Interesting, thanks

Okay, I know it's dumb to attempt this as the game doesn't have full-fledged mod support yet but I managed to run my server with Arma 3's version of Namalsk without the server crashing. The issue I have is trying to connect to the server, I can't seem to point the DayZ client to load the Namalsk map without crashing. The "-mod=" and "-world=" parameters don't work with DayZ, it just causes the game to crash. The server log doesn't give me much insight as to what I'm missing. It just acts like I'm disconnecting normally. I gave it a shot and think this is as far as I can get without knowing exactly what's going on with the client. I was wondering if anyone else has tried to go beyond the current limits of running your own server? I think it would be really cool to be able to try a new map (not specifically Namalsk) before mod support arrives.

Also this could bring up the idea of scavenging for parts of that helicopter, not just what was in the gear. Depending on how that helicopter crashes I'm sure some parts would be intact.

This suggestion is only relevant if helicopters/other aircraft vehicles and helicopter crash sites will be implemented into the game. Let's say you found a helicopter in DayZ standalone, you load your gear and other valuables into it to save room, you take off. But "uh oh!", you've a novice pilot - you've never flown before! Oh well, "How hard can it be?". You take-off smoothly, you remember from those videos you've watched that auto hover is your best friend. You get to that perfect altitude and are ready to begin your journey, so, you turn auto hover off and tip the heli forward. "Whoops!" you've tipped too much, better pull back! "Uh-oh!", you've pulled back too much as well. You're beginning to panic! You struggle, pressing all sorts of keys trying to straighten out, by the time you scroll wheel over auto hover; BOOM! "You are dead". Now what happens to that heli? It is now a helicopter crash site, the gear that was in your helicopter is laid out on the ground for scavengers to loot.

Server's bumpin' I feel so proud :)

Server has been updated again, we're planning on adding the auto refill script shortly.

Server updated

We've added more choppers and planes to the server.

We're currently looking into the auto-refuel script as well as some others, updates will be posted here.
