Whelen and Federal Signal Sirens 1.0

my town has a siren- not sure who made it. Nice job too.

Great idea, but I personally don't like them sitting on lots, these would make wonderful MMP's together with some big Spotlights on posts like this.....4/5

Each siren is also provided in prop form so anyone can add them to any existing or new lots. I mostly made these for myself but since they're made I just thought that I should provide the community with some more decent and realistic sirens for them to use in their cities. Of course in their most common appearance and housing, a tall post/pole dedicated to the siren that were ready to use and plop in game right out the zip. I'll probably make some copies without their pole and electronic cabinet housing to be used on roofs, etc. I was thinking about placing some just like that in my public works lot, as potentially deactivated/retired/new sirens resting in the yard.

These look really well made and realistic! 5/5

great. Now my city will have warning to the incoming UFO attacks!

It's great to see these in SC4.  Thank you for adding them to our games.

Nice Set ^_^

This is a superb idea, and the sirens look very realistic, too. :golly: It would be perfect if they were sorted into the police / fire menu and actually played a corresponding query sound. :P

That's funny, I agree with you! As a matter of fact I actually did have them placed under both park and fire menus (still government building category) as well as providing minimal fire protection, which in turn raised the safety rating for the city. Thus, it would also show their effective ranges (theoretical effective audible range = actual bonus effect range) which I originally had set at about 1/4 the size of an large 4x4km city for each one. I changed this because it was causing problems with the GUI. Also, one of the first things I had thought as I started making these the other day was that it would be fantastic to eventually have them play an actual sample for each type of siren when you queried them, playing a full cycle. The thing is, it would likely take some considerable time collecting good samples off the web and edit them up... on top of the fact that I've never tampered with anything related to sfx in SC4 before.

Thus, the version 0.1 label.

thank you nice models and looking forward to the audio mod too

Having them play sound would be a 13/10. Awesome job!

BIG THANK YOU for more sirens!

i saved some siren files from sketch up/google earth. could those be used?

Why this siren is not working during the danger?
