Unit 42 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Just wondering, is the tutorial going to take a while to complete or will it be almost the same length of the tutorial in the original part of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer4x4 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 The tutorial isn't going to be impossibly hard is it?Its a tutorial to educate you on how to play the mod...i would think not..Would it be possible to see screen shots of how we will dispatch units? Will it tell us what equipment is on what vehicle? I hate the winterburg mod for this reason, aside from stability, because I never know which unit to send. Being US units here, I am sure some one from the US like me can figure things out a bit easier then in winterburg where I have no idea which fire trucks are which for the most part.

That why we need a tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakethejake Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think that it will probably be pretty self explanatory with the exception of technical rescues. Engines: hoses and water. Ladder Trucks: ladders, saws, extrication equipment. Squads: Capable of operating as an engine, truck, or light rescue co. Also have Hazmat capability. Rescue Co: have just about every tool out there, but no water. Hazmat: hazmat suits, meters, decon, etc.There are going to be 12 tutorial stages. They are doing this so that we have a chance to familiarize ourselves with the various companies and how they work. Let's face it. There is going to be reudundancy. Squad 18 or 10 Truck can cut up a car just as easily as Rescue 1 can. If they are closer, then they get the job. What I am looking forward to seeing is whether I will need all of the manpower and apparatus that FDNY gets on a 10-75 (working fire). Will I be calling for a second often? Will I be using the special companies on the fireground? A second alarm fire seems like a huge amount of firefighters and apparatus for one player to manage. Will I be using all 6 members of my Rescue or Squad companies? Will there be lots of rescues to be made? Hopefully, we'll be getting these answers sooner than later.

Newfoundking Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 If my interpretation of the mod is right, the tutorial will teach you how to use the many new functions.. Think winterberg sort of. Totally new game, just same idea as before.. Well this will probably be a totally differnet game, just different from winterberg as well. And if they are using department policy and that, then the tutorial may also include what to do with that, because my fire department does something totally differnet from the one less than 20 minutes from my house. Two different fire departments, two different protocols. I dial 911, i could get either, depends who is less busy, yet I'd probably get totally different sets of help.IE two typical responsesStation 3 would respond a pumper and an ambulance if I got trapped under my car. The station up the road, for the same call would dispatch their LEV, and Rescue truck. Each department is differnet, from the way they pack their tools, what has what, who goes to what, and how they call what what. So if this is realistic, then you may need a breif tutorial on how to do it. I don't see it as confusing as real life, but it'll be probably more difficult than the more popular mods, like LA mod, where everything does everything, so really you could get away with 0 knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it won't be that easy to learn I'm sure since they took so long to make it putting a bunch of their time in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lehmanfire156 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 True, but the rig itself carries no water.True, but rigs like rescue 1 are not for suppression so they do not require water on board ("the big roolin tool box")In Lehman, we do the same thing as rescue 1 just a different rig.

Newfoundking Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 So it wont be that difficult to learnYes, that's what he said.Each Rescue Co carries an inflatable boat and the members are trained as divers.Boats don't come with water.. Mine didn't even come with a captain.True, but the rig itself carries no water.Yours didn't either?True, but rigs like rescue 1 are not for suppression so they do not require water on board ("the big roolin tool box")In Lehman, we do the same thing as rescue 1 just a different rig.With lights, you forgot that part...SO we've established Rescue Co 1 has everything tool wise...

Unit 42 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 ^^ You guys need a firefighter in a box haha. BTW, what type of tools does rescue one have that we can actually use? Also, the high rise units will be used right?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer4x4 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 You shouldnt need to know what equipment:Fire-Engine / LadderMVA- Engine / Rescue / SquadMedical- Engine / AmbulanceTechnical Rescue- Ladder Rescue SquadOther Engine or LadderWell firefighter111 summarized this pretty well, but my point is, not everyone is familiar with response needed. More so if your not familiar with the FDNY. If I knew german emergency apparatus better maybe I would understand winterburg, but since I have no idea what truck carries which tools, and I always forget which one I need, for extrication, for example, I cant just browse the list and see, oh this truck has extrication tools on it..With FDNY its a bit different. You may have 7 engines available to you, but the engines all pretty much looks alike. That and an engine is, well an engine. Not every apparatus has a different name.There are going to be 12 tutorial stages. They are doing this so that we have a chance to familiarize ourselves with the various companies and how they work. Let's face it. There is going to be reudundancy. Squad 18 or 10 Truck can cut up a car just as easily as Rescue 1 can. If they are closer, then they get the job. The problem is memorizing everything.

Station27 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Sorry dude but sounds like your an A-HoleDude he's a moderator. I wouldnt do that if I were you. So that there isn't any more questions. Will the tutorial cover the following:-Using the new gui-Familiarizing with FDNY and NYPD procedures-What tools to use for each call-What tools are on each truck-Etc.Thanks in advance Edited January 31, 2011 by Stan Moderator or not, would that make any difference here? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
