Airport Rescue and Firefighting Update (RFFS)

for Scotland graemekirkwood.co.uk has some stuff on most of them - fairly accurate

Wrong end of the country for me unfortunately, Starting in Dorset but I basically cover most of the South West at the moment. But thank you

ah i see, will maybe help anyone based up North reading then haha

Definetly, and will be helpful when I eventually get up there

Google "Aerodrome Manual" for whichever airport - I've found Bristol and Bournemouth airport manuals both list the appliances.

Im looking through the bournemouth one, and I cant find any kind of list for appliances

just to be clear if it only qualifies as A and not B airfields then what is it an extra small lol - and just to some of my findings Edinburgh, Glasgow & Prestwick should all be large as they can land the A380. I'll make a list of my findings on appliances, field lengths, etc for Scottish airports when i can

That would still come under small. I wasn't going to split it any more than small/medium/large as it would just be too complicated for what it's worth. And besides, some of the Code B aircraft are more capable than one Code A.

Ooooh if only it were so simple. Unfortunately that works for some but not all. For example, Heathrow has no mention of their resourcing. A tweet a while ago that their AFRS put out has callsigns on. As for other airports, research, time and photos are going to be the best tools.

I see, I remembered discussions on smaller rural airstrips prior to the update and wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be further developed later on

I actually found something on the Heathrow appliances but it was from 2015 if that helps at all

Anyways whats the reason behind connecting this exactly for hart?

As VICFire has said, I don't understand the question?

If you mean to ask why the HART base requirement is higher at 2 then this is because of the resources required for the missions.

The resourcing follows the PDA for the Ambulance Trust I work for and in order to meet this it's suggested players need a minimum of 2 HART stations.

Actually like how this update has been deployed.

It is a lot easier to implement than first realised.

I already have several Airport Fire Stations built and they were kitted out like all other stations.

Now though I am using these stations to fill up some new stations this empties out the airport stations ready for converting over.

For police I'm liekly going to just add the expansion, disable public order in them and remove public order units to make space for a more dedicated police set up.

My only thing is simulating airports of differing sizes, not fully looked at that yet as will be wanting to add the small island airports in as well as the larger ones at Edinburgh, Glasgow and Prestwick.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question.

Bear in mind, this is still not a complaint or heckling

I meant why HART in itself is a requirement for airport related stuff?

There's a lot of missions already in the game not requiring more HART stuff than some 2xHART based airport missions btw.

Realistically HART would be mobilised to any Aircraft Incidents to deal with casualties within the area of the aircraft incident. In theory the aircraft wouldn't be safe for regular medical personel to assist which could delay patient care, so I believe they are going for a realism point of view.

There is a known bug where Cat D missions are spawning as medium and a medium airport wouldn’t have the equipment to handle one so we are getting that changed.

You should be able to simulate them fairly well and cat A and B would cover those small fields.

As new content gets added, it will use existing content in the game as well. Chances are big missions that don’t have a HART requirement are legacy missions. I don’t think we could add an airport update without missions having a HART requirement

I take it this is all via POI system.

If so I take it for the likes of Glasgow and Edinburgh I'm going to need to place all 3 levels of POI as they do cover stuff from small single props right up to the A380 at Glasgow and sure Edinburgh can handle up to the 747s although rarely does these days if at all.
