Hey everyone, A group of friends and I rented out a server about 10 days ago and weve been trying to find an helicopter on it to no avail. Been to every known spawn point on the map but havent found it at all. The server was running 1.7.2.3 when we got it, so we updated it to 1.7.2.6, then to 1.7.3 after it came out. Crashsites have also been scarce, they showed up after we switched to 2.6, but we havent seen any since the update to 1.7.3. We used to have a private server where you could look up spawned vehicles repair levels, but you cant do that on a normal server. Any ideas on whats happening? Thanks!

Totally agree. This makes having a helicopter impossible. Yes you can argue you can go around and find jerry cans and fill it up, but the chinook, the Osprey and the other Huey use massive amounts of fuel compared to the normal huey. And since the fuel tanks are only found at the airfield and the industrial areas that players are always found, keeping them fueled is too risky. Rolling the server i run back to version 1.0 because of this reason.

Hey guys, Im not sure if its just me, but im getting stuck at the loading screen when logging into servers, specifically Vilayer ones. Me and a few friends opened up a HFB server and got the new Fallujah map loaded on it. For some reason, vehicles dont spawn on our server though so were planning on switching to a Vilayer server soon. Anyway, I've been playing on a few other Vilayer servers until we switch over. I found me a fairly decent Humvee that was loaded with gear. No one was around so I repaired it and drove away. An hour or so later, Im looting a hospital and the server kicks me. It didnt give a reason or a BE error, it just said "You have been kicked." I thought it was a fluke so I reconnected, pressed join and the game got stuck at the loading screen. Having dealt with loading glitch countless times, i go through all the steps to fix it, still get stuck. I start tinkering with the dayz files, reinstalled arma and oa, all the maps reinstalled, still get stuck. So I tried joining our HFB server thinking it would just get stuck and id need to wait for another Dayz update, but lo and behold it joined without any problems at all, although i was across map from where i got kicked. Spent a few hours playing on there, thinking id fixed it and got alot of gear i had lost earlier in the day. So i tried reconnecting once more, stuck at the loading screen. I tried a different Vilayer server, stuck. I tried an almost full server, stuck. A server that was completely empty, stuck. Out of frustration i tried a non-Vilayer server that showed up, joined without a hitch. Did I manage to get banned, which i might add isnt allowed by any server hosting service, for something legitimate in the game? And if so, how come im banned on ALL the Vilayer servers? I really need help on this, be pretty pointless switching to Vilayer if I cant join. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also as a footnote; anyone know why vehicles dont spawn in Fallujah on a HFB server? I havent seen a fix yet, already contacted HFB and they told us that the vehicles take time to spawn in. I cant see how thats true, ive found atleast 50 vehicles on other servers, none of which were HFB servers...

Sweet guide, wish it included loacations though. Spent so many lives just looking for the Ural... Though id have to say the UAZ and the Van are the best, I personally like the Van, i mean look ITS BLUE!!! Then again that makes it hard to hide...
