With FW (including larger operations), vehicles are deployed all at exactly the same time/Set status simultaneously

Summary / Zusammenfassung

During emergency calls (I noticed it especially with fire department operations) but also during larger operations with multiple vehicles, all vehicles deploy simultaneously, report back as free at the same time, and return to the station simultaneously (each station individually → not 1+2+3 at the same time but all vehicles from Station 1 at the same time, all vehicles from Station 2, etc.). There is minimal time offset, but that’s at most 2 seconds. (This is NOT about the display on the GIS but about the STATUSES that are being set!)

Steps to Reproduce / Schritte zur Reproduktion

Start a session, wait for a fire department or larger operation, dispatch, observe the operation progress → “bug” during deployment, return, and station arrival.

  1. Go to ‘…’ / Gehe zu ‘…’
  2. Click on ‘…’ / Klicke auf ‘…’
  3. Scroll down to ‘…’ / Scrolle nach unten zu ‘…’
  4. See error / Fehler sichtbar

Expected Behavior / Erwartetes Verhalten

Vehicles deploy with slight time offsets, with longer offsets depending on the vehicle (DLKs, HLFs, TLFs that take longer to break down would deploy later, ELWs, GWs and small vehicles faster), the emergency vehicles return with staggered timing and do not arrive at the station at exactly the same time or transition to their respective statuses.

Actual Behavior / Tatsächliches Verhalten

Vehicles deploy, return, and arrive almost exactly at the same time.

Impact on Usage / Auswirkung auf die Nutzung

Looks odd and unrealistic

Minor: Small / cosmetic impact. / Kleiner / kosmetischer Einfluss.
Moderate: It disrupts some workflows. / Beeinträchtigt einige Arbeitsabläufe.
Critical: I can’t use the platform at all. / Die Plattform ist nicht nutzbar.

Screenshots or Logs / Screenshots oder Protokolle

Did you maybe check the “Back together” option?

It’s the same for me and other dispatch centers. “Stick together out” is not activated though.

Yeah partly, but they all move back and forth together anyway. And when they move out, there should still be a bit more of a time difference, currently it’s like they all go into S3 at the same second which is pretty unrealistic (of course it can happen occasionally but hopefully you understand what I mean :sweat_smile: ).

And before that it was different with the checkboxes set, I haven’t changed anything on them since creating them and since the latest patch (should be 4.8.87) it’s just like that

And if multiple vehicles from one station respond to an incident, do they also arrive/are dispatched in the same second? S4.

Couldn’t reproduce that now, all fire stations have “Joint Response” enabled everywhere

Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean, I find that extremely unrealistic and it was different before. There is a minimal time delay there, but still. Especially when pulling away, I find it weird.

Meanwhile, it’s gotten a bit better with deploying though
