Amazing
I am not a roleplayer, I just wanted a fire truck. I love this style of fire truck. I am shocked at how much it includes, for the price it's just unbeatable for me.
Great for many reasons
Not only is it a complete, working fire engine with tons of roleplay options and working tools onboard, but it's incredibly customizable and serves as a giant source of tools and parts to remove and add to other vehicles.
As others have pointed out it would be even better if it was compatible with HD Emergency Hydrants (and vice versa) but I can't fault this creator for that when it requires both creators to agree and collaborate on a standard like that. This fire engine INCLUDES the hydrants you would need for it, rather than being a separate purchase, so there's that too!
Great Firetruck
This fire truck is an impressive and essential vehicle, fully equipped to handle emergencies efficiently. Its wide range of tools, from hoses and ladders to rescue equipment, ensures firefighters can respond to any situation. Having access to all the truck’s equipment allows for a better rp quality.
I was so impressed with the Sombre Saxon in other Sims in SL I had to buy my own!
I never knew about the Sombre Saxon fire truck until I spent some time in other second life fire fighting role play simulations. Only then did I discover how life like this fire truck is to real life, my only problem was my viewer has issues reading small font's for tire pressures and sometimes the pressure gauges. But this is not the fault of the Sombre it is my old computer, I love the ease it is to use so I bought one thank's go to Libby for building such easy customisation fire equipment.
Excellent vehicle for role play
Excellent vehicle for role play.
In addition to having many features, it is also easy to customize.
Amazing Fire Engine
So saw this truck on a sim and fell in love with it, I love the older fire engines and this one does not disappoint. The attention to detail and the full list of equipment on board make this fantastic for roleplay sims.
