New York Modification {In Progress}

[NIN]

Hallagan hook should be a NY roof hook, or NY Hook

Hallagan hook should be a NY roof hook, or NY Hook

The FDNY calls them Halligan hooks, they've been branded NY Hooks by manufactures, ETC, to sell more so in the interest of realism I would say leave it Halligan hook.

With all this extra stuff being added to the mod (i.e. mdt, pump panels, dispatch screen), will having a second computer monitor be helpful for the mod or not really?

I'm going to guess it wouldn't be. If you think about it, all of these pop-outs will be for each separate company, so you wouldn't be able to leave them open all in one screen if you had to go tell another truck what to do.

If there is a siren control panel, does that mean there will be manual sirens? or custom sirens

[Jakethejake]

I'm wondering if we will be able to break windows to vent and open ceilings to search for hidden fire. They must be giving us these tools for a reason. Interesting............

[ice_krille]

is there any foam system in the mod??

Looks very good mod =)

The dispatch screen won't be, at least that was the way they described it the last time they talked about it, it might not be in the mod anymore.

Look at the ventilation workshop image on the first page

[Jakethejake]

Yeah, I saw that. I think that they said that there would only be roof ventilation. The description on the Halligan hook says that it can be used to break windows. I was wondering if things had changed, and if they had added vertical ventilation into the game.

[Unit 42]

They could use it to open locked doors instead of using an axe to do it. Maybe metal doors or something. Or combine the axe and halligan bar (irons?).

[firefighter111]

I am putting this up here because I feel that it is on-topic since the mod makers may want to include this into their mod, but at the same time, I'm not saying that they have to include this in this version or any other version of the mod, because they have already worked hard enough and created an amazing mod.

For those of you that are interested in FDNY apparatus, the new Rescue 5 is basically set for delivery and the first of the new rear mount ladders is being painted and having the finishing touches put on it. You can see more pics of both rigs at http://www.ferrarafire.com/CustomerSupport/InProduction/InProduction.html

[Guest dafxf150]

this mod is making me more and more excited every reply i get woo thank you

[MoonCressler]

Wow those new engines look awesome but really there not to different from the current ones there just shinier theres no reason to change em especially after all this work

[wasim12]

Yea I agree with mooncressler, its not that much of a major change from the old ones, not even new l.e.d. lightbars

But since FFW Tut said a while ago that he's visited NY and getting current information, I feel that he and the rest of the crew already know about the new delivery.

[TacticalRooster22]

Just saw the manual, very cool. It seems as if you'll be able to equip your men with all different kinds of hoses. BTW, if a truck blows up, did you say that you need a spare rig? Are those pre-assigned or do you need to assign them as spares?

He already said that there would be spares.

Ok sorry didn't catch that thanks!

They have aesthetic differences (lights, general look of the cab, etc.), and this team has show time and time again that they are committed to realism, such as when they decided to put the segrave muauraders to the mod, and like I said, FFW Tut and the rest of the team can decide what they wanted to do, I was just sharing information.

A) The lights on both rigs are led rotators from Federal Signal, as has been discussed many times in this thread.

B) FFW Tut went to NYC, if I'm not mistaken, back when they first started the mod which was what, 3-4 years ago? Both the contracts for the Ferrara Ladders and Rescues are very recent, within the past year or two, and none of them have been delivered yet, they are still at the factory, so I don't know how FFW Tut could have talked to someone in NYC about them when they probably hadn't even put out the contract to bid yet.

Yeah there are some small differences but think about the resoltion em4 is at you'd have to look really hard to notice it and since there not even in the fleet yet who knows maybe this mod will be done before there delivered (i'm not trying to get a release date dont yell at me )

personally i think maybe if they do an update later the new rigs would be a good ideal but once again of course it's all up to them just throwing up my 2 cents since thatats why there is a forum haha

Yes there is an updater and yes... we update every little change in real with it. so, if a company which is in the mod gets a new rig e.g. new aerials, the old one gets replaced. i know from the contracts since they were made and i know those ladders a good while too... so that its long enough to get them done as a 3d model 2 Co's have them already in the mod, just waiting to get replaced in real (personally, i dont like the new ferrara's despite they tried to give them a m2 fitting look but have to see them in real to judge about them correctly).

last time i was in NY was in 2007, friends and relatives are working for the FDNY so spent there much time with them. one thing why i have plenty of knowledge about the trucks, tools, their usage, tactics, etc.

in addition, with due regard to the contacts i have, i'm on a fast source of whats going on in the department.

btw... just remembered at the moment, when i was there, R1's pierce was really new... just went into service 3 months before and now seeing it going to get replaced with a new one... time flies!

[MoonCressler]

nice sounds cool and I wanna visit NY sometime I'd love to see tenhouse I love there ladder

[aitor]

In part sounds good the updater but for other part if you wanna keep any unit, won´t be any mode to keep it?

gone is gone

[Newfoundking]

If you want to save something from deletion, back it up, that way gone won't always be gone.. It'll be a pain to put back in game, but it will be doable with effort

If it breaks the rules, warn me but here is my question. Would you be releasing the mod and then patching it with the new models or are you going to put the mod on hold while working on the new models?
