Changing Monitors on Fire Trucks can it be done?

[Turk_WLF]

Now that Dyson's FDNY Mod is out, it started me thinking about a FDNY Truck that he missed (ok it's a spinoff of my all time favorite FDNY Rig(s) ), I'm just wondering what would it take to transferred the Monitor from the Large Fire boat to an Engine?

Why would I want to do this?, to create a Satellite.

What is a Satellite? it's a specialty piece that is design to deluge a large fire (3 Alarms or more) with Water.

The FDNY Original 3 Satellites were part of the SUPER PUMPER system in the 1960s-1980s. The SUPER PUMPER was basically a land based fireboat which was made of 5 Trucks, 1 very Large Pump mount on a Semi Trailer, 2nd Semi to carry the large amount hose, & 3 (Satellites) Engine Size Hose Wagons with large Monitors.

Here is a link that explains the SUPER PUMPER better than I can

Here is a link to a picture of a Modern version of a Satellite (at the bottom of the page)

first of all you should put this in the NY submod topic because this is part of the NY submod your talking about and right now Dyson doesnt have a modeler righ tnow so how he gonna make it?

Let me rephrase the question, can we swap out the Monitor/Deck Gun from the Fireboat to an Engine? Like people have swapped out the Lightbars from the Dodge Chargers & put them on the Ford Crown Vics.

I believe that's possible but correct me if I'm wrong. You can do that in the editor with the childs editor. I once placed an crane arm on a truck, looked funny, didnt function.

But it's not so hard to do. Load the mod in the editor, select the vehicle and press 'edit'. Then their should be a menu to edit the childs and there you can find the water cannon and place it on the truck.

Hope this is any help.

How do you make the childs go up and down. It's only moving side to side for me.
