I think it looks very realistic. Kudos! :1046275747_biggthumpup: One thing which relates to all of the vehicles and I did not see it discussed in any other topic is scene lighting from the floodlights. I recall that some police cars and fire trucks used to have lights.

Those are pictures of OES= Office of Emergency Services trucks, they're stationed across the state for use at large scale emergencies. They are kind of a modern equivalent of the early civil defense emergency units found in across the U.S. in the 40's- 60's. I know Mike can explain better.

Yes these were removed a while back for the redirection lighting feature on the back of the enginees and police cars.

o an other question about floodlights, is it possible to make them less bright?

I mean when you use just 2 or maybe one floodlight you can't see it anymore

Mike and Spaloo talk about this and explain OES in this thread.

I guess the real question here is wether its possible to disable conflighting lightsources to add together, rather the brighter should overlap the less brighter, and not add to it. I find it pretty annoying.

Agreed. I don't like that either. The lights are WAY too bright. Instead of helping to see what's going on, you see nothing! :P

Looks nice, although there aren't any hose connections on the other side of the truck. Isn't that irritating? And the hose connections on the back are positioned way too high. Most engine's don't even have hose conenctions on the back. Look: click here. Someone told me that that thing on the back is used to pump water from a hydrant to the engine. Although I might be wrong. :)

It looks like the rear hoses are just drug off of the hose bed, so its assuming the other end is connected somewhere to the pumps

From what I know of engines, which isnt too much, the hose in the bed is loose on both ends, and thats the hose they'l drop, connect to a hydrant, and then "lay out" by driving the engine, or pull off an entire hose, connect to the trucks pump, and then attach a nozzle to fight fire

Hi Hoppah,

the rear hose connection is in deed for the water supply of the engine. I´ve visited a US Airforce Base Fire Staion with my local Firebrigade an they had a similar Engine.

Hose connection for fire fighting are on the sides.

BTW, your mod ist outstanding. Keep up your good work...

yes and no, on nearly any engine you look at there is ONE connection on the rear of the engine which is used for a 2 1/2 inch attack line, while the 2 - 4 hose lays in the middle of the engine are 1 3/4 inch attack lines

first part is right, 2nd part is kinda right....

like i said, there is a 2 1/2 inch attack line on the rear of engines, but there is also between 1500-2500 feet of 5 inch supply hose used to connect to hydrants and other trucks

wrong, the connection on the rear is a discharge, not an intake, if you hooked up a hydrant line to it you would blow up your pump

Oh, I´m sorry for the wrong information.

So the supply line is also attached to the side?

yeah the 5 inch supply line is connected on the pump pannel side of the engine through a connection system.

Here's various trucks showing what FF304 means -- note all of them seem to have some sort of connection(s) below the hose beds in the rear
