@Mikavdwiel Ive just downloaded this truck and i am amazed on how good it is! Very well done. I only have 1 problem with it. How do I refill it? Or can it even be refilled?

You can use any water source, there is a suction coupling (top-right in back compartment) to suck water from an open water source via the hoses stored on the roof-rack when connected to the coupling under the back door. You can allso connect to a water tank directly using the hose coupling next to the back pump display. Do keep in mind that on some connections you need to enable the valve by flipping a switch next to it.

What water sources can you use, also when you say pump do you mean the one in the back side door, or the standard hose pump
Mikavdwiel  [author] 9 Feb @ 7:03am 
in the back, you need to connect a water source to the pump, start the pump and set it to input mode

im confused like the other guy, how do you refill it

how to refill the water

@R9D, custom made, but you can use it if you want
R9D 23 Mar, 2023 @ 6:06am 
Is that pump screen from workshop or custom made?
Mikavdwiel  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 2:55am 
@Qtan Its a roof rack, for storing the suction hoses

I just tested it properly, the back controls works fine until its interacted with via the side controls, then the back pump gets broken.
SquidgyJack 4 Dec, 2022 @ 11:07am 
In addition to it not turning on, even pressing "STOP" just reboots it. I have to turn it on/off from the sides.
SquidgyJack 4 Dec, 2022 @ 11:02am 
Am I missing anything?
SquidgyJack 4 Dec, 2022 @ 10:55am 
Im not sure if its just me but im not able to start the pump from the back, only the side. I press the screen but it dosent do anything.

this truck has recently run into the problem of it's front suspensions not being able to support the weight, is there a fix?
birb 13 Oct, 2021 @ 9:22pm 
kinda confusing but i found out how to spray t least lol
Mikavdwiel  [author] 28 Sep, 2021 @ 5:30am 
Thnx!
Milanvn552 27 Sep, 2021 @ 1:13pm 
Deze is echt heel goed gelukt man!
Pit007 5 Sep, 2021 @ 6:09am 
Oh and could u please even add some kind of mirrors one the sides. Please I love this veichle
Pit007 5 Sep, 2021 @ 6:02am 
Hi Mikadwiel, there is a problem with this fire truck: it bounces and when I pick up one of the objects that object goes under the map... Could u fix it please?
Thx

@thorbino2006 Thanks, for the description i use multiple programs from the Adobe suite, they are not free so you will need to look at some alternatives like Inctspace or Coraldraw. It's basically just images.
Thorben 11 Feb, 2021 @ 1:16am 
Great Vehicle, and an amazing description, how do you make the Design, like the Feature Layout, and the Feature, it looks so cool, can you say me how do you make this, what icons do you use, and what program oder website do you use. I love this cool Description at the Workshop.
Mikavdwiel  [author] 7 Feb, 2021 @ 2:09am 
hahaha, nice to see it's useful!
Mikavdwiel  [author] 1 Feb, 2021 @ 5:38am 
No sirens, the custom sirens were patched in the game v1 update.
Galactic 30 Jan, 2021 @ 5:27pm 
Are there sirens on this?
Brygun 26 Jan, 2021 @ 10:53pm 
If nothing else this is a well written mod description. Ive seen so many on here that are is moderate to popular use and yet no description.
MeneerYarno22 13 Jan, 2021 @ 10:31am 
wow, what a beast. It's fantastic.
[BT] Flayling 7 Jan, 2021 @ 10:14am 
This goes for the Unimog fire truck as well. The generator does not generate enough power when the vehicle is idling. So while using the pump or winch or other systems while running at low rpm, the battery slowly drains. I don't have a solution for this, just wanted to let you know. Otherwise awesome creations and I'm certainly hoping for more in the future. ;)
[BT] Flayling 28 Dec, 2020 @ 5:53am 
Interesting! Thank you.
Mikavdwiel  [author] 27 Dec, 2020 @ 1:49pm 
It's pretty much standard on most Dutch firetrucks, and not seen on many others outside of the Netherlands. Normally people would store ladders and other long items on the roof and would have to climb on top to get to them. The Dutch design allows for easier access. You can get it more easily, and because you don't have to have space free to walk on, you can store more items.

Most are fitted with 1 or two ladders, some driving boards, suction hoses, and more.
[BT] Flayling 26 Dec, 2020 @ 7:00am 
Awesome vehicle! I wish there were some missions for it...
What is the roof rack supposed to do?

I actually like how the hand pumps fit on the driver's side of the vehicle, that stays in there well, especially combined with the lift of the bottom door.
Mikavdwiel  [author] 9 Dec, 2020 @ 5:53am 
Wow, thanks for the super detailed feedback list, i would love to get back on this. First of all, you said you replaced the rear wheels with suspension without making it flip... For me the suspension wheels made it flip, even with max stiffness. So i am wondering how you did that.

The problem of fitting the equipment back in is an issue that i am aware of, but right now its better than having complicated arms to fold equipment in- and out because it will reduce space, cause more lag and be less reliable because you will need power.

I really like the feedback, and i am wondering if you could help me do a final test on my upcoming firetruck. if you, Octopies, or anyone else reading this comment is interested, send me a PM on discord within the next 2 days, and we can do a before release test!

It took me far longer than I'd like to admit to realize how to close the doors from the inside (By using the exterior key while seated). I linked the occupancy node in the seats to the door to automatically close and open, as well as a manual button.

How on earth did you make dual wheels in the rear? They say they are 3x3 wheels when they are the size of 5x5 wheels. I swapped the wheels with suspension with stiff springs. I feel more confident on less than ideal surfaces I cannot get it to flip unless it is already on an incline.

I did enlarge the windows in the doors and add a heater and a little more gear in the rear cab.

I love the way this truck is made and operates, with the LUA displays and everything, very straightforwards. The equipment is a bit tricky to fit back in, - the solid pipe is hard to detach from the top, I'm going to add a toggle for that connector or replacing it with a winch and a monitor ladder. Use a hose and winch instead of solid pipe
Mikavdwiel  [author] 30 Nov, 2020 @ 4:56am 
it can't have suspention, cuz its too heavy.... i tried it with suspention, and it will just be at a 45degree angle in the corners
Multicellular Organism 24 Nov, 2020 @ 7:40am 
For me the only thing this vehicle is lacking is suspension. Otherwise very solid, good looking and practical truck.
Mikavdwiel  [author] 16 Nov, 2020 @ 10:36am 
Yea it's pretty hard to get it all back in, but that's a point I had to sacrifice so I could make everything fit...
InvisibleStrike 14 Nov, 2020 @ 8:00am 
Yeah, probably a game problem then. Maybe one could try increasing the pressure on higher altitudes? It worked up there with the external pump between truck and hose.

Also there should be some form of attachment point for the equipment in the back, I find it very challenging to pack everything back in the truck when done, especially the external pump and Y-Connector, but also the pylons. And the stuff always falls out when I open it.
Mikavdwiel  [author] 9 Nov, 2020 @ 1:56am 
Yup, super weird, when you get up at high altitude, its super weak..... this is also the case for the handheld extinguishers...
InvisibleStrike 8 Nov, 2020 @ 3:28pm 
Hmm, it seems like it had to do with trying to use it on a mountain, it now works on ground level...
InvisibleStrike 8 Nov, 2020 @ 2:51pm 
Hmm, when I use the Quick attack hose or attach a hose to the pump at the back I get no pressure, the water just sprays out in place. Is this normal?
Tomcatter15 4 Nov, 2020 @ 11:28pm 
VERY GOOD LIKE THE DESIGN VERY MUCH YOU SHOULD BUILD A BIG SHIP PEACE OUT MAN
RBerry435 3 Nov, 2020 @ 11:50am 
Figured it out. Sorry for being a bit to quick!
RBerry435 3 Nov, 2020 @ 11:39am 
Right, I sound really retarded asking this, but how do I exactly pump water through the hoses? I've been stuck for a while now, I need a bit of help. Thanks!
Mikavdwiel  [author] 2 Nov, 2020 @ 5:17am 
also debatable.... hahahah

I have seen multiple videos of european fire trucks tipping over in a turn.
and I don't care if they're not practical american fire engines just look cooler.
Mikavdwiel  [author] 1 Nov, 2020 @ 6:41am 
uuh, first of all, don't get me started on why American trucks suck, and why they should move over to the European style.

Second, they don't really tip over in real life, but in stormworks it's impossible to make it not tip over with any water inside, its just very heavy. If you add double wheels, it won't tip over, but that's not realistic.
Urgedpanda 31 Oct, 2020 @ 5:45am 
I gotta say, this thing tips over easier than a toddler on a bike with no safety wheels, which is realistic because european firetrucks tend to do that for some reason
Telstra 30 Oct, 2020 @ 5:17pm 
Hey this is really good i love it!
Mikavdwiel  [author] 30 Oct, 2020 @ 7:28am 
yea, i think i could do one some day,but first i need to finish two ofmy current projects
