Please add an option to skip driving
It's the most boring thing in the world and numerous missions are like 5 minutes of driving to spend 30 seconds putting out a trash fire.

Just hope they do not add false alarms :tank:

I read that currently this is an option for Multiplayer only at present, and you need to have completed the mission once...

I have not tried this but you could try to set your game to multiplayer 'invite only', this way the game is in multiplayer mode, but no-one can join you.

Worth a shot until they enable it for single player...

Or you could try and play with others, in most cases they seem more reliable at times than the AI :beatmeat:

Driving to the scene adds a sense of emergency and urgency is a key fundamental gameplay element.

Totally agree. It is the main reason why i really think about a refund.

5h in the game and I have to agree. If there was just an option to skip driving and have bigger fires that would be great

I love this game, I'll finish it eventually!! The driving, however, is just not worth it.

It doesn't add anything to the game in terms of challenge--the traffic is minimal at best and always gets out of the way.

It doesn't add any urgency at all. As long as you actually go to the site, the mission you selected will be there in the same condition as if you just popped in at the scene ready to go.

I'm not asking for driving be removed from the game entirely, I'm sure many people like it. But, I'd love for it to be optional because for me it is just a tedious chore that doesn't provide any sense of accomplishment or progression.

I'll be in the minority, and say I like it, only because of the challenge of trying to make the fast driving time, and because the updates dispatch gives you while you're on the way does add to the "immersion" or "atmosphere" or whatever. I don't see anything wrong with making it optional (just have a ride as a passenger mode and allow for you to ride in the passenger seat like in the opening mission, with it being skippable of course). I also like that sometimes the fires are just trash fires because, hey, that's what happens on calls, sometimes there's just a big dumpster fire because someone threw a lit cig into the trash.

Indeed, at least give us the option to sit in the passenger seat - like the introduction mission. Driving is the least fun part.
I like driving to the scene the first few times I play, but when people play for 30 minutes or longer, it becomes extremely tedious.

It would be just an option to skip... if you want to drive, drive, if not, hit the skip! I don't like the driving so much. It was fun in the beginning but now, just get to the action!

yes do skip driving

Considering it has been over a year since this feature was requested and it is still not implemented, I will be refunding this game before my trial period is over. I went to ONE fire and HAAAAAAAAAAAAATED the long AF driving.
