Jeff Favignano and TheNorthernAlex, thank you both for all the attention you've given to Firefighting Simulator - The Squad over the last few weeks. While I'm no longer with Chronos Unterhaltungssoftware and haven't been part of the marketing of FFS, as the Lead Game Designer and World Builder on this project it puts a smile on my face to see you guys enjoying the game and appreciating all the detail I added to the game world. It truly makes me happy to know that the three-and-a-half years I put into the project was all worth it. While a few things didn't make it into the game, perhaps they can be included in a future update. Cheers. :-)
From a firefighter’s standpoint, this is a very impressive game, I’m excited to play it. There’s a ton more details they could add into this like PASS alarms when you’re not moving enough, low air alarms, actually having to switch on your SCBA and keeping track of your air. A few more details would be having to hook up to a water supply (haven’t seen that yet correct me if I’m wrong) and maybe some more realistic dispatch audio
As a firefighter myself I wish there was a hardcore aspect to this game where you have to make initial calls yourself without the game telling you what to do. Also more of a RP aspect to it. I would like to role play this game!
you can't do that because it'a a call-out mod, but if you're busy with one call, you can decline or have your team handle it. If necessary, they may call you for assistance...or ask you to request additional unit(s) when you arrive on-scene
While Rosenbauer did get it's start in Austria, they do have production within the United States as well (Rosenbauer America / Rosenbauer US) ... alot of airport fire departments have been making the switch (as of late) over to Rosenbauer ARFF equipment from Oshkosh ... Rosenbauer has also built the first EV fire apparatus that will be making its debut with the LA Fire Department in the near future... I think the stigma with most people not liking Rosenbauer, is that they think it's not US built, even though as previously mentioned, Rosenbauer does have production within the United States that I believe handles Production/Delivery for all of N. America (don't quote me)
Yes, Rosenbauer does have a production site in Wyoming, MN that handles all of North and South America. And It's not just airports switching over, lot of departments in my area have gone to Rosenbauer, mine being one of them with 3 Rosenbauer Commanders already. They're a great company and make some great apparatuses by design and reliability so I don't understand the dislike towards them besides that they're not U.S. based.
@@robertmahoney5523 I will say I wasn't a fan at first, but Rosenbauer has really stepped up their game as of late... I really wish I was in charge of acquisitions for an airport fire department so I could have my dream line up of Rosenbauers... or even a regular fire department... but ARFF kind of offers the best of both worlds because you can have almost every single product offered by Rosenbauer and each will have a use at a decent sized airport... airside response with the Panthers (4x4 and 6x6) and Airwolfs... landside response with the Avenger and any one of their aerial ladders (Cobra, Raptor, or Viper)
@@DeltaBravoPhotographyWhen I joined the fire service, I started out on a Rosenbauer so I was immediately was used to it, and over the years they've definitely progressed. My department has 3 Rosenbauers, a 2015 Pumper, 2018 Cobra Aerial, and a 2019 Pumper/Tanker all on Commander Chassis. Our plan was to replace all our other apparatuses (Spartan, Simon Duplex, & ALF) with Rosenbauers.
I’m a firefighter and I have to say that this game is pretty good! I have so much to say that they can add to make it more realistic but I know it’s just a game.
Hey Jeff i just really want to thank you for all of the amazing content that you create on a daily basis for the last few years you've really made my days and weeks better with all of your content so i just want to thank you for being an influence to me i really appreciate it.
@@gavinmcneill46 That makes sense. They are known for making very different or innovative things and as we all know, the first of anything is always riddled with problems.
I hope it comes out for the XBOX 1 and series X my dad was a firefighter so it's a passion to see more firefighting games and simulators getting more realistic and fun
Jeff, so not sure about most of the people saying as such, I ride a Rosenbauer with my full-time dpt, and the only problem with it is that the build quality is terrible, the truck itself isn't that bad, but certain things are just a disappointment, blew a head out within the first year of operation, as well as the foam system leaks constantly so we have to isolate the foam system from the foam tank or else we are having to clean up concentrate from the bay floor every day.
I am glad I haven’t had to use my HAZMAT Training yet in real life. If so it would be pretty bad due to the places that are considered High-Risk (such as a Power Plant or a Paper Mill and Coal Mines)
Hey Jeff, Loved the Video/Episode as always, keep up the amazing amazing content!! Question: Would it be possible to put it in an actual Fire Engine/Truck Siren or Not?
as a firefighter for 8 years, as well as a two year firetruck mechanic. rosebauer is just now becoming a large company, though some of there work in smaller aparatus such ans brush and rescue trucks is less than par. the few full size apparatus i have seen seem to be very well built. but i would never purchase one of the smlller units.
A situation like that happened in my town recently. Our chief ordered 2, inch and 3/4 hoses through the door of a funeral home and the first hose team had to follow the hose line out running from an imminent collapse
That was another awesome video and I loved it and enjoyed it alot and Alex is a great teacher and glad to see more of this game and you and Alex make a good firefighters keep up the great work much love to you jeff have a good one take care god bless and see ya next video
This game looks absolutely amazing! One thing I would love to see (not sure if it’s actually able to be implemented) is an FS Q siren in addition to the standard wail sirens. Keep up the great work Jeff!
Love watching your videos Jeff you make it really joyable because your so funny in all of your videos. If I need a great laugh I just watch any of your videos. Keep them funny.
In the department I'm a volunteer in the driver and the passenger have access to the air horn and the Q granted its a International Workstar built by Pierce. Love the content 👍
The stigma of people not liking Rosenbauer apparatus (at least from my experience) stems from two main reasons: they aren't American built trucks - even though Pierce and many other manufacturers have outsourced products form foreign countries - and that Rosenbauer has been portrayed by several fire districts as being unreliable. I remember a couple of years ago a fire department made a tour video of their new Rosenbauer T-Rex 100 or 115' aerial tower truck, and then made a separate follow-up with a local news company that the truck had serious engine defects within the first few months. The trucks look nice, but it's basically an entire game of "If it's American, it's better" and "That one truck had some problems, so the whole brand is awful."
People disliking products because they aren't American made is one of the most American thing ever. I understand that people don't like Rosenbauer because they're unreliable, but not liking Rosenbauer because they're Austrian is just silly and dumb. That's like people saying they don't like New Flyer because it's Canadian.
To add more realism, they should add voice commands to call the victims like Jeff does, and then the victim could respond with *"over here", cough, cough* etc. I also wish that, all firefighters should leave the building, and head back to the firestation before the debriefing started, but we'll see what's going to happen, i'm sure the community has so many ideas too
As someone being in the Jugendfeuerwehr in germany most of our trucks are from rosenbauer 😊 But some like the KDow are also Fiat and we also have a MAN
I work for a federal fire dept and we are buying Rosenbauer vehicles now. We have 2 of the Panther Aircraft Crash and a new aerial similar to what’s in the game. They are fantastic trucks, not to take anything from our American companies, but they are great vehicles.
Lol this looks like fun. I’d definitely try it out! I’ve been a firefighter for 10 years. Cant compare to the real deal but I’d love to try this game out I think it’d be a hoot
As a firefighter I’ve played this game, it is actually very impressive, just needs an update of PASS alarm and low oxygen and where you have to actually change your scba
You would never use a fog pattern for interior attack operations like in the room you had the flash over, not back draft. When water is at its boiling point it converts 1700 times into steam and that banks down and will burn you and everyone else in the room. For a small room and contents fire like a bedroom, you can use a fog pattern. Open the door, whip the hose around a little bit, and close the door. Like I discussed earlier the water will convert to steam and bank down to extinguish the fire, and no one will be burned so long they aren’t in the room.
