Wkboy714 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yeah, I had a look around and it seems that vans coloured yellow are usually marked CCTV units.I've never seen or heard of yellow cars before, but I'm guessing it's the same: units with CCTV or some kind of video recording. Never seen any on patrol around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wkboy714 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 True, all cars have dashcams now, I think.. I don't know what else yellow cars could be though. Maybe cars that have CCTV actively recording in several angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cars that have CCTV actively recording in several angles.I'm not sure but I think all patrol cars have cameras at the front and back anyway. I'll try and find out why the cars are yellow, but I don't think there is really a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forensics Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 this is WM mod not Manchester mod!!Yes I know, I'm not stupid.I was just showing some examples of yellow police units.I'm not sure but I think all patrol cars have cameras at the front and back anyway. I know traffic cars have cameras. Not sure about normal patrol cars, I doubt every one has cameras.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I don't think the old ones do, but most of the new ones do, and traffic cars normally have ANPR cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kookas Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 It's possible that it's just some sort of high visibility paint, but I don't see why only some cars would have it and some cars of the exact same type would not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkboy714 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Perhaps it's just because that it is a cheap colour to buy the car, because nobody wants to drive a car that colour. If there is a reason, then maybe only the police themselves know.By the way today I saw a really unusual model of police car on patrol, I didn't recognise the badge, can't work out what it is.

Where did you see it? I could add it to the list if it's WMPS.Also, I could probably add the Peugeot to the game, purely for variety. Then I'd employ a dispatch system where you have a few people who dispatch the various vehicles, as found in games such as Hamburg mod and Winterberg mod. I have another question regarding objects, how difficult would it be to program a gate, like the ones found at train tracks, for the police station, and garage doors for the fire station and ambulance house?

Wkboy714 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 About those gates - hopefully it's not too hard. A lot of mods have figured out somehow, and perhaps some makers would be nice enough to help you.About the car I saw: I'm really not sure it was. At first, I thought it could have been a Vauxhall Insignia. But I just looked around on google a bit more, and I think it was this car, the Jaguar XF. The colours were the usual white and battenberg of west midlands, not grey like the photos.Never seen one of those before - not 100% sure if I have the right car, but pretty sure.

Kookas Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Probably a traffic car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkboy714 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Alright. I'm assuming you plan to put some traffic cars in? And if you need some sirens I have two, maybe more if I find some..or just anything we can do to help feel free to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are referred to in the first post as "RPUs". That stands for "Road Policing Units". The ones included here will be a Range Rover SE and a Volvo S80 (or S60, can't remember).About the sirens, maybe, depends if I will record my own or digitally recreate it somehow.

randomperson139 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I think West Midlands Police use Volvo S60s as traffic cars or Road Policing Units.Are you going to include the Central Motorway Police? I think they use Volvos and Range Rovers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they use Volvos and Range Rovers?Don't really know what it is, but according to Wikipedia, it's just a group which consists of three West Midlands region police forces. I don't think the police cars look any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 They are the police group for the motorways and look pretty much the same as a normal police car. The only difference is very small and that is the CMPG logo in the rear window The CMPG cars are probably faster and more powerful then normal patrol cars because they are used on the motorways. And I think WM Police use Volvo V70s as traffic cars, and I found a blue peugeot 407 with battenburg markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kookas Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Sorry, but I don't know if that's true, due to a lack of photos or other proof and because I've never seen it in real life either. I think you are confusing it with Yorkshire police. Different fleet. Yorkshire cops have plenty of Volvo V70 traffic cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
