FIRE VR - V 1.6.1

6 Apr 2023 | FIRE VR, Update

Virtualized fire extinguishers for FIRE VR:

Integration of uncontrollable fire 

Adding a powder extinguisher to forklift trucks in industry 

Removal of tutorial room doors 

Fire extinguisher test

🔥 The extinguisher must now be tested by spraying before being moved in front of the fire 🔥

The trainee must pull the pin and spray briefly into the vacuum to ensure that the extinguisher is working properly before being placed in front of the fire.

! Beware! Teleportation will only take place after the test!

Installing a fire extinguisher

You might want to temporarily install a fire extinguisher, for example, to check a door before opening it. Now you can!

Simply press the left-hand lever buttons to deactivate the extinguisher manually.
In this case, the extinguisher does not fall out and remains in its last position.
The joystick can be removed and the trainee instantly regains the use of his or her hands to open the door or move around.

If he wants to take the extinguisher back, all he has to do is reactivate it.

International
