They're on by default. They have a random timer of spawning. It took my server 3 days to finally spawn them once it was online.

Lol we just like having fun. Just on team speak. Not like shooting each other or anything like that.

I think it just depends on the moon/stars cycle with the time. I was playing on my server and it was pitch black and an hour or so later the stars and moon were out and I could see about as good as the second picture. I'm using the default settings from the server files.

We're 1000s beyond that and it started showing up for us last night.

I made my own batch file and put it in the ArmaIIOA directory. I then use Windows Scheduler to run it once every 12 hours (I know shorter is recommended but my server runs fine like this). In the batch I put: echo off taskkill /im arma* DayZ.bat exit

We got our server up on 7/3 and just had them start spawning last night (7/5). I think it takes time for new servers.

Vehicles started spawning tonight. Had some fun! We got rocked stealing some dude's bus lol.

Of course I was assuming you were putting it in a colo.

With the hardware listed and assuming you have the required bandwidth - Yes However Windows 7 isn't supported AFAIK. I believe only Windows Server 2003/2008 64bit are.

Sorry to hear that guys. I know how you feel as I've been in that situation plenty of times with other hosts and other games. Hopefully it works out. If you have the money for it and the knowledge to support it, I'd recommend getting a dedicated server. I used to rent "servers" from hosting companies but after many, many burns with lag and support issues, I got a dedicated box and never looked back. It's more expensive but you get what you pay for and you can host other things on it too.

Ahh figured you had full access to the server. Sorry then, guess you'll have to wait for the host unfortunately.

You should be able to alter both in the server.cfg file you have under cfgdayz folder. The server name line should be obvious. To restrict the beta, visit the link below: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=14685

Honestly it's host preference. There's plenty of other servers to play on that don't have these settings. With more and more servers going up by the day, the options will only get better.

Taiwendo, not to be rude but are you sure you're running the latest version of the server software? Might not hurt to redownload the server-side files and overwrite the ones you have. Also update the beta version you're running on it if you haven't to 94444.

Updated with a little more information in main post.

My server is just a few days old and I found a rotor assembly today. No vehicles yet though.

I think they all got renamed. They're hosted by vigilant. Just filter vigilant and check each server.

Wooo got our butts kicked tonight! Some serious snipers out 15m east of NWAF.

Is there any other way then changing the windows clock in the server?

Come hang with us if you want MGS. We've got a pretty big group.

Yeah Peep, I've tried too and crosshairs are still on for my server.

I recall reading that on new servers they're slow to spawn. As in it takes hours. Not sure if this is true though. I just restarted the server to put the timezone to the posted one +10GMT. Sorry for the inconvenience. We're trying to also get crosshairs disabled but waiting.

Are you sure it's an admin kicking you from the server and not something else (wrong beta, etc)?
