Trucks leaving via the station

[BillA]

Hi, I have noticed when calling engines to a scene, they never leave from the fire stations, they seem to come into the map from the corners of the map. How do I get the rigs to come out of the stations (fire/emt) when calling them via the list on the left of the screen.

Plus what does those little blue boxes indicate under the picture of the trucks on the list? There are like 6 little blue squares.

To call them from the station you have to use the Battalion Chief/EMS Captain. If you use the menu on the left of the screen then they will always come from off the map.

The little blue boxes are how many people can go in the vehicle.

Or you can just click on the engine you want to move and sent wherever you want it to go...

Instead of using the battalion chief, just edit the police commands and add call fire engine 1 or 2, USAR truck, and any other unit you want the police to call because in real life, the battalion chief does not respond to every little incident. Just my two cents.

The Batt Chief doesn't have to leave the station. You just make him exit the vehicle at the station and use him to send units.

I often hotkey the Bat. Chief with number 1 to qucikly get to his panel wherever I am on the map.

Good idea

You can also set the 3 camera "hot-keys" as well..

I set my first one for LAFD station 1, the second for LAFD Station 2, and the third for the LAPD station. You can just quickly click those to get to your stations. (or just click the map)

Well, you could also click on the in the station and move them to the scene.

yeah but that thats pushing the alarm button to fill up the trucks... all of them. After that you have to open de doors and then select the units you need for the dispatch. Using the battalion chief only takes choosing which unit and then send it to its location. Rest goes automaticly

[racer123246]

But, in my version at the beginning of the freeplay session the stations automatically alarm and the doors automatically open... What do you mean?

Yes, but only in the beginning. After each call the trucks will empty out and then you will have to restaff them manually.

[racer123246]

Yeah, that's what I hate.

[randomperson139]

In V2.0 you can disable the automatic emptying of the vehicles.

[racer123246]

Oh that's what that means...
