Guest Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Looks like either a command pod or support unit maybe a rescue pod. Gunswat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACRfan Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I wanted to share something I found a few days ago...In this picture, emergency services were called to Dover because some immigrants had got stuck in a lorry.Emergency-services-attend-the-scene-at-The-Port-of-Dover-in-Kent.jpgI noticed that the red Vauxhalls (that were discussed earlier in this topic) had been called to the incident as well as some gray VWs (red boxes). It appears that they are simply officers cars. Anyone know otherwise?I also noticed some sort of 'Fire Lorry' in the background with a white trailer (yellow box), I wondered what this is and if it could be used in the mod?Keep up the great work!TWMCPE EDIT:If only we had awesome police cars like the Kent in America...8015430177_0968c94b14_b.jpg (Don't get me wrong, the police here in Kent do an amazing job... just wish they could have Dodge Chargers and Chevy' Camaros!)It's a mobile command post operated by Kent fire and rescue service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'd agree, the truck in the yellow box looks to me like some form of command unit. Now obviously I can't speak for pottyscotty, but there is the potential for a command unit to be useful in the mod IMO. As to the cars, unless anyone knows different I think it's safe to assume they are officers cars. In Humberside, there's a fair few silver Hyundai 4x4s, as well as Skoda Octavias that are all used by Fire officers. The same would probably apply here. One thing to note though, is unmarked cars with lightbars don't have to be Fire Service. Ambulance officers also use a variety of unmarked cars.

I actually think that SECAmb also uses VW's but mainly Volvo V70s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marked cars seem to be mainly Volvos, suprisingly considering the rest of the country has gone to using the Skoda Octavia.

There's a massive variety of unmarked cars used by Officers, Staff Responders, possibly BASICS if there's a local scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastyBill88 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I know that the First Responder paramedics were I live use a volvo XC90. Also the new Volvo police cars come through the place where I work (obviously before they are kitted out with emergency lighting and paint jobs) I know this because on the release papers it has **POLICE VEHICLE** & the name of police force its being delivered to Had a few go to the MPS a few weeks ago.

randomperson139 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Really? An XC90, you sure you don't mean an XC70?Like this?https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2896/14754926653_c6a9365d8d.jpg That's quite interesting... In LAS, the XC70s are HART and Central Ops vehicles. Seems strange they'd be used as standard FRUs (or do SECAmb call them RRVs?). I would've thought the V50s and V70s would be the standard FRU/RRV. I think the Ambulance Service for a UK mod is something you can go into A LOT of detail with, if you have the right knowledge. For example, in my personal mod, I have units with individual call signs and reg. plates that can only be used once, and extra units for everything you could possibly think of (HART, Officer, Unmarked Officer, Doctor/unmarked Doctor, HEMS Car etc. etc.). However it's one of those things where you'd end up with multiple vehicles ingame all serving the same purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottyscotty Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Apologies for kinda stealing your topic pottyscotty Nah, I've been enjoying reading the conversations News on the Mod is the Ambulance is basically finished, a couple of tweaks and I can get some pictures out. Been a bit busy this week with another project but should be able to get some more KM done soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottyscotty Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Apoligies for the long delays on updates, this is due to other bits and pieces going on. Finally it is here though, the newer style Mercedes Sprinter Emergency Ambulance. All it needs is some wheels, a couple of skin edits and some beautiful lighting from TACRfan Sorry for the huge lack of anti-aliasing.

TACRfan Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 That is the best looking uk ambulance i have seen in a em4 mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 WOW! That is brilliant! I completely agree with TACRfan, out of the several released UK mods and countless that have been abandoned, I have never seen such an amazing Sprinter ambulance! That was definatley worth the wait! If you keep up the astonishing work, and this mod does get completed, it will be up there with the best! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastyBill88 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 very nice! I actually had a Volvo XC70 RRV come to my house today lol. I got woken up by the paramedics coming in... Don't worry they weren't there for me, but for a family member who passed out going down the stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomperson139 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Not the best picture, but this might help with deciding the light commands... I know it's a a different service, but this is the light options panel from an LAS Vauxhall Zafira FRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
