the game already has a "hot-wiring system" implemented. how else do you think you can hop in someone's car and drive off with it? adding keys to the game would just be clunky, obnoxious, and make it almost impossible to steal vehicles. it's a game and realism should only be taken so far - how many people do you think turned into zombies with their keys in their vehicles? most likely very, very few. the vast majority would have either run out of gas or been blocked by roadblocks, turned off their vehicle, and continued their journey on foot with their keys in their pockets. they could have made it miles from their vehicles before either dying or being turned into zombies. if they died from gunshots or were consumed by zombies, the keys would be left on the ground with their slowly decaying clothing and likely lost amongst the other clutter on the ground. if they turned into a zombie, well, what use do zombies have for keys? as a hungry zombie stumbles and runs through Chernarus, those keys could easily fall out of its pockets. and given time the keys would certainly fall out as the clothes begin to decay and tear from exposure to the elements and who knows what. but let's imagine you're a particularly lucky survivor and you find a pair of pants on a corpse in a supermarket with keys in the pockets. now what? you don't know what vehicle these keys belong to. if the roads are, as you say, littered with vehicles then you're going to have one hell of a time finding the single vehicle that will accept this key. maybe the vehicle is a burning hunk 5 miles south, but you have no way of knowing that. the keys that you just found are effectively useless to you. i say it's a damn good thing that DayZ assumes you know how to hotwire any vehicle you find. as for increasing the amount of useable vehicles on the map, yes it should be implemented and yes it has been mentioned many, many times before.

i'd suggest that you.... - download and use dayzcommander as your server browser if you aren't already using it. - use http://www.dayzdb.com/map to get acquainted with the map and item spawn locations. - use the comma "," key on your keyboard to toggle communication channels, the one you want to use is "direct communication," and yes you need to be close to someone to be heard. - if you break your legs and don't have morphine, find some zombies and invite them to feast upon you - the hours you spend crawling to a hospital will simply not be worth it. - play a lot - best way to gain an understanding of the mod

http://www.dayzdb.com/map click on icons to see what spawns where.

clever bandit, methinks, considering this sister post: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/80444-whos-on-right-now-with-a-group-of-people/ but not clever enough to put a different number in the other account name...

i find your avatar stunning =) xoxo what can i say, i have a soft spot for beans

i'm in chicago, i'll come pick ya up after work. dinner/movie?

you just play enough and lose enough until you reach the point where you feel nothing when you lose everything. maybe stare at the screen for like 30 seconds and then start again. the game is in alpha and battleye is trash, so deaths from bugs and hackers are facts of the game that you have to accept when you choose to play. you don't have to like it, but it's the way things are right now. i don't understand how hackers get off killing people either, but that's beside the point.

you can also scroll wheel and select auto hover while flying the heli - as the veg man said, definitely make use of auto hover when landing the chopper. turn it off right before you touch down though or it can grab terrain and flip your choppa.

lolol many beans to you

bear in mind that the heli will leak fuel (albeit slowly) until it is fully repaired - hop in the pilot's seat and check your icons on the top left-hand side of the screen. make sure you have fuel, and see if any of the words next to the fuel meter are red - this will indicate what you need to repair. if the heli won't start chances are one or more of the things listed below are broken, or you simply have no fuel. the minimum you need to get the heli off the ground is: 1 main rotor assembly 1 engine parts 1 scrap metal (to repair the rear rotor) ....and some fuel, obviously.

pfft this is madness

Yes - at least for me, I always respawn with 0 humanity - but humanity is completely screwed up right now. I've had the hero skin for the past week whilst happily murdering everyone I see, regardless of respawns.

AMEN BRO BCUZ ANTI-MATERIEL RIFLES R ONLY 4 SHOT TANK IN IRL .....ohwait.

As of 7:45 PM CDT player "Mark" is teleporting around the server, invisible, and breaking people's legs with a silenced M9.

you probably forgot to bring a parachute. they've got a .11% chance to spawn on top of the tallest industrial building in central Cherno - good luck.

so what, exactly, would the point of playing in third person be? just for those of us who really like to see the backs of our heads? anyone who plays in third person does it for the expanded field of view. don't like it? play on a server with it turned off. i'd have more respect for you if you just made another third person QQ thread rather than suggesting something like this.
