Project Nostalgia Submod [RELEASED - Bugfixes Uploaded Regularly]

[happy_faceishere]

Looks great Itch! Keep up the amazing work man

I don't really have much on my end besides more civilian assets.

Spoiler

For two months, I've been focusing primarily on European assets which are not relevant here. I also don't know what I'll do with the Corvette but I made one anyway.

I hope to be able to make playables again.

[Anto Mart]

NP Buddy, glad to see that the proyect is still moving.

 

I came here time to time, but I don't usually post. Keep it up buddy!

[itchboy]

I'm back to making USA assets. One of these will be used as a playable vehicle.

Do I smell a CHP Ram CVE  unit?

[itchboy]

I have begun working on modelling truck assets. There's quite a lot to get through but I hope there's enough.

[Anto Mart]

Nice one buddy! They have a lot of potential

 

[miles451]

Looking good. Could see those being good in other retro modifications for playable units. The third photo down kinda reminds me of the tractor used on FDNY CR3 although I'm fairly certain it's not the same model truck.

I see this and I instantly think that maybe you're interested in this:

Hey Itch, I know it's been a while since I last posted. So I thought I would start doing some more research and it looks like I found a few 80s CalFire units that you might want to look at.

 I'm not sure if you wish to use them or not, so that's why i'm sending them to you now rather than later. 

[AwesomeFireman2500]

You can see on the original LA Mod map where I marked out a potential spot for a CalFire camp/post for CalFire units and hotshots to be at. 

[Squad 65]

Only issue with that is, Cal Fire doesn’t usually go to LA County unless shit hits the fan and they are needed. Or that’s what I heard. So it’s mainly USFS and local agencies

[AwesomeFireman2500]

So could it be possible to put a USFS post up on that place where I marked? For example, run the camera over that spot, use the parking script to bring the USFS units on that part of the map and park them over there on standby.

I may have another suggestion for a truck asset if you potentially need anymore ideas. the Mack R would be a good addition as a semi or a dump truck as a civilian vehicle and for the future in other mods since I've seen alot of Mack Rs used by emergency services.

 

If you don't mind me asking what is the truck underneath the MR based off of? It kinda reminds me of GMC and fords of the 90s but I can't find what it is exactly.

I'll definitely be considering different rear bodies. For now though I'll try to make as many cabs and chassis as possible so that I won't ever find myself in the situation where I can't make something because I don't have the asset for it.

The other truck is a Volvo FE42. It's an unusual choice but something I've wanted to see in a game. Cabovers aren't common in the scene but they have their uses.

Speaking of, I have another one made. There will be more in the coming days.

  Thanks for finding these trucks. It's too old for what I need, I'm actually searching if anyone can find legit photos of CHP Chevrolet pickups and Dodge rams from the early 1980s.

Unfortunately I'm not interested in doing any forestry related stuff. I will need to make a new freeplay map or multiple maps. This is a plan I'd like to carry out in 2024 or 2025 but who knows what the future holds. I'll finish my vehicle asset grind and see what direction life takes me.

Thank you for the research on CalFire, there's alot of neat stuff in there,

That might be a merger rig from one of the lesser known cities. Unfortunately I have no use for snorkel rigs just yet.

More content is on the way

I've never done an RV before but I figured now would be a better time than never.

I'll have to UV map tehse eventually but I will.

[miles451]

I remember seeing this awhile back. I believe they had two of these.

If I remember right they also went to a Command Post after Hazmat. I think 27s was one for the Hazmat, I can’t remember the other

that would be more fun!

 

[fanta_]

is the main LA mod needed to use this or I can use it by itself ? 

It just won't load for me  

[AwesomeFireman2500]

Saw this white LAFD Ford LTD with a steady burn red on the dash and a yellow flasher in the rear in a movie called Fire: Trapped on the 37th Floor. It's based on the 1988 First Interstate Bank Tower fire.

 And the person driving was referred as a chief as said by OCD/Metro Fire on the radio idk if the white cars were to signify Division chiefs or Fire Chiefs, but I would love to know what this car's role is in the department. 

[miles451]

Considering it's a movie there's a possibility it isn't a prototypical vehicle and is instead a movie car but considering that it has the usual lighting and markings it is hard to tell.

LAFD did have some unmarked units for arson. They also had a few marked ones aswell.

 

[itchboy]

This one is legit but the one from the movie might be close. Some details line up like the lights but the steady red is in the complete wrong place.

I'll file the film car as "under review". It could be the setup for the 70s and mid 1980s

[Anto Mart]

I was serching info of a Unmarked LTD, and I found various unarked cars like this, with the LAFD logo on the dors. More like a Slicktop, btw. But, Wich is the point?

I mean, there are for Arson and fire-related crimes, isn't it? Cuz I don't see the use of this vehicles for a regular fire exit, like a car accident, f.ex.

Welp, maybe cost effective.
