Emergency Vehicle Support? - > Possible Expansion??

It has always bothered me that FS never had a feature like this.... Maybe it could become a reality? lolz

Wouldn't make a lot of sense to add emergency vehicles to GSX, because FSX doesn't allow you to simulate emergency situations.  Crashing triggers to reset flight function and you end up where you start.  If you disable crash detection, you simply riccochet off the asphalt like a rock on water.

Actually it is possible if you use planes that simulate failures or if you use FSPassengers lolz.

Simulating a failure isn't the same as simulating a crash.  I only know of one developer who simulates crash damage and does it well.

Simulating an emergency doesn't mean having to simulate a crash. It could be an Emergency landing due to an engine fire, fire on board, landing gear problem, medical emergency. All of which in an aircraft like the 737ngx are able to setup (apart form the medical emergency, but this can be done if you have RC4), so emergency vehicles would be used in the above situations.

Yes it does, if you want it to.

I think what they are asking for is fire and ambulances to meet the plane at the end of the runway, as if you had an engine failure or some other emergency. Not a crash team to come and inspect the parts of the plane and look through dead bodies. A lot of plane have minor emergencies and land safely but will still be met with emergency services. Not that many crash.

I'm talking about FSX as it comes from Microsoft, not addons like NGX or RC4.

I agree with having police or ambulance. Maybe even fire truck to sit next to simulated engine fire. So good idea.

I would like this.

Bruce, your making zero sense. With the same logic, why don't you say we shouldn't have GSX at all, since FSX doesn't simulate the passengers?
