0.8.3T

Added all Manhattan, Montgomery, and New Brooklyn vehicles back to the Fire Academy
Fixed new Engine textures switching when away at a distance due to LODs
Fixed new Brooklyn Units to properly show their name in the chat
Fixed Engine 280's front bumper UI and trigger zones for supply line and attack line being reversed
Fixed Ladder 113 and Ladder 132 sharing the same roles causing problems using both in Multiplayer

Update 0.8.3S is live and fixes an issue where the multiplayer servers were down. As most of you know I moved to NYC in the beginning of June and have been getting settled in and moved in hence the lack of patches in July. I’m about 85% done with getting Manhattan up to date and back in the game. We are adding new mechanics, interiors, and emergencies to the game as well as bug fixes.

Our texture artist Tommy has been hard at work and has created some exceptional skins for some other real life Brooklyn companies that surround the Brooklyn map area which we MAY expand in the future. For now these 8 new companies can be used as relocations, second alarm units, etc. I’ve chosen to include these companies in this patch while we finish up Manhattan. Thank you all for your patience!

We are hard at work bringing Manhattan back still and it should be ready soon! We added a new 111 Tower Ladder and a new KME Engine 214. Something new to keep you guys updated with new content while we shift our focus over to Manhattan. NOTE this did not take more than 30 minutes to do since all it took was a simple reskin.

Changelog 0.8.3R

Added New Tower Ladder 111
Added New KME Engine 214
Added Roof Unit numbers on Ladder 123 and Ladder 176

Happy 4th of July everyone! We hope you all enjoy your holiday. In this hotfix I addressed an issue where some emergencies wouldn't work and some would not be synced in Multiplayer. The issue stemmed from some change in the code I made so that the Fire Academy scenarios would sync properly. I adjusted the code some more to maintain that fix and the emergencies in Brooklyn should work as expected now.

0.8.3P is live immediately following 0.8.3O. We tracked down the main causes of lag in Multiplayer which had to do with backend stacktrace logging backup and a wrong line of code. We corrected these issues and performance should be substantially improved in Multiplayer. Thanks everyone again for your patience!

Fixed the broken font on the riding list and Firehouse alerting systems

Firstly, I want to thank everyone for their patience while I made the biggest move of my life from Georgia to NYC which has been a long term goal of mine. I finally got settled in and spent today fixing some of the main issues that I found after returning to work. I will continue working on getting Manhattan and Montgomery County back in the game asap now that I've finally got my work station set up in my new apartment. Expect things to move much quicker now that I've got my own place and can work as long as I need to.

As most of you know, I am moving to NYC tomorrow so I have been packing and getting my affairs in order hence why the amount of fixes has slowed down a little this last week.

I've been working hard on updating the maps with all of the new mechanics and features and am hurrying to get those ready to be re added. Thanks for all of your patience!
