Fire truck sims

Does anybody know where I can find a fire truck driving simulator without buying an actual machine? Or isn't there any?

Without buying the actual machine? There probably isn't one.. .I'd best suggest pick an open ended driving game (ie GTA IV for example) and mod it heavily, possibly with already made mods if the game is popular enough

Thats the problem, I want to get it but I can't. My mom thinks it's bad!

Depends on what you do lol! Anyway, i have the same problem though. I would want one too but the only realistic firefighting game is that feurwehr simulator game and I can't understand a word it's saying.

theres one for wii, its not 100% realstic but its first person and pretty fun, like 10 levels of different calls

I agree with Burke. GTA IV probably is your best driving simulator as far as emergency vehicles go.

I treid that game and beat it in 1 day lol

While we are on the topic, maybe people could make a list of firefighting games out there?
I've actually been looking for some new ones to play, but the Emergency-series seem to be the best ones...

I have one where you can drive trucks... but not to calls. It's a free downloadable game called Rigs of Rods (ROR)

Haha, I was JUST watching gameplay of that on YouTube.

I use GTA IV with mods to make the lights much better haha. But GTAIV is annoying because everything just freaking disapears after a while like hte roads and everything lol

That's why it should stay on regular platforms...other than PC haha. I do like the PC mods though. I wish they made one for GTA IV on PS3 or Xbox 360.

Ha I have been looking to, if only Rockstar would make a game with the engine of GTA but for emergene services. You could get a job as like an ambo driver police officer or firefighter. I know you can now but these would be primary functions of the game.

Yeah, that would be cooL!

very cool

Id sooooo love that LOL

haha yea i know me too, plus going into a warehouse fire by yourself with an extingushier?? haha

If only the rest of the world wanted a fire fighter sim :/ I don't think Rockstar would do it for the lack of a market.

Yeah

Haha. I and all of my friends sent a number of letters and emails to RockStar games about making an Emergency Role Play game long ago. Not one reply.

there's a reason for that:
DEMAND
FPS-HIGH
GTA-style-games: Kinda high
Emergency games: Low low low

thats because most people in emergency services don't want to come home and do it again haha

Lol.

lol, very true. I remember the first day I ever rode on my ambulance, we had 16 calls. This is pretty much what I was thinking.

Call 1: YES! MY First calL!!!!!
Calls 2-5: F*** Yes! Another one
Calls6-10: Well, we were trying to eat, but fine.
Calls 11-14: Walk it off
Calls: 15-16: ARE YOU F***ING SERIOUS!?!

I remember this guy on EMP posted something about a first person fire sim for the PC called...Flame Sim I think...? Looks cool, but you need am XBOX 360 controller. BTW Jess, do you have LIVE?

Oohh, i'll have to try it.

it also cost about a $1000 haha

Yes, but you can download a trial or receive a trial CD, which is free! I didn't get it yet. On the other hand, I haven't been on EMP in ages! I'll be on tomorrow!

Flame Sim is a training simulator for fire fighters. The department needs to buy it with their registration of being the Fire Department. It costs about 2-3000 dollars and is a computer program requiring a(an) XBOX360 controller. http://www.flame-sim.com/

Now i'm downloading it.

yeah i'm downloading the trial I'm not sure how much the trial gives you but it's over a gig so it's gotta be a decent trial

WHAT!? Where do you download it!?

Oh. Haha. I got it and am downloading it. I put the dumbest fake info. lol!

Wait. Will I need to figure out how to connect my XBOX controller to my computer? To moderators: Sorry for triple posting.

So did I I said I lived in poopwell and my fire station is ERT FD my rank was fire fighter EMT

Wow LOL! And they still let you download it? I should put Trulit Fire Dept and for location...Phoxlind, Texas!

I can't figure this out. I have no idea how to connect my controller to my computer. Help!

i downloaded it on my crappy computer and it doesn't meet the minimum specs so i guess i gotta do it on my other one later

That sucks!

Flame Sim is just what I'm looking for in a firefighting game! Too bad it requires an Xbox-controller, haven't got one of those. It's also too bad that it isn't really intended for recreation, but rather simulation, so the price is high and there is probably more about educational challenge than entertainment.

To use a Xbox controller on the PC you need the Xbox controller that uses the USB plug.

Yeah maybe I can talk some people at the station into pitching in so we can get it for the station it would be extremely fun and educational at the same time

Is anybody else having the problem were my buttons are all messed up?

i still didn't download it on my good computer haha

Never downloaded it yet. I wonder if an plug-and-play charger for the 360 would work, because it has a USB port.

i'm not good with computers but it downloaded all the stuff so there must be a way to crack it without paying full price...dont get me wrong i'd love to pay for it if it was a normal game but i dont' have a grand and a half laying around

No game is uncrackable. Can you crack it? For sure, Adobe CS gets cracked every version, and it sell for twice what this game does, so it obviously can be done, however is it done? Probably not, since the pirate community couldn't care less about this game more than likely. Ask around though

yeah i know some guys that are great with cracking stuff if i can get it done i'll for sure pass it along to all of you cause it's pretty sweet but yeah my controler like the buttons aren't right....does anyone know how to fix that?

How big is the file? This sim looks sweet! I just need to know if it will fit on a flash drive so I can download it at school

its only like 1.2 gb
