Fire Vehicle Capacity & Equipment Size Mismatch

  • Hello MissionChief team,

    Upon closer inspection, it appears there are multiple vehicle capacity & equipment size mismatches currently showing in game for fire vehicles. I don't know if this is due to the new trailer update that dropped a few weeks ago or if this has been going on longer.

    See the table below for complete details.

    Also, at one point, the Type 3 engine had capacity (although I don't remember if it was 10 or 20). I can think of at least three departments in our county alone that use combination Type 1/3 engines, so having that capacity back would be nice for more realism.

    If you need screenshots for proof, I can provide those.

    Thanks for all you do!

  • This has been ongoing for a long time and has been unaddressed. The trailer update PARTIALLY fixed the type 5 engines, by giving them a capacity of 10, but the lists in equipment descriptions doesn't match up because the items require more than 10 capacity.

    I got tired of asking them to fix it.

    Well...I figured while it's not seriously game-breaking, at least there's a neat table to show them exactly what needs fixing in the future. As long as it gets into their bug tracker.

  • Bump. Unresolved.

  • just some advice...if I was you I would stop bumping these. They will eventually fix, but continuing to "bump" with no additional explanations is frowned upon. just my 2 cents worth...have a good day..respectfully

    I typically have waited about a month to check the "ticket" (post) to see if the issue is still ongoing, then bump it if it isn't resolved. This keeps it at the top of the list as it is a current unresolved issue, and devs can easily see that it is a problem.

    I work in IT and use this forum section as if it was a ticketing system.

    This thread (and my related post) was just recently resolved, and would not have been without keeping its status updated. Tickets without updates can easily be assumed are no longer an issue and won't get "eventually fixed."

    Now if staff were to respond to these threads, evwn to say, we've received this issue and added it to our list, that'd be another story. Bumps wouldn't be needed.

    I had first reported it over a year ago, and if I did not bump it, it would still be unresolved. I feel like 2-4 weeks time between "bumps" is spaced out enough to not be spammy. (If staff has an issue, they'll let me know.)

  • Its been brought up to the devs and and they said that the issues have now been resolved/ corrected.

    Thanks for your help! I've checked my related thread and confirmed this is now fixed. (Medical equipment is now size 10, and Type 5 Engine is removed from the description list of Ground Ladders (size 20)
