In many ways todays update is no different from the other 61 updates we have made since launch, because we know there are still so many features you want to see, so many improvements yet to make. But going to 1.0 gives us the opportunity to look at how far we have come, take stock, and plan what we want to do next.
Since launch we have:
- Added countless new missions, and mission system. Making traffic stops and callouts more interesting and varied.
- New NPC’s and NPC traffic so the game world feels more alive.
- Many New Vehicles including SUVs, Fire Trucks and Ambulances and the Tow Truck.
- The Computer Database System, so you can investigate drivers in traffic stops.
- Customisable Lights and Sirens.
- A complete redesign and expansion of the city.
- Fire Spreading to add complexity to fire fighting.
- Redesigned Triage/Patent systems.
- Mod Support
- Playable Civilians and other features for the Role Playing community.
- Plus Weapons and Battering rams.
