blue, not a single speck of red on any of their vehicles. The county I live in, has a single red light outfitted on most of their newer vehicles. Those being the Chargers and Taurus, and that's located in the rear windshield. Their light bar and ram bar are fully blue. Then counties over, and nearly all red. When I think fire truck, I think red with red flashing lights, and pretty much the same with ambulances. I don't think I've ever seen one outfitted with all blue in person. Then you look at NYC, nearly all of their police lights are red, and I don't understand why. Personally I really like an all blue setup on police vehicles. 

That brings me to my main question: Is there a reason places like NYC prefer the mostly red and white setup over blue, and is there a reason police vehicles much more often have blue lights compared to other emergency services? 

Oh, there was some big bike race today and there was pretty much a cop at every single intersection I went through, and of course a few cops anywhere the bikers crossed the road. I saw a huge variety of our police cars, pretty sure I saw every marked car type we have. Saw a good few undercover Impalas and what looked like the 2010 Ford Explorer undercover. Pretty neat seeing so many cop cars in such a short period of time. 

And to those curious about the Secret Service Marked Cars. The ones in these units are not the black suits you see following the president. There's a site here with more information on the Uniformed Division. There are Tahoes and Suburbans in the service fleet from what I can see, it appears they function as do most police departments, buying and outfitting the standard PPV packages. 

Gonna skip over all that other stuff, but thanks for the info on the uniformed division. I was pretty sure there was a part of the USSS like that, sorta like the FBI Police I guess. After rewording how I googled it, that was the second one to pop up. http://gyazo.com/97e3ee0a537ec562042727d3ad6aacb9

 

Oh, ok i understand. I will do that from now on. Thanks for clearing that up. But i wanted to update the credits anyway.

 

EDIT:

I edited all the videos, now they include credits.

 

USSS Suburban. Credits in the video description

Is this a fictional unit or still a WIP skin? I couldn't find a marked white Secret Service Suburban anywhere o.O 

Edit: Only one I can find http://gyazo.com/bf4a796a28ba3c1d71570042d92ef008

So should someone receive a few minor warning for stealing someones hard work and claiming it their own?

That looks super good! I have a question about what units will be available. (I apologize if this has already been answered) Are there plans to add something like a secret service suburban or any secret service vehicles? 

I do believe their Facebook page has *poofed* out of existence, don't quote me though. But this link is dead: https://www.emergency-planet.com/notes/boston-mod-guys-gaming/available-downloads-from-the-boston-mod-guys/392147907609568

Some people say it was hacked, too. 

Cannot wait for the release, looks really promising. Based off the PD lights, I can't wait to see what you'll be able to do with the FD lights!

Where do I get the unit.xmls exactly?

I downloaded it twice just to make sure, it's from the link in Itchboy's LA Mod Vehicles thread. 

http://gyazo.com/49f5811e7a4156412b59240027d79b40 -- This is all that comes in the download.

The units are showing up in game so I added them in freeplaybase.xml just like the others, I tried again in game and no new units were there. 

That'd be in C:\Program Files (x86)\sixteen tons entertainment\Emergency 4\Mods\Los Angeles Mod v2.1\Units\Vehicles\Police?

None of that came with the download file. 

I checked in game-- twice. Nothing new showed up in the units menu. I also did that for Fire & EMS.

http://gyazo.com/25faf07f55b636413806e9ee92ce2d10

I've done exactly that, does this look incorrect? 

I don't follow at all? I've got no clue as to what to do to make the units showup in game. I looked at them in the editor first and thought that they would work in freeplay as well, but I was wrong. Now I'm not sure what to do to get them to work. 

Edit: Not showing up on the units list IG.

I second this, the guide Hoppah has doesn't seem to work.

Okay, so while broswing youtube, I found some awesome game called 911: FR. So I got it on Amazon. But, the game is broken in a way.

I have been looking through these forums, since before I got the game. I had the known problems down. And I have had everysingle problem listed. I have re-installed this game at least 20 times now. I'd really like to play the LA Mod. It looks awesome.

But, I get an error message when I try to open the Modinstaller file. I've done everything people on here say to do to fix it, and nothing works. Error messages is what I get. I can play the game once after each reinstall, then it breaks again. And I have to re-install to make it work. But I am still yet to be able to play a Mod.

I crash to desktop after the blackscreen, so I updated my drivers and all that fancy stuff. Nope, didn't work. I tried the code things when you edit strings or whatever, didn't work, nothing works.

I'm hoping someone here will know how to solve all of this, so I can enjoy this game. Right now, I wish I would have saved that 20$.
