SAR Part 1 Launched!

I was wanting to send one to an alliance.mebers shared call to help out and didn't get the option.

I've then and went and looked to see if I could send to one of my Lifeboat calls and nope.

I've actually assigned my Coastguard Heli to a custom vehicle class because i was finding that it was being treated like a regular ambulance and being sent on missions when selecting my ambulance ARR, is it by any chance doing the same to you? Its not available because its been sent somewhere random

Also have you switched on both the hangers and the building? That caught me out initially

Investigating Flares seems to be particularly buggy at the moment. The requirement is 2 ILBs, but I had to dispatch a third to handle the third patient on this mission, despite all 3 being "in" one ILB, and now i've had to dispatch a coastguard heli towards to provide Crit Care despite all 3 of these ILBs having Crit Care Crew.

Update: Actually need to cancel and re-dispatch the ILBs to get the mission to update so I could send them to a station for hand-off

does SAR helicopter count as critical care or do they need trained

If you leave the mission to clear before transporting then it works fine. I believe this has been flagged up along with the possibility of having a ALB count as a ILB.

Can the name of the fire boat training be changed? Its a little confusing that there's two "Lifeguard" trainings, one for lifeguards, and one for the fire staff for fire boat.

Not sure if I've missed the question / answer already but I've had a look and couldn't see it.

Can the CG Helicopter be used for HEMS incidents? To transport patients that are not CG-related incidents.

Report from someone else:

Seems that auto EMS stand down is standing down the coastguard helicopter & ILB when there's still patients on scene requiring CC.

I have not tried to use it as a normal medical chopper, but I know it transports coastal mission patients...

First of thanks for the update I was wondering if someone could explain to me why evacuation of a cruise ship or vessel needs a ILB not a ALB.

Will a flood rescue unit work as a inland rescue boat

This is a known bug I believe, there are several calls where the ALB should be able to cover the ILB especially now as the newer ALBs have a small daughter boat they can launch.

Hopefully, but believe that going to be added to in part 2. Don't think it currently has any calls.

I don’t understand why I keep getting calls where I need an inland water boat when I don’t have anybody trained in that.

is it calls for the ILB? This is a In-shore Life Boat.

I've not fully ventured into this update yet, but will be adding a few other parts this week.

If you have bought the in land boat and trailer then you may have calls for that and that needs staff trained in lifeguard training so could be this.

I'm quite sure i've read somewhere, where to find RNLI and CG unit allocations, but cant remember where

Anyone positive on this?

thx

Is there a Coastguard Rescue Helicopter (Large) in the game yet? How do you get it?

No it’s not been added yet believe in part 2

I'm going to begin expanding my coastguard station capacity and wanted to know if any other of coastguard vehicles (like the Rope resuce unit or commander) can be used to replace CRVs in missions that require a CRV unit or do I need to maintain a few of those on each station too? I can see the Flood rescue trailer can be towed by most units. So wondered if there was an overlap elsewhere too

Also, a request for the SARs update might be to add/replace the "Beach Lifeguard" expansion to be a dedicated independent building. I've built a few lifeboat stations in lifeguard station locations and have them set up for that alone, but ILBs and ALBs can still drop patients off at them.

Thank you
