The thread is a rollercoaster wow! Portugese, I wouldn’t speak so definitively if you dont truly know what’s going on. Not trying to come down on you, but we dont want people to waste funds on an errant statement. Perhaps a moderator can clear this up for us? (If they understand what happened in this thread )

Haha, by the time a mod comes here we will be talking about fishing or something xD
I understand what you are saying and like I said everything I wrote up there is based on information that has been given to us, except for the Crew Size that's just my guess

Quote from StuartA1984

that would be create as it would show the different steps, even on time lapse and you could also pause and but a brief explanition in, etc etc

I guess this is something I could do
It's not the first time I'm explaining someone how to make units for the game, I also had to learn it once and I keep learning and trying new methods every day and it can take a while
I have done units that took over 3 hours to make in total (a single unit )

Quote from StuartA1984

sorry i know double post, just wondering if there is any videos to go along with this, im trying to make my own graphics, even though these are great posts to help, im still struggling,

I've thought about doing some timelapse videos for my units
They would probably be on fastforward but I think you could see what was going on and catch up

Quote from rescuenut93

So would it even be worth suggesting the following?

-Hazmat Containment Trailer
-Air Cascade Trailer
-Foam Unit Trailer
-Support Trailer

I thought you were talking about units and not trailers, I'm so sorry
HAZMAT trailer probably not the best idea as the trailers I've seen IRL are big
The Air Unit trailer may make the game easier somehow but I do like the idea for realism
Foam Unit? I don't see a use for that in-game
Support Trailer would do what exatly?

Quote from StuartA1984

i had utility units before heavy rescue. but when they responded the call still asked for a HRV, so i never botherd to buy them,

That never happened to me

Quote from rescuenut93

Thanks guys for clearing this up! About the Utility, Would it be stupid to allow the Utility to be used as a Command Vehicle as well? I only have one or two Utilities and most of my companies have boats. Meaning I'd have to get rid of a lot of my Command Vehicles just to get Utilities.

I know Sebastian hates combination units but maybe the Utility can do more responsibilities. Just saying. I have a handful of Heavy Rescues. The majority of my Rescues are Rescue Engines. (Sorry to get off topic) I may bring this up in Suggestions.

But this definitely helps.

My opinion: Terrible idea, command vehicle is totally different from the Utility Unit, and the fact that it would be a HRV + Command... Dude
Reality: Will never be added

Quote from StuartA1984

Thanks for clearing this up, it looks like i be moving some HRV to different stations and also buying the utility unit. even though i said id never buy as they didnt work(at the time) haha

also has anyone noticed that this need 8 people trained, or is the photo just an example.

i am glad that they have made a use for the utility unit.

The Utility Unit does work at the current game, they do the same as the HRV just with a different name and possiblly a different image (depends on the Graphic Pack you use)

About the crew, I think it will probably be 3 since both Utility and HRV have that number as max. crew

Quote from StuartA1984

Sorry i was on mobile il try to explain more now,

since this new update has the Heavy Resuce and Boat, is this a new unit?

if so does that mean we have to sell some heavy rescue units and buy them with the boat. or will the boat trailer be enough.

i understand that the boat trailer will be pulled with the utility unit but will it be the same for a heavy Rescue unit.

Display More

Yes, the HRV w/Boat is a new unit, not the same as the regular HRV

As far as we know the boat trailer will only be pulled by the Utility Unit and no other vehicle to give the Utility Unit a bit more of ... well... Utility in the game
If you want to sell your normal HRV to buy them with boats that is up to you!

Quote from rescuenut93

So am I understanding that we have to buy the Heavy Rescue just for the Boat? Or does buying the Boat Trailer include the Boat? I am confused.

According to the information we have been given there will be a Heavy Rescue with w/Boat and there will be a Boat Trailer towed by the Utility Unit

In other words, either you buy a Heavy Rescue w/Boat or you buy a trailer and use the utility to tow it up to the scene!

Yet another update!
This time a major one

That's all for today

Quote from StuartA1984

I know a QUINT is a real unit. But it is not really needed In the game. A QUINT isnt a requested unit to any call. Yet a PLATFORM truck is. And also a TYPE 1 is another requested unit to calls. a QUINT was added as a request from members like me and you and everyone on this forum. But as a I said above the developer for the game wasn't happy about adding the QUINT or RESCUE ENGINE as he believes keep adding joint capability units makes the game to easy.

I wasn't aware that he was unhappy with those units
I agree that some people will get that as a way to have a tanker that they won't need at all times, personally I requested the Engine Tanker because it is very common around Portugal to have those, actually way more common than a Quint or even a Rescue Engine, but again I know this is the US version (rlx )
I think we should try to get actually new units with new functions like the upcoming Boats and later if really needed make vehicles that have multi-function capability

Ladder trucks can already cut trees like heavy rescue guys! Next thing you are asking for is an Engine + Tanker + Air Unit + Ladder + HRV + Boat + HAZMAT + everything else?

I will put this here for future reference: "This is just a game" and some units just can't be added as they would break game logic and make the game a lot easier!

Can you send a picture or explain what you are trying to do?
I was actually yesterday making a mission pack with simple icons and they look like this

Is your problem making transparent the part around the text box (or what you are doing)?

Quote from StuartA1984

the developer does listen and the forum team make suggestions well known to him. If you read some past posts you will see the developer doesn't want to keep adding joint/shared units as this will make the game to easy. It was also quoted that he wasn't happy in adding the quint and rescue engine.

Some people don't really know what they talk about Stuart

I think nobody mentioned it so here it goes

Docks Fire

Quote from Faolan

So if only the physical, standalone Ambulance stations count towards Dispatch Centers, is the same true for Mass Casualty Units? Or do the extensions count towards the 20 required?

For the MCU both EMS stations and extensions count

Quote from rescuenut93

Having all three emergency services under the same roof. Thoughts?

Same as the engine tanker and the most recent joke the "rescue air unit", I doubt it's going to happen
I quite like the idea to be honest, we have GNR who has fire trucks (separate stations though), police with some rescue services (rare) and fire departments have ambulances (already in-game)
Atleast it would be nice for my upcoming project (military units in military bases IRL) so I could have both Police, EMS and Fire but I guess I can do that with separate buildings

Note: You mean Superstation?

Quote from Whitchit

Nevermind

haha
made my day

Quote from me181

I think if we had a special Doctor vehicle, we have them in the UK, it would be a good example of where training in game would be useful, and the advantages given above could be modelled, however I haven't heard of doctors doing anything outside of hospitals on a large scale in America (I may be wrong) so it wouldn't really be favoured.

Here at Portugal our fly cars have a nurse and a doctor and even more stuff than ambulances do

Quote from WNYfirefighter

The people who use the fly cars are the same Paramedics and EMTs that use the ambulances. They don't have extra training though. They carry the same medical equipment as the ambulances, the guy/girl operating it is no better trained than a Paramedic on an ambulance. Therefore should not have better training. EMS courses could be done through the fire academy as EMT courses are conducted by fire training centers and fire departments/EMS agencies.

Thank you for the information

I have a Dispatch Center in NY that at the current time has 5 Hospitals (2 fully upgraded and other 3 on their way) 24 Fire stations (7 vehicles each, ambulance and ARFF not included) all with ambulance extensions (total of 50 ambulances) 10 Police Stations and 2 Police Helos
On another Continent (Europe) in my country (Portugal more specificly Lisbon) I have another Dispatch center who holds 16 EMS stations and 1 EMS Helo (52 Ambos, 16 Fly-cars and 1 MCU soon to be 2 MCUs)

Everything seems fine until
[Blocked Image: https://i.imgur.com/XCFUy1I.png?1] Well, everything except for the ambulance button is red, also I don't have any fly-cars or MCU in NY and I would like to have those buttons without messing up my NY dispatch Alarm and R.R.

Let me know if you also have this issue and what you think about it

I was finding weird that I would in those daily visits I do on the graphic pack list to see all of my Portuguese Units (packs and Sub-Packs) except for the Fire Fighting one
I've tried to look for it in the list but I can't find it anywhere
It is still in the list of graphic packs I own and is set to public

[Blocked Image: https://i.imgur.com/DhADg4T.png?1]

I just can't find it on the graphic packs list
I've tried with my 2 other accounts and still nothing
But on the building graphic pack list it is there!
