Could you repair a bicycle with car wheels IRL? No. Could you repair several kinds of vehicles with the one same wheel, engine or fueltank IRL? No. These are some of the conditions for vehicles going apeshit; • You hit a DayZ Object and get stuck on it. • You hit an object and one or more of your tires goes pop and you get stuck. • Engine(Not hull) is destroyed(If orange, you might wanna consider playind 'defensively' until you find another Engine). And the usual ATV and Tractor stuff. Stay away from those 2. From my experience the safest vehicles are: 1. Ural(NOT V3S) 2. BAF Rover(Military Offroad) 3. Bus Edit: To answer the question; If a vehicle has blown up and caught fire, it CAN NOT be repaired. You will have to wait for a server restart, then the vehicle will respawn at its spawn location. On a side-note, the DayZ Wiki is full of outdated information and bullshit.

Server-side Hotfix 0.7.2, Helicopter status and server info

Server-side Hotfix 0.7.2, Helicopter status and server info
dealman replied to Vipeax's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Can confirm that it will start leaking(Albeit slowly) when damaged, have yet to repair it enough to stop. For those of you telling us to, you can't repair the fueltank on the Huey. Huey also seems to be desyncing a whole lot, but not more so than other vehicles - seems to be on par, it's just very weird to see the helicopter go upside down for a few seconds, also makes shooting things very difficult. A patch to fix vehicle desyncing in general would be very welcome. Vehicles desync depending on the amount of players, usually 30+ will cause the vehicles to desync very often - as in going off-course and through buildings, sometimes up in the air. This has been around for long, and is annoying - but not really gamebreaking in itself. Although I can confirm that desyncing can get you killed, a friend of mine desynced and got killed(Teleported to where he died split-second after he actually died.), most likely some other guy saw him standing still on his screen - and shot him, thus he was killed. This occured on a highly populated server, with the Hatchback. Seeing as vehicles are one of the biggest features of DayZ, I'd love to see them getting some love. Example of issues; • ATV unreliable, likes to flip over when off-road(More common when uphill). Also gets stuck on bridges. • ATV goes airbourne if pushed when flipped over or stuck on a bridge. • DayZ specific objects seem to cause extreme damage, can ram trees and houses no problem. But if you hit a roadblock and your tire gets flat, the vehicle will blow up(V3S and Tractor is great to re-produce this issue with.). Edit: Am surprised yours even started. You can ferry items over to the island no problem, your gear should not disappear(This have yet to be confirmed whether its disabled by Server Admins or DayZ Devs!). Vehicles respawn on server restart. -

Keep in mind servers most likely have to restart for the huey to actually spawn. And most of those servers that have restarted are locked or kicking. I got banned from a server the moment I finished loading in, which also had 4 guys playing, guys from the same clan. I won't give up searching for a helicopter, I just think that it's a really cunt move to lock your own server in order to find and repair the helicopter without any competition whatsoever. -

Well, congratulations to all server owners. Just look at the server browser, like 30% of all servers are locked - fairly sure it's only to find a helicopter. And if there's only 1 helicopter per server, well, was at least nice to hear they're back :P -
If I recall correctly this was because you were running a different ArmA 2 Beta Patch(Newer, since Older would(Should) not work at all). I too think that this is a really infuriating issue that has to be resolved soon. Too many times have this very issue made me lose the interest to play DayZ at all. Hell, if we could even abort the Loading without having to quit the game - that'd be golden.

UK34, EXCESSIVE Admin Abuse [With Proof]
dealman replied to theorix's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Yes, you've tried to provide evidence - which is good. The thing is, your evidence doesn't prove anything - it almost does the opposite, prove you wrong. You say the server was locked, when it obviously wasn't. You could see 1 player playing, so you instantaneously assume this is the Admin. Vilayer has been having serious issues with their servers, this one obviously included. And this happened to occur at the same timeframe as they were having issues. Also the screenshots you provided, more specifically, the one without a base proves nothing what so ever. You can't prove in any way that the server in that picture was UK34. You could just have joined another daytime server - and claim it's UK34 without the base. I'm not saying either of you are guilty or some saint here, but you lack proper evidence to really accuse him of doing anything wrong. -

UK34, EXCESSIVE Admin Abuse [With Proof]
dealman replied to theorix's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
If he were to re-locate the base, the tents would still be there unless he destroyed them. I'd like to see Theorix prove that his screenshot with the base being gone is actually UK 34, and not some other server. I'd also like to say that Tents and Vehicles alike can disappear on a server restart, me and a few of my friends were at our base on UK92 messing about and the server crashed. We came back in, and it was all gone except the tents. The tents were there and had in fact been duplicated, but were empty. I'd also like to see Leavaris to post his logs - to strengthen his words. I've read the Vilayer thread and a lot of people have had trouble with this provider for a few days(Not just 3-5 hours like someone else said.). -

Me and my friends may use the [bP] tag as well, though it's not our "proper" tag - we do not play with those users and nor would we want to. We used to play a lot on UK63 but the rest of my friends decided to change server because it went too unstable - so I tagged along. Before the server went unstable we were having a good time and I can't say that I have seen any abusive behavior in any way. After reading this Thread I think it's fairly obvious that Rageness is making this stuff all up, mostly because the lack of evidence to strengthen his words. I know the Lulz guys are a nice bunch of players, and had I been in the same spot as you Rage, I would've been disappointed myself - but I sure as hell wouldn't go and bitch about it on the DayZ Forums blaming the admins for abusive behavior. After I naded their Jeep and we cleared the area some weeks ago, the server crashed. DayZ is in Alpha, you can't expect it to work flawlessly and blame the Admins as soon as a server crashes and/or goes down for a while. -
Nice lol, I just killed some guy in a Ghillie suit that were camping Elektro with a DMR. First I ran past him and only barely managed to see his head under a tree, ran around randomly trying to convince him I didn't see him - saw he changed to sidearm, so I ran up to him. He hit me once with the M9SD, he even reloaded once, had to hit him like 3 times with the hatchet before he died, got some nice loot, coyote backpack, DMR, M9SD with ammo, NVG and etc. Me and a friend were just running around with hatchets messing about and we heard him, so we thought we'd try to kill him lol, felt pretty dickish to kill a guy with a DMR and generally good stuff... ... with a Hatchet. Edit: And yeah about the Lee Enfield, it's pretty accurate and has a really nice ironsight. It's a great weapon despite being loud, sure, not the fastest fire-rate but one shot WILL take you down and most of the times out :P
