@Dyson ..... I guess he means that he is unable to raise the alarm at the station house

you got to be kidding me ...... so I will translate it for the rest here after installing the ny submod I am unable to alert my units ..... is this normal? fuer den schreiber - nein eigentlich sollte das nicht normal sein aber auch ich werde die antworten abwarten muessen um das fuer dich zu klarifizieren ich frage mich wie du hier klarkommst wenn es bei dir am englishen hapert

you people should come down and give him a break ..... I mean there are major game releases full of bugs and you can be happy if even one at all answers your requests for help ....... so please give him a break and give him some room to analyze the bugs and sort them out .... as far as I am concerned I would also suggest to take the file for the time being offline in order to get things sorted .... a couple of days waiting time is a small price to pay for a good mod

I am not quite sure what all the talk about the LA Hazmat and the NY Hazmat is but the facts are like this ...... LAFD Hazmat = Pierce Arrow XT FDNY Hazmat = Ferrara Igniter the FDNY used to have a 2006 ( or maybe a 2007 ) Pierce Arrow XT for Rescue 1, which replaced the E-One Salisbury but Ferrara won a bit to replace R1-R5 with their vehicle

even though the discussion about the matter of release now or later was almost done I have to say .... don't let anyone push you either way you and your team put a lot of effort and work into the whole project and therefore you and your team should decide when it's ready to be released

as far as I understand is this quite a difficult task..... the civilian cars have a predefined path and within this path there are certain "go/hold" switches and certain "if" switches ... or so called trigger events for clarity : - traffic-lights in the predefined path will show red or green ( go/hold ) - another vehicle within that path ( either crossing or standing in its way ) will always trigger "hold" and as soon as the obstacle is gone it will trigger "go" - any redirecting ( cones, vehicles with directional lights, police officers ) will result in an "one time only" if event ..... if something is showing a new direction the vehicle will select another predefined path problems : - none of the above will ever result in an actual lane change rather than "go ahead if possible again" or "select another path if advised" - as soon as a vehicle is unexpectedly forced to a diagonal "hold" it will result in most cases in a " dead hold " .... I assume this is happening because the vehicle is sitting in between two different predefined path's or the vehicle cant establish that the traffic light did switch again and for some reason thinks that the light shows red ( this happens usually when turning from one road into another and the vehicle gets stopped within this process due to a traffic jam or something like this ) - the biggest problem and in my opinion the only way to get this done is utterly impossible at the same time .... if you would give civilian cars the same ability to go around obstacles like the emergency vehicles you will have a constant crisscrossing as soon as they spot any kind of obstacle.....now you might think o.k that's fine because that is what we wanted but you have to keep in mind that this sort of rerouting around obstacles even with the emergency vehicles sometimes result in very erratic behavior .... so put this now onto the civilian vehicles and the resulting grid lock is nothing like you ever seen before I might be wrong but as far as I see this I am almost certain that this will not be possible ....

rotfl :-) for crying out loud ..... so than take your guys and let them have a go with some brush tools to clear area ....this way they are kept busy between emergency runs ;-) and get more used to the tools on hand :-)

same on my side ..... I would opt for the #3

that sounds like a good plan happy 4th to all of you back home and everybody like me,serving abroad ....... a couple more months and I am back home

I am almost certain that I get warned or told off for saying so but in my opinion you got more pressing issues than some non compliant civilian traffic in a game . My advise would be ..... get outside , get some fresh air and interact with real life .... have a look around how people communicate and how silly some drivers are - now have a laugh , sit down and read what people wrote in the traffic thread and reconsider your standing towards a computer game ..... By now , I guess , you get my point .... this is only a game and stop acting or talking like a kid which lost his candy ...... even my 14 year old god-daughter knows the difference and knows that talking like that is flat out wrong

yeah you are right but have a look at this ....... this is basically the same Dozer Tenders: Figure 5-C - Dozer tender Dozer tenders are utility vehicles used along side dozers when working on fire lines. They carry additional equipment necessary for brush firefighting operations, and also serve as a maintance vehicle for dozer work. http://lafd.info/index.php?title=6/1_APPARATUS#.05_Tractor_Transports.2C_Dozers.2C_Loaders.2C_Dozer_Tenders.2C_Water_Tender therefore I assume that the USAR Tender serves the same purpose

I assume that these units are " satallite units " to get additional personal and small equipment to and from the emergency scene

I don't have an answer right away but you should attach your " logfile " and your " dxdiag " so we can have a look at it in order to rule certain problems out

I know and I am sure Xplorer4x4 knows as well .... this was just to give another view of the current suburban ..... but thanks for the heads up and here is a shot of a " non " county ...current version

hey hoppah, after reading for hours through different sites this seems to be a problem neither related to your mod nor any other alterations......the problem seems to be rather in the programming of the ATi drivers in conjunction with Win7 & Bootcamp ..... Win7 seem to call the shots by assuming a different hardware than the actual installed one .... so this I will try to figure out ..... Currently I did a trial and error driver install in order to rule things out ..... odd enough the driver in my dxdiag seems more troublesome than the version before , because after I did a rollback to the previous version the problem seems to be gone ( but for now I would not hold my breath ) but the 3D preview trouble seems to be solved but still far away from being stable ...... what still puzzles me is the fact that the unmodified version did not crash ( therefore I assume that the out of the box version is less detailed and less demainding because of fewer vehivles and less graphical details .. ... only a wild guess ) so next step will be trying entirely different drivers ........ I will keep you posted

yeah .... that's what I thought .... looks like someone welded a trailer and a cab together ...

yeah that should be about right ... here are another shot of a current version http://www.emergencyrigs.net/viewphoto.asp?PhotoID=7177 and here some other interesting shot of a experimental command unit

so my problems with crashing the system keeps going on first my specs iMac i7 quadcore 2,8 GHz , 16GB Ram , ATi 4850 ......... win7 x64 in a bootcamp environment , all current drivers I have enclosed the dxdiag and the dxdiag 64 as well as the logfile - Modern Warfare 2 runs without any problems for hours - Wolfenstein runs for hours without any trouble - 911 FR 1.03F US runs in freeplay without any trouble now I have installed the LA Mod 2.0 plus the two patches and when I am within the vehicle purchase screen ( command or control panel I assume ) the game freezes ! when I quickly ctrl/alt/del out of this than I can see some error message that my ATi Card stopped responding and has recovered from this error but I have to take the game offline with the task manager . I can call vehicles onto the map via police officer or the battalion chief but as soon as I call a tow truck for example the game locks up .... sometimes it does not happen but 8 out of 10 times it will happen .... this is really frustrating and annoying cause I don't get it .... the normal version does not have the problems and all other games neither so why does this one keeps giving me so much trouble ?

that sounds pretty good and straight forward to me ...... just lets hope others will see it the same way ;-) I am quite impressed by your effort :-)

lol no wait ..... the offense part was not a shot into your direction rather than towards the ones who keep asking or not able to implement the submods / alterations without getting stuck or blowing their installation into oblivion I am almost certain that the most common question will be if they need or not need Hoppas LA Mod , Hoppas Patches and the PRL and so on .....I am sure you are getting my point ;-)

I am not trying to offend anyone here but I guess your best bet would be to write a short point by point tutorial about the installing procedure , to avoid being swamped by questions about how to and in what order you have to install different things in order to receive the best possible and desired result .... just my two cents BTT - I am looking very much forward to this new mod of yours

lol ;-) yeah I am sure you would like to know that but let me just say this much , that I am working for some law related department on the east-coast and are currently assigned and based in europe / germany

first of all because of my job and secondly I recalled seeing an explanation regarding this from Mike

don't worry so much about the mod hope you will be better soon and are glad that not more happened to you ....... I feel bad about the shape of your neck/back and knee , as well as your truck
