RES7CUE Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 As said time and time again on this board whenever this suggestion comes up, the answer is... No.YOU are the dispatcher! It is your job in the game to decide the best units to respond to a call based on what units are currently in station, location on the map of the call, and current call load. Do you respond an ALS Engine or RA, Do you deplete your area of Fire Companies, or maybe call for a county squad from off map due to the location, are most of your units already tied up in a certain part and you want to leave an engine in station just in case a fire breaks out nearby? With the concept of ALS Engines, ALS and BLS Rescues, Engines and Light Forces, there is virtually no limit to the different combination's you can muster for each and every call. For the Cardiac arrest, what if it is in a part of the map where a Squad or ALS Engine is closer? Do you want to wait for the ALS RA that might be tied up on a different call? In the end, what units go where is up to you and that's one of the greatest challenges of the game, and one of the most realistic aspects as well. The best strategy and utilization of units wins.I just think it would be easier that you can dispatch 3 trucks at once instead of one at a time like you have to do.

USAFFireFighter Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 There wouldn't be a water supply with a set amount of water exactly. Instead in order to connect discharge hoses and use the deck guns on the foam tender it would have to be connected to two or three engines. It would still have an unlimited amount of water, because it's impossible to have a limited water supply.I think it was the London mod that was able to connect engines to hydrants and such.Im an air force firefighter i play with foam too much and u can attach hoses and use the deck gun and only attach to a fire hydrant it depends on how much your pumping out and it depends on how much is coming in so thats not necessarily true and i assure u that u wont ever see three engines attached to a foam tender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind the LAFD foam tenders don't carry water or pumps. Section 2 states that the foam tenders can discharge up to 4000 GPM. Now each LAFD engine can pump 1500 GPM max, so in order for the foam tender to discharge it's 4000 GPM, three engines would be required. Furthermore, section 13 says that if a foam tender is needed, at least two should be requested. Now I understand that there are few situations where you would need 4000 GPM from at least two foam tenders, but I wouldn't think it would be uncommon to see two engines supplying each foam tender.@ Hoppah, looks great! Are there any other vehicles that don't have an accurate roof (or any part for that matter)? I see you chose to omit the white middle section of the lightbar.Also, are you going to add lights to the side of the engines and the battalion chief SUV where the reflectors are modeled but there is no light?

Fuzzyface Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Looking very tidy I'll apologise firstly 'cause I don't wanna anger you here, but in future releases are you contemplating scripting out some new missions?I understand modding takes a very long time and right now the focus is units and maps, just interested was all Again, i'm not trying to bait anything out of you, just wondered if it was on the table for V5.0 (Feel free not to answer me by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick the greek Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Great update Hoppah!! Are you thinking of making a missionscript for the freeplay so you can make more events? In my opinion you don't need any more models you got some great ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzyface Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Halla112 - Read the followingMissions take up alot of time to create. I did have some plans for new missions for future versions of the Los Angeles Mod, but I can't promise anything.HoppahI think it was pretty obvious there that no new missions are planned for v2.0 (hence my sugggestion of 'maybe v5.0')Also, thanks for getting back to me Hoppah, you'd have no need to promise anything anyway mate, you've done an outstanding job already.
