UkMod999 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 It depends on where you are, my county uses it as non-emergency. i.e. "Attention ABC ambulance, alpha response for a lift assist, 123 smith street for a 55 year old male who fell out of his wheel chair."Its because im listening to San Roman Valley Fire Dept.. with the Fire Department app for Ipad/Iphone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclovin Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 have they said how many firehouse will be on the map? is every units house going to be on the map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erfd Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 They said it depends on the area the map is based on. If there is a fire dept in the location in real life, there will be one on the map. (We dont know where the exact map is based on.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsutton Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 have they said how many firehouse will be on the map? is every units house going to be on the map?I do know they are doing 100 Duane Street because I seen pictures of it. They have engines from manhattan, bronx, and chinatown on the first post so who knows which one they decide and how many exactly they are going to include.

Tommy Gavin Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I do know they are doing 100 Duane Street because I seen pictures of it. They have engines from manhattan, bronx, and chinatown on the first post so who knows which one they decide and how many exactly they are going to include.They also have the "Tenhouse" or at least their apparatus. I can imagine a Manhattan map, with 2 or max. 3 fire houses, and everything else is off map... We also need to consider, that NY is kind of unique, or at least different in this way, because most of the firehouses are small, with one or two cars. So maybe more smaller ones, e.g.: Rescue 1 has a single home, 100 Duane street is E-7 L-1 and BC-1, tenhouse is E-10 and L-10, these are still not much apparatus on the map comparing to other mods...

If there is a fire dept in the location in real life, there will be one on the map. (We dont know where the exact map is based on.)There will be one map to start with, which will be the area around 100 Duane Street, but as time goes on, they will create more maps that will change as you play through the mod. So if you are playing a china town map, the dragonfighters will be on it, if you're playing a World Trade Center area map, the ten house will be on it, and so on.

Aflac Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought on the startup menu they previewed, it had an area selection menu, which had the 5 boroughs.I assume there is an area from each borough used as the map.EDIT: Sorry, my mistake,Post #2435It shows just Manhattan. But it does show that there are multiple maps, so maybe the boroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff19992008 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Following this topic, the mod seems much more advanced than any other mod I have ever seen. No offense to hoppah but, his mod seems a little "out-dated" compared to this mod. Over-all I hope this mod will be at leased or even more better than the LA mod.

Hoppah's mod is not "out-dated", Hoppah just does not want to add all these extra features like these guys into the game simply because its really not needed. It would be cool but there is a lot of time and scripting, etc. that needs to be done to make everything do what you want it to do. Until this mod is released, there should be no comparing saying other mods are out-dated because I'm still going to play the LA mod and this mod when it comes out, simple as that.

I'm not a modder, just learning so I can't remod LA mod. I am saying that maybe it is time for a new mod, new experience. And yeah, I still play the LA mod, I mean it's still the greatest mod out... For now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalRooster22 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well yeah. This mod has features that are (supposedly) simple and realistic. At least the mod will be in English and I know my American stuff (obviously), so this mod won't be hard to play for me. Anyway, realistic, different, and new, that describes the NY mod so far!
