Check DayZDB for locations. Currently on 0.51 stable the 3 possible crash sites per server restart only occur on servers without persistence. Look for those. You can search the forums for guides on how to search for crash sites too. Good luck!

They don't spawn on persistence ON/Enabled servers. Look for persistence off or disabled. Best way is not to server hop, but hope the server only restarts ever 4 or 6 hours, and to search 80-90% of the locations. I found lots of crash sites. Currently on 0.51 , found 0 in around 35hrs on 7 different persistence on servers, and now tonight after playing about 3 hours on the same server, private hive, persistence off, I found 3 crash sites. The only 3 possible crash sites. Very close to one another. 1 x Mi-8 and 2 x UH-1Y. Have fun on your search!

I confirm what larsehh_ is saying.

I'm wondering the same thing. I tried them but still can't select which channel to speak, it stays in direct communication. Hoping this gets fixed.

The mosin grass wrap that used to be doesn't work anymore and has been replaced, so it seems the old files are still in the game so it created the visual glitch. These will become rare for players who don't remove it and keep it glitched... :lol:

On some private shard. Just found 2 things I had never found before. I had seen helicopter crash sites, with M4s and all the possible attachments, but somehow never had stumbled upon any skull balaklava, and finally on the same crash with 2, yes, 2 Steyr AUG, the elusive skull balaklava! :rolleyes: Side note, the AUG is the only weapon I ever found damaged, and a small graphical glitch in the menu where the left hand isn't correctly placed on the hand grip.

This was at Prud, north of Stary Sobor and Novy Sobor. http://dayzdb.com/map#6.066.060 Used to love this place in the mod, and I still do in the SA, just rarely go there anymore.

Which ones more specifically? Those screenshots are from many parts of the map. (Prud, Lopatino, Berezhki, Dobroe, etc.)

New character started today. No experimental possible as there are none currently. Fresh spawn between Cherno and Elektro, found the netting on the boats near the shore between the two said towns. Private shard server US775 Complete Day/Night cycle No PW.

I've found netting at the small boats today on stable. Those you came across might have been looted. They still spawn wellies, raincoats, boonies, fishing hooks, rope and netting.

Are you gonna paint the mag black or leave it like that? Also, did you find the smersh vest at a chopper crash site or from a dead h*bastard? Crazy looking character! Very mean looking tacticool, and DayZ holy grail at the same time... lol :thumbsup:

This was indeed from stable. It's interesting that they see it as a bug. Sadly now 3 AKs will share the very rare PSO scope. This is something I really don't like, as the AKs are too similar as of now. Anyway, we'll see what they do with this in the future, but personally I would have either put the Ak74 or the AK101(Ak74m) in game, not both, but that's just me. Can't wait till they fix other weapons, such as the CR527 which uses the same sound fx as the mosin. Or the MP5k, which have the option to attach the OEM buttstock, but that was removed from game completely. Anyway, thanks for the correction and let's hope the weapons get more "love" eventually. ;)

The current AK74 is just like that as you can't mount a PSO on it. Other than that I agree with the changes you mentioned. I doubt they will happen though, maybe when we get mods.

Correction, neither the AKs74u or AK74 can mount the PSO currently. Only the AKM and AK101 can.

There's a possibility someone saw the old message while playing, but it would be needed in my opinion, as the last time we had the global wipe was mostly to get rid of the duped items, and it's currently the same situation if not worst than before. I never saw so many SMERSH vest everywhere in many Youtube videos without ever seeing one spawn.... :( The duping will be a problem until we get the single item signature making duplicates disappear. When we get this, I hope we get another global wipe. Of course I got a lot of stuff on some characters that is somewhat rare and that I'm proud I have in my inventory, but 75% of enjoyment I get from DayZ is starting fresh and gathering specific items for my character. Anyway, it's only a rumor, but eventually we'll need more wipes to get rid of all the duplicates. :thumbsup:

Very nice repeater shots! But, what's up with all those nades next to you, and the yellow protector case?? :huh:

You were duping your body.... A cheater caught a hacker. :rolleyes:

Hmm. Seriously after a lot of testing and playing, the AK101 is overall better than the M4. It as less recoil, slightly better projectile velocity and the PSO scope with integrated range finder is still better than the ACOG. I really like the M4, but the AK101, while using the same ammo, has higher "stats" and overall performs a little better than the M4. Having a 60 round mag doesn't do much for the M4 when players don't know how to aim for 2 cents... The data we read on wikis and such don't mean nothing, as after testing all the weapons in real situations and comparing them in-hand, personal experience contradicts the data, as it's flawed in many ways. I'll believe what I already know is true, instead of what I'm told. In the end, it doesn't matter at all. Take the weapon you like, as I've killed players armed with AKM and M4 using an 1911...

DayZ is called DayZ not because of DayZombie but Day Zero. Also, in the "lore" of DayZ, the "zombies" (infected living humans) are not dead, so there's no reason for your character to come back as a zombie once he's dead. Lastly, again in the "lore" of DayZ, every player character is supposed to be immune from the infection and can't become one of the infected roaming around the map. I like the idea in zombie games that once your character dies, he becomes a zombie. (Check Contagion, and a bit similar to this, but not controllable once you become one, The Dead Linger.) It's a great idea for zombie games, but DayZ isn't a zombie game. (I know, weird right? :lol: )

You mean the orange color right? Because it's the same mag as the AK101. I repainted my AK74 black, and it looks just like an AK101. Personally I like the AK101 better, but if I had to take an AK74, I would swap the parts for the AKM ones, as the gun then looks just like it's ArmA2/DayZ mod counterpart. Same with the AKM, while using the AK74 parts.

I've tested both a lot, and I have to say that overall the AKM is slightly better. In terms of damage it out-performs the AK74, but has more recoil. Basically the AK74 look and feels much like the AK101 with a very high velocity projectile and low recoil, but unlike the AK101 or the AKM, the AK74 can't mount any scopes for now. Personally I like the AK101 the most, then the AKM and lastly both the AK74 and AKS74u, but the AKM is overall the "best" out of them.

Best luck would be the Myshkino military tents.

:lol: Thanks for the funny video. :thumbsup:

That's very old news. Don't know what the fuss is all about.

Very nice! :thumbsup:
