randomperson139 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Question: How come firefighters dont have the ability to stop/redirect traffic? I realize this isnt there primary purpose but I am sure at some time or another a real life FF will do some traffic control.Can't you redirect traffic with the engine?

Hoppah Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Maybe they do that in real life, but to keep diversity between the units in the mod, it's mostly PD who handles the traffic during incidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 What I meant was don't the engines in the mod have redirectional lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyfromhill Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hoppah, are you going to change the staffing of Engine 1 to just one FF/PM since the LAFD is moving away from the paramedic engines to paramedic assessment engines? Also, are you going to add the word "Paramedic" on the front doors or rear panels of Engine 1 (sort of how you added the 2 infront of the 88 on Engine 2 when you created light force commands) since it is a paramedic engine?

jab16 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Oh also i just realized how many people the tiller caries. another reason to use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter111 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Oh also i just realized how many people the tiller caries. another reason to use itA tiller only carries 7 people, just one more that the any other type of fire apparatus. and since the extra person is a driver, I doubt that hoppah will put an extra spot on the truck since you don't need drivers. And finally, though they can carry 7 people, most departments only staff them with six and then there's an empty seat in the crew portion of the cab.

And finally, though they can carry 7 people, most departments only staff them with six and then there's an empty seat in the crew portion of the cab.Honestly, I can't even FATHOM that many people in a single rig. LAFD staffs their tillers with just 4, Captain II, Apparatus Operator, Top member and Tiller member. The Inside member tends to bounce between the Truck and 2 Car depending on the call and personal preference. Inside of an LACoFD Quint, LAFD's trucks aren't much roomier:With gear, maps, tools, and such in the back, 2 guys is definitely the best you're going to get.

firefighter111 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Recorded and uploaded a short video of the tiller on the new map:Download it here: Tiller VideoSize: 14 mbFormat: .wmvDuration: 01:55Hoppah, any chance you can get that video on you-tube when you get a chance, cause I only have a mac right now, and it's killing me that I can't watch it. Thanks.@ Mike: I think it really depends on what cab model you have on the rig. Your pics look like you guys use the 4 person model of the cab, throw a six man model cab on their, and I think you could carry seven. I'm not an expert on tillers though, so if someone else knows somthing, feel free to add it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In real life people don't need some firefighter to tell them to turn around. When you see the firetruck and an accident which you can't pass you will redirect yourself.

Assuming you are not braindead near that also if a officer halt you, then search also for another way, or not? but i guess hoppah will try to fix those things later. he is now already busy enough with the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about the other thing, I can change it myself. Will it be on the front doors or rear panels? I prefer the front doors but it's your call.

billyfromhill Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Exactly. In all the photos I've seen, the word "Paramedic" is either on the front doors or the rear panels, not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I think "Paramedic" should go on the front doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
