    Some bases still do something similar. I've been around a few bases. I know at Hemet, my old home tanker base, they piped the county/Cal Fire traffic through the base PA. So you could hear the Cal Fire dispatch tone out and then pretty much immediately someone on the base PA would page an audible alert tone out followed by, "Launch all aircraft." Or specific aircraft, over the PA system. I don't know how FS2020 is in this respect. But it would be interesting to implement something similar. FS2020 has a lot more going for it than P3D does, most of this type of thing would be static in P3D. I know in the virtual firefighting world, we're hoping someone will come out with a utility like FireFighterX for FS2020. This kind of utility would likely be the object to implement a lot of that kind of thing I'd think. FFX has addon objects in it that have animated (granted quite limited) ground crew to load your aircraft.

    Hi Dave, funny that you mention that. Ive actually thought about implementing something like this with a special clickspot or something to tone out a dispatch. I have also tossed the idea of adding a loader with hose under a visibility command to show when you're parked in the pits. We'll see if I can make this all happen but I am trying to make this the most realistic that I am able to.

    ahh..very cool to you both,i know in 2018,before i left auburn,the Grass Valley ECC would start a dispatch with the tones for everyone involved,then says air attack 230,tankers 88,89,then the BC ,dozers,engines,water tenders,and any other departments needed,hand crews etc.but other then hearing the dispatch in the ready room..theres aa shack at the top of the stairs from the parking lot of the ECC,

    Work on the Tracker is moving nicely. Upgraded the panel with a couple G5s and the screen for the GNS530. Theres also a small preview of the Hemet Ryan scenery in the works for MSFS

    Awesome. Is the lower G5 an HSI? Hopefully that is possible. It's what we have on my best friend's plane:

    Testing out some effects from Touchingcloud. Time to put this tanker to work.

    Wow! That looks GREAT. I wanted you to know that I also appreciate the effort that you have put into the VC. All too often aircraft suffer greatly in this area, and that’s where I spend all my time. The more detail, texture and depth here the better I like the aeroplane. Flat gauges destroy immersion for me.Best- C

    Milton, If I remember right you had a better looking "Mud" fx than anybody out there. Perhaps you can share that with TG on this project?

    Its been full steam ahead lately on the S2. Main focus right now is detailing the entry area behind the cockpit. Man there are alot of hydraulic lines

    Wow looking fantastic, agree with the comments about the cockpit!

    I saw some of these on a stop over at Columbia airport, and often fly into Hemet, so looking forward to flying one myself!

    Keep up the great work.

    Some AI tankers from TG would be brilliant. This will be spectacular.
