First of all, I know this will never get attention from Asobo but third party devs are also among us and always looking at what we want to get some ideas, so here’s one I would love to see.
Random street traffic of an occasional ambulance racing through the street or a cop, or firetruck. Maybe a group of firetrucks outside a building parked or a cop pulled behind a car (maybe some minor sparks to show a gunfight)
I understand the road system isn’t a connected thing and such implemtation or an addon would appear and disapear just like the current traffic, but it would be sweet! I could list many more (like Coast Guard, gang wars, etc but I’ll restrain my mind for the moment). You get the idea.
If someone already has such a thing mentioned I will vote it up and remove mine. I didn’t see anything. Got the idea before release in watching a video from Squirrel
Those seem to be a helicopter thing. Why not just ambulances and firetrucks racing along the runway to instill confidence in each sim pilot’s first landing?
plz dont tell Asobo coz if they would implement something like this every city would burn down in flames like we now have thunderstorms around the world …
You have my vote as I always liked such type of missions. In FSX and P3D I used AICarriers to spawn predefined scenes with fires, ambulances, climbers or coast guard ships rescues for chopper missions. But some can also be done with planes (the naval ones for instance). I think Lorby´s Firefighter would be also a nice addition provided that he ports it to FS2020.
Yay! Someone made some emergency lights! Just saw them on the market place. It’s a start at least, but yet to try it out. From what I see in the video, they’re just lights on the ground for the effect and not actual vehicles unfortunately. Also, from the video the simulated areas (where you see the lights) are far too close together to seem realistic (unless you’re in Detroit maybe) and too many. I’m about to buy it check it out more. I hope they have some way to adjust frequency or something.
Edit:
After trying it out, I loved it, but do not see any way to adjust it. After a test flight I read their website and see that the amount of lights is derived from the size of the city. From my area that I flew in though, it was just a tad too much. I like the fact that there are different lights. Some strobes and different colors. No vehicles itself, just the lighting systems of different emergency vehicles. It’s as I said, a good start and I’m glad to see it! Still laughing at how different the sim now feels at night, but it does. I only fly in real time and my work schedule makes any week day flights in the dark, so this is a welcomed addition to my plethora of no fuss addons.
