Hoppah Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 The final update post for v2.0! Mikesphotos was able to take photos of the roof of a real LAFD Foam Tender a while ago. I finally found some time to update the model in the LA Mod. The rear deck gun is not playable, but I might take a look at that for a future version of the LA Mod.Hoppah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, in reality, foam tenders do not have sufficient water tanks for two deck guns, so each foam tender needs 2 to 3 fire engine's to supply the water.

Also, in reality, foam tenders do not have sufficient water tanks for two deck guns, so each foam tender needs 2 to 3 fire engine's to supply the water.Well, according to section II of this LAFD training manual, the foam tenders don't even have a pump or a water tank. Maybe the foam tender could be reworked in the future so that it has to be attached to one or two engines in order to supply water to the two deck guns and four hoses. The hoses would have the same power as a regular hose, but maybe the deck guns could have the power equal to or exceeding the tiller to reflect the real life operation of the foam tenders.

billyfromhill Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Will the old foam tender be available?Most likely not because the old model was inaccurate. It's not like the new SWR truck that replaced the motorboat, it's only a change to the model. The old foam tender might make it to the Additional Units Submod but don't count on it by any means.

Can you send me the pics?edit: Already have them: http://www.flickr.com/photos/firetrouble777/3477415668so it wouldn't be possible to let the fire fighters make a water supply for the foam tender....made someone could make a command for the fire fighters....again.....That would probably be possible, but it's too much work. If you want to play v2.0 before the end of the year that feature needs to wait. The foam tender doesn't play a big role anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyfromhill Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 so it wouldn't be possible to let the fire fighters make a water supply for the foam tender....made someone could make a command for the fire fighters....again.....There wouldn't be a water supply with a set amount of water exactly. Instead in order to connect discharge hoses and use the deck guns on the foam tender it would have to be connected to two or three engines. It would still have an unlimited amount of water, because it's impossible to have a limited water supply.I think it was the London mod that was able to connect engines to hydrants and such.

randomperson139 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 It's not impossible to have a limited amout of water. The Winterberg mod has a limited amout of water so the hoses stop working unless you connect it to a fire hydrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
