  • Cancelling units makes mission go green

    Quote from EMS-Chief

    Could you provide me some screenshots?

    I've tried to reproduce it myself on medical only missions, unless maybe I'm not understanding.

    Could you please provide the following:
    * Screenshot of the mission list
    * Screenshot of the BEFORE and AFTER of the full mission window
    * Steps to reproduce the issue

    That way I can point the devs in that direction.

    Thank you,

    Hi,

    Please see attached

  • Cancelling units makes mission go green

    Quote from EMS-Chief

    I just tried it and the mission did return to red.

    Perhaps it was a glitch during the server issues?

    I’ve been having this issue for months and previously reported it.


    The issue persists despite logging off and back in and on multiple platforms.


    If I have a mission, and send an ambulance unit solo, then cancel that vehicle en route. The mission goes green. Everytime.

    Including if I do it as a follow up and then press send directly.

  • Create custom spawn area

    Quote from renalmedic

    In a lifeboat station, go to 'Set Mission Spawn Area'. Previously there was a map where you could set a radius in which missions would spawn. Now, there's buttons for 'Mission Area 1' through 5 where you appear able to designate five different circular areas in which missions can spawn.

    Not tested it though.

    Shame we don’t have this for ambo too

  • New Update - Patient Transfer

    Quote from Whitchit

    I definitely want the regular ones to function similar to BLS in the US version, where an RRV or emergency ambulance can allow it to transport etc. This would also allow for simulation of ECA or Tech emergency ambulances who may require assistance from a paramedic-staffed resource too. Rather than removal of the Critical Care transfer ambs, I'd like to see them repurposed for Neonatal/Paediatrics, rather than removed.

    I think that’s an excellent idea.

  • New Update - Patient Transfer

    Hi all,

    Just wanted to give my opinions on the recent update.

    I feel the PTS element could be implemented differently, as the devs have previously stated they do not want to implement non-emergency services which PTS is. They do get used to respond to some emergencies as part of major incident and high demand contingency but this is rare.

    I feel that as players this vehicle is pretty useless, being only able to deal with patient transport missions.

    My suggestion would be that this is an Urgent Care style ambulance. Lots of UK trusts operate this including WAST, EMAS, NWAS and LAS as NETS. This would mean that these vehicles functioned similar to the BLS ambulance on the US version of the game, being able to deal with some low acuity problems or transport a patient if there is another resource of a higher skill. For example if an RRV attends and wants an ambulance to convey this vehicle can be used or this vehicle may attend a job and then request an emergency ambulance.

    With this they could still be utilised for transfers but also have some use in the wider game.


    The critical care ambulance I feel has been implemented based on other countries use of these services such as Australia. In the UK only paediatric and neonatal critical care transfers are carried out by specialist vehicles and teams. Adult critical care transfers are provided by normal emergency road crews.

    I am aware that there are some areas of the UK who have contracts with private providers for this service, and also some specialist ambulances for things like ECMO. But the vast majority of day to day transfers like this are carried about by regular emergency road ambulance.

    My suggestion is that critical care ambulances are removed, or at least that the calls can be completed by regular emergency ambulance.

    Calls include stroke transfers, cardiac transfers etc. these are all completed by emergency ambulance, even patients who are requiring Level 3 critical are still going by emergency ambulance and the hospital team will accompany if required.

    On occasion HEMS will also be utilised for these transfers, normally due to distance, so they should also be added to the units that can complete this mission.


    Finally, the patient transfer mission in my opinion should be solely between hospital facilities, and the HCP admission call should replace the patient transfer mission from the community.

  • Critical Care Transport Unit Discussion

    In my opinion I don’t actually understand why the CCTU has been implemented like this.

    The only critical care transfer ambulances in the UK are paediatrics. Adult critical care transfers are carried out by emergency ambulances.

    So now we have a new, more expensive unit to complete a call which realistically isn’t too common, and it cannot attend any other jobs.

    I like the update but I think that normal ambulances should be able to carry out the transfer and I also feel the PTS vehicle has been implemented wrong.

    PTS should be able to convey patients if another unit is on scene e.g. an RRV.

    Patient transfer should be inter facility only, the HCP admission call should be used for the community > hospital calls.

  • APNG Issue

    Hi,

    I’ve reported this error before but still struggling for a fix.

    Normally APNGs work fine for me but recently, when I make a new one. It works fine on PC but on mobile it’s sped up.

    This is not an issue for my other APNGs it’s just new ones I make. I can’t pinpoint the issue and have tried altering loads of things, redownloading the app etc. I’ve not started doing anything different and as I say it works perfectly on PC. Even on mobile when I view it on the graphic pack it looks normal, but then on the map view in game it’s sped up.

    Can anyone help?

    I have taken a screen recording but it will only upload as a screenshot.
