Loving all the vehicles and progress so far. I was wondering however, if there is going to be a Ram based Ambulance? I didn't notice it while scrolling through, I don't know if I missed it, but I didn't see it from what I've looked through. I was just wondering if that is something that will be added or not (if not already added)? Other than that, the mod looks really good! Best of luck.

It is with great displeasure that I have to announce my departure from the Emergency 4 modding community as a whole.
Montana mod will still be released - it is still being worked on by Bama1234. He has taken back possession of the mod and will be its' sole caretaker until it is complete,
Recent events involving the unauthorized monetization of my content have led me to this decision. The other day, I found that a Cities Skylines modder ran a Patreon page that advertised conversions on "early access" for his/her Patrons. Money is being exchanged for access to this content. Among the content is a model that looks to be my and Yankee43's 2020 Ford Explorer model.
You can also see the USFS truck from the Los Angeles Mod in this photo.
This picture helped me identify the model as being mine, due to the distortions in UV mapping that match my style.
DO NOT SEND HARASSMENT OR HATE TO THIS INDIVIDUAL. If you do, you will be banned for bullying and harassment. They deserve due process and privacy as much as I do.
Patreon's support has been less than helpful, and there is no way for me to make a 100% conclusive identification due to this mod author's act of locking models. As the accuser, I need to have proof of my allegations, however I am unable to do that because all I have are low resolution pictures. In order to make a full confirmation, I need to open the model and compare its shape and form with mine. I also need to see the textures and UV mapping templates because these are things that are unique to the person who made the model.
Its a paradox: the only way to access those files is to pay this individual for my own content. Unbelievable. Now, even if that were to be achieved, I would have to overcome the model locking in order to make a wireframe comparison in 3D software. So far, my attempts and that of other users have been unsuccessful, but we will see, maybe another solution can be found.
Another big problem is that the model itself is not uploaded on Patreon, but on Steam. Patreon only has the pictures of the content and cannot enforce this guy from uploading it to Steam. There's nothing I can do while this individual profits from our work. I have fallen into a gray area and none of the competent authorities are willing to address my issue.
There is no solution for me to have the content taken down and the user be held accountable for making money from content that was made by me and another person. We worked very hard to create that vehicle and it is absolutely heinous that someone is making money from work that they did not do.
Also, there is nothing stopping this person, or any individual from monetizing the work of other Emergency 4 modders. This is a new issue that everyone should be aware of when releasing content here.
I did not mod Emergency 4 in order to become someone else's slave.
I have found that the system does not favor creators but only those with power, influence and money. And so with that in mind, I have decided that I have better things to do then get screwed over again and again by every authority that's supposed to "stand for me".
I shall retain the moderator position here and will be manually approving all accounts registered to here. I will also still be on the lookout for instances of content misuse on this site.
I will post updates on another thread regarding what's going on but for now, goodbye.
This is a shame, I am a big fan of your work and I think it's awful that things have come to this. I've been following his vehicles for a while on the steam workshop for CS, and you can check if any of the models on there matches your own property or someone you know; just a suggestion, I'd assume he uses the same models for a lot of his vehicles. I always wondered if he really made his models, I guess not.

Oh I love to see that! Nice job on that, I love it. So if what I read earlier was correct, all vehicles "omitted" will be in a folder for us to add later if we want to, correct? Would the USBP be included in that folder as well? Was just wondering because you never know when you want to play with some different vehicles once in a while. Thanks for the photo, I am loving the Rambulance, and everything about it, alongside the rest of the vehicles in this mod.
