Emergency Call 112 - What's next?
Posted: 26 Jan 2017

Hello to all firefighters, vehicle cutters and wielders of the broom!

As you know, we still work to improve "Emergency call 112" and plan to add new content. There are a lot of tasks on our list as:
•   Bug fixing and performance optimizing
•   Adding pedestrians
•   New missions (for example: height rescue, bigger fires as far as technically possible)
•   Additional missions containing the turntable ladder
•   Redesign of room fires with a focus on extinguishing tactics
•   Variations of existing missions
•   Link status messages with the game logic
•   Enhance AI settings, from DIY to simply watch and let the AI manage the game
•   New player role "Head of operations"
•   Operating the pump, including water level display and turning it on or off
•   Rank marks
•   Equip SCBA as separate task
•   Changing to firefighting uniform before a mission
•   Adjusting multiplayer to singleplayer mode

This is no definite list of future update content and no chronological order of things to do. Maybe some of it is technically impossible.
Our top priority is fixing existing bugs. We will regularly upload beta releases containing fixes and new features. Of course we will update the live version as well, but in larger intervals.

We'll keep you informed!

Best regards,
Markus

Coming soon: KEF – The minor operations vehicle
29 May - aerosoft





We’re all looking forward to the first Emergency Call 112 DLC „KEF – The minor operations vehicle“. You don’t have to wait much longer, though – on June 1st 2017 it will be ready for operation, and the minor vehicle will take centre stage!


About This Content
The add-on “KEF – The minor operations vehicle” is the first extension for Emergency Call 112 – The Fire Fighting Simulation. It adds the namesake minor operation vehicle (German: Kleineinsatzfahrzeug, KEF) to the player’s fleet that’s being driven by a single person.

Minor operations vehicles are being used for tasks that require only a few people, which mostly means technical assistance where different tools and material are needed. Players can look forward to callouts like: emergency door openings, cleaning oil spills, and barriers, as well as the kind of operations the fire fighters are tasked with following heavy storms.

The KEF included in this add-on is a highly detailed model of a VW T4 HD. As you’ve come to expect it from the vehicles in Emergency Call 112, the KEF includes many freely removable tools and equipment as well as a navigation unit. Using the KEF, the player can be called out to scenarios like water pumping, tree pruning and shuttering of doors or windows. If necessary, he also has to care for erecting barriers for self-protection.
Features
•   Highly detailed vehicle, minor operations vehicle (Kleineinsatzfahrzeug, KEF)
•   Freely removable tools and equipment from the vehicle
•   Technical assistance after heavy storms
•   Technical assistance after fire fighting and police operations

Different deployment scenarios like:
•   Pump deployment after heavy rainfall
•   Pump deployment after water pipe breakage
•   Barriers during operations
•   Tree pruning
•   Removing of torn-off branches
•   Emergency door openings
•   Shuttering of doors and windows
•   Night time operations
•   Navigation unit in the vehicle

This is the way of the developers today unfortunately. I agree that it is frustrating that devs produce DLC's, season passes etc when the game is unfinished. I posted it as people are interested in this sim.

True. But for all of the complaining about DLC and microtransactions, gamers won't stop buying them. EA alone pulled in $1.297 billion in fiscal year 2017 from DLC and microtransactions.

KEF DLC Details:

The current price is 11.96 Euro, including 20% pre-order discount.

Released 1 June
