I've only visited Aberdeen & Johnstone however this info should still be fairly accurate, please keep in mind a lot of SORT units don't really fit into the criteria missionchief has set so for some vehicles you may need to just choose an MCUK vehicle that fits best, or for example with our hooklifts just choose a module that's best suited for you.

I'll start off with the basic vehicles and kind of explain the ones that you'll need to put more thought into later on.

- 1x SRU (Sort Response Unit) Your bog standard VW Transporter Primary Response Vehicle

- 1x WRU (Water Rescue Unit) In Scotland our Special Op teams have dedicated water rescue units, advisors have already confirmed no dedicated HART water rescue units will come out so just make this a PRV too

- 1x IRC (Incident Response Command) acts as a mini command vehicle & primary response vehicle, you could technically make it an ICCU but I'd advise you not to because of the FCV.

- 1x ATVC (ATV Carrier) Carries the Wolverine ATVs, simple as.

- 1x IRP (Incident Response Primary) Despite its name I'd make this one an SRV

- 1x FCV (Forward Command Vehicle) Very outdated command vehicle that when I got photos of it, its lightbar didn't even work- just make it an ICCU and pretend we still use it

- 1x LOG (Logistics) Technically a separate entity from SORT this just transports logistical equipment, should be made a Mass Cass vehicle

- 1x HEV (Heavy Equipment Vehicle) Can be argued this could be the mass cass vehicle, but I'd just make it an SRV

- 1x ISU (Incident Support Unit) Just a crew carrier really

- 2x DAAR (Difficult Access & Retrieval) Both of these are just ambulance units

- 1x ESU (Emergency Support Unit) I'm not even sure if this one even still exists anymore but if it does just make it an SRV because you've already done mass cass

This bit probably needs its entire own section because it cannot be done in missionchief, there are 2 pod carriers at Newbridge (call them hooklifts or prime mover if you want to I don't care) there are 5 different modules that these prime mover can carry:

Pod 1 - An ATV Module that carries an ATV, fairly simple.

Pod 2/3 - In a nutshell, these pods carry clinical equipment, logistical stuff, generators, etc.

Pod 4 - A CBRNe Module

Pod 5 - A Welfare Module, not sure if Newbridge has one of these- it may only be Glasgow.

Just choose whatever suits you most and make each Pod Carrier one of these units, e.g. a CBRNe Unit and maybe a Welfare unit.

Newbridge has god knows how many Officer Cars, at least 10 including the unmarked ones- but it has 3 shogun officer cars that you could probably make AOs, or if you want you could even make one an ATVC since they can trailer them. And finally, Newbridge has a Critical Care RRV. That should be about it anything else to my knowledge is probably just outdated and no longer used, and this list is probably already expensive and time-consuming enough for you haha

Thank you for that! I was no where with it, so this helps a lot! Appreciate the explanations too!

There's not really a list but I'd probably just go with any appliances in the 68 plate batch and up

That's a lot I need to change then...

I've been waiting for this question for a while.

Kirkcaldy has a foam carrier MRV4, that's the only one in Scotland. Most pumps have CAFS now, do keep that in mind.

Dunfermline has multiple pods like USAR, MDU, MDS and flood response.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

TheNavalAuxiliary have fun with explaining SORT

Thanks Don't suppose you have a list of CAFS appliances?

Hello,

I am struggling to get info about Foam appliances in the east delivery area for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. I know Kirkcaldy has a 4x4 foam carrier, does another station hold an appliance with foam, or a pod?

Speaking of Pods for Dunfermline I know have 2 Prime Movers but I can only find information that they only have 1 pod, is this correct, doesn't make sense to have 2 PMs and 1 pod?

I could also use some help with SORT at Newbridge as again I am struggling to find the information about what vehicles they have?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hello,

I have some functional/text/interaction improvements which are not huge and I think would make the game a wee bit more user friendly?

1. Change Rescue to Ambulance (UK Only?)

2. When picking/checking Graphics Packs when you go into them (the non windows link), there is no way to go back to the game without pressing the back button on browser or changing your link to take out the prefix.

3. Settings, might just be me but I think settings should be under the user drop down (where the graphic pack link is), this would be instead of going through a dispatch centre.

3.1 In settings everything is as one (I mean premium and non-premium), this should be separated, still within the same window but having a heading for premium stuff at the bottom with everything premium, take it even further, if you are not a premium member it should be greyed out so you can see what you're missing. This would be better than the prompt you get after you tick a premium feature.

4. Station window, would be nice if you changed these to responsive columns so they were side by side if you stretch it out (like below), I have a widescreen monitor, would be nice to see a grid of stations other than the stretched out list with white space.

I imagine a few of these things have already been brought up, so I apologies in advance.

Hello,
I think I would like to see a radio call go out if a medical call needs critical care, although the call doesn't upgrade per say, it would be good if there was a radio call like when fire calls upgrade as it would be easier to control in terms of not scrolling through the calls to see that a medical call hasn't complete because it needs critical care?

Quote from Captmccann

would love to know how to get the critical care vehicle because I cant seem to find it

I think a lot of people are training personal to go into a Rapid Response Vehicle.

Although not ideal, a lot of people are in the same boat. Missions should disappear within 24-48 hours.

When turning off Alliance Buildings it also gets rid of the staging areas set (this makes sense as they are 'built' by another member), but it should be the case that there do not disappear as if a storm is held in a built up area, sometimes members buildings distract from the storm.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that Staging Areas shouldn't disappear is alliance buildings are off?

Don't know if this is a bug, I seem to have everything in place, but two of my boat trailers won't dispatch as it says towing vehicle is unavailable, they both have the same response delays and the towing vehicle has 4 trained Swift Water Rescue crew and the trailer is assigned to the towing vehicle.
Thanks

Hello,
For the post above ( weestewarty) I have made Scottish Emergency Service ones:
Scottish Ambulance Service -
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service -
Police Scotland -
NHS Scotland -

Just a suggestion to keep the community informed about what suggestions have been complete. Maybe this could be done by highlighting the suggestions on the suggestions page in green, to show that its been implemented in game. I'm guessing the creator keeps the Moderators informed about what happening behind the scenes? So maybe the creator could inform the Moderators about whats about to be implemented the Moderators go search through the suggestions to see if any have been complete, and maybe a separate tab for those suggestions that have been impelemted.
With this the community will be able to see that the creators are listing to the community?

Maybe could take this a step further and highlight the suggestions that are currently being worked on in orange?

Just a small thing but I think there should be 2 Ambulances required for the Child Birth Call (Only on a minimum amount of occasions) , as there is sometimes complications with birth and sometimes they need more than 2 medics, and even sometimes if its unfortunately bad, they send parent and child to hospital in separate ambulances.

I think there should be more False Alarms in the game, as I do believe there are plenty of false alarms, not just for Fire but Ambulance and Police, call examples would be:
School/Uni/College: Fire Alarm System (In the UK these are all connected to the fire service so vehicles are dispatched immediately and 99% of the time its a false alarm), you could even have University Halls as I'm sure my halls were hooked straight to the fire service.
I'm sure there will be other building hooked straight up to the Fire Service possibly government buildings, large train stations, Airport Terminals?
Person Not Responding (On Phone)(This could be an ambulance call).
Again with police, person not responding on phone line (I'm not sure if they are dispatched for this call, I'm sure someone will be able to tell us?).

I'm sure there are a lot more false alarms or calls with no outcome that services respond to, this would make the game more realistic and more challenging as units get tied up on these calls.

I'm not really sure but list calls below if you know more?
Thanks.

A good idea would be to add a new mission speed that would be random, for example there could be periods where you get a call every 30 seconds, then there would be a period of time where its every 5 minutes, this would simulate real life as call come in at different rates across the day.

In the picture below more units are needed to complete the call, however the units that are needed are not known because transport is needed. It would be good it the units required for the mission would not disappear because transport is needed but possibly put the transport is needed flash, below the units required. Especially for this call (as its an alliance one) members that have just logged in have no idea what units are required to complete this call as other members have not transported patients.

West Command -- Scottish Fire & Rescue Service, Police Scotland and Scottish Ambulance Service.

40 Fire Stations - 6 with Ambulance Extensions // 130 Units (Including the 6 Ambos)
17 Ambulance Stations // 55 Ambulances (Still more to be added)
1 HEMS Heli Pad // 1 Air Ambulance
16 Police Stations // 70 Units (Currently Building on Police)
1 NPAS Heli Pad // 1 Police Air Support

6 Hospitals
1 Police Training Centre
1 Fire Training Centre

I think it might be an idea to have small 'X' on the windows as it may be easier for some users to close them this way other than going to the bottom of the page to close the window it may feel more natural this way? It may seem trivial but user experience

You are able to stretch a window outside the map, this makes the window have scroll bars appear.

This is already a thing, I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) you need to have 25 buildings plus, and then you are able to build another dispatch centre, as I have for Police, Fire and Ambulance for my set up, I do have many building though.
