randomperson139 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 i downloaded the mod and installed it the only problem im having is the camara goes in on direction and never stays in one place. if anyone knows how to fix these please let me knowAs far as I can remember, this is usually caused by the mouse moving while the mod is loading. Try and ensure the mouse doesn't move at all while the game is loading the mod, and remember the game freezing at this point is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockBeachBrutha Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong, but I downloaded the Brooklyn Mod, started playing, only to find that I have no trucks in the stations, and I'm missing stations. Did I screw up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FInn Rescue 12 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 No try re-down loading or installing the mod again. There must have been some files missing when you down loaded, it happens some times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildcatsMike Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 any thoughts on being ablle to hook up to a hyrant and then drive up closer to a fire like in real lifeHasn't been done before, and I haven't seen real life departments move trucks unless they need to make room for other responding companies. Would be interesting to see if it's doable, though I have a feeling it's not or it already would have been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Probably is possible but what's the point? I've never seen an engine hooked up then driven around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 It's called forward lay of the line, it's used mostly where a hydrant isnt exactly near the hydrant, so instead a firefighter hops off at the hydrant, ties around it, then the engine proceeds to the fire with the hose reeling out of the bed of the truck as it goes. Saves lugging the hose yourself to the supply line if it's a decent hike away. It isnt the most common practiced method of deploying the hose, but it's very effective in areas where the hydrants are few and far between and there is no other alternative for sources.

Breidell Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 We still do it where I live in CT along on the shoreline and still train on it on occasion I think the longest forward lay we've ever done I believe was over 200 feet of 4inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakethejake Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Where I work in MD, it's called "laying out". The first due engine "lays out" from the hydrant by wrapping the hydrant with the humat valve, and then driving to the fire building. The second due engine will hook up the humat, open the hydrant, and pressurize the hydrant if necessary.I'm not sure that it's needed in game. I put my first 2 trucks in front of the fire building, and get my first 2 engines as close as I can. My chauffer just hooks up. Every now and then he has a long layout, but it's not like he gets tired! Plus the hydrants are pretty close together..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmergencyFan97 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Forward lays are probably the second most common water supply tactic used here, with the first being water shuttle. Don't know where you're from, Mikey, that it would be an odd practice. Forward lay is a regularly-taught tactic in all SC Firefighting courses.

Dyson Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah I agree it's probably common practice but not needed in a game like this. If you feel you need to lay a long supply line you can just lay a hose extender and hook two hoses into one long supply line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 It's common practice in areas without hydrants placed effectively, only times I've seen em pull that technique is warehouses and extremely old neighborhoods. Most the time they don't do that because you're dumping off a crew member that'll have to hike in on foot, removing a portion of your manpower to fight the fire. Aside from that I can't see that as being the best thing to be doing to the hydrant or hoses, especially if they aint in the best of shape. In this particular game I have to agree with dyson that I'm not sure how this would benefit since there is a limit in how long a hose naturally can go in the first place. More practical would be the technique where engines are used to "shuttle" the connection, aka Hydrant>Engine>Engine>Engine, it would be easier imo if someone really needed the connections for lacking the hydrants, that or the tankers.

Dyson Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Lets all join hands and pray to hoppah to write a daisy chain feature into the supply script. In other news.. During testing I was made aware of some missing wheels on the OCME van, so rather than just adding new wheels I've replaced it, see what you guys think..

Kahlua79 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Is anyone else having an issue with the Cardiac Arrest at 1250 Ralph Ave? My EMTs cant seem to reach the victim on the stoop. Also my engines cannot disconnect from a hydrant. Changing the Chauffeur into a Captain doesn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakethejake Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I'm gonna officially lobby for a second squad company. Realistically it would be Squad 1. If 252 goes in as a first or second due engine, then they are replaced as a squad. So it is realistically possible to have 2 squads on the assignment. Squad 288 should really be in the game too since they respond as a hazmat squad as well. So I guess I'm lobbying for 2 more squads........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Well the maps not got 252 on map so it should never really be first due plus adding extra unnecessary units is only gonna increase our problems with all machines. We have 2 hazmat units already so no need for extra hazmat either. We're working on reducing. The unit list to make way for units with a purpose there are far more engines than specialised squads. Hope this makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakethejake Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Yeah I understand. The map is very close to their first due area. Realistically, Squad 1 would be coming in as the squad co., and 252 would be acting as an engine. Maybe 2nd due. It's cool bro. I get where you're coming from. No big deal.This mod is awesome, and I appreciate your hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
