Nice map, keep in mind tho that Helis can spawn anywhere in an open field, of course with a map like yours, if you check all the spots, you have also checked all the open fields... Edit: edited out the image as it takes alot of space, the map in question is the last post on the previous page.

Yes, the "gear" icon (Gun with some ammo beneath it) will show up. The furthest away I have ever seen is about 5 meters, not too far away... I have been inactive for some time due to personal problems, but I am back baby :)

Not as much true/false, more like... "info". Anyways, yes, I am aware that the square is not perfect, which I have corrected in the comments...

Yes, I understand you now, thanks for elaborating on your post :) Parachuting out of the Huey IS possible, but it can often be buggy and lead to death. Especially ejecting while the chopper is descending or going at full speed can be risky behavious. Personally I have never died from ejecting at speeds lower than 100km/h with a steady altitude.

Not accusing you of saying I am wrong (Hey, the info I have posted is based mainly on my own experiences and some from my squad). And in retrospect I can agree that the red square is "wrong" (In the sense that some people claim to have found heli crashes outside of here, I myself included). And yes, I can agree, you may very well use that map and make your own route (I would actually recommend making your own route, if this thread gets popular, then yes, some sad sacks will probably camp the route.) If you take a look at the southbeach map and the DayzDB map that I used, there are marked Heli crashes in pretty much every open field, so yes. This map may be "correct" in the end, if you follow this map and visit all these spots, you are bound to find atleast 50% of the crashes on the server... But in the end, I wanted to "encourage" more exploring, all the spots marked on the southbeach map CAN have crashes, but there can also be crashes outside of these spawns. And you are in no way more likely to find a heli crash at a place cluttered with crash markers on that map, then to just visit a large, open field. Anyways guys, I'm off for the night (2:30 AM here). Keep throwing questions at me and I will answer them in about 10 hours. Edit: Also, if someone is able to prove me wrong, I take it with a smile, it just means I learned something I did not know :)

Sounds interesting, sadly it's in german so I will have to improvise what each word means, but seeing as english (and norwegian for that matter, as I am Norwegian) are both Germanic languages I shouldnt be too far off. Thanks for the link, the truth is im just going to get google to translate it for me. Just so I get a little boost in the start, I am suppose to download the "Helikopter.rar" and then all the info is in the pdf, right? Right. Edit2: To be honest, it seems like these are really just tutorials to make good Aram2 videos, and the "Helikopter.rar" just gave me a .pdf about, what seems to be a tutorial on how to make helicopters fly "autopilot" in Arma2... Neither of which really helps in a guide for Helicopter Crash Sites...

Done, hopefully people read it aswell :)

Personally I have not seen spawns that far east the last two months (the patch where the crash sites got reworked), so untill someone is able to provide a screenshot and/or I find one there myself, I will not bother opening paint again and having to re-do the whole map :( It's a real hassle, you guys! I gotta stretch that thing...

Yes, this is correct. If you want to be as silent as possible you can always do what I have done numerous times (actually did it like 4 hours ago after respawning). Run in, pull all the zombies, take them with you about 75-100 meters, shake them off, run back and loot. Naturally, this is risky behavour if there are people scouting it. But as previously stated; rarely anyone camping it. And I do agree, the respawn time is a hassle, you really don't have much more than approx two minutes to loot it, which is why, if you know where to look. You should be done in a minute, or less. The patch bringing in the new spawns for crash sites was implemented about two months ago, so you might have caught it right before that patch went out. (About 06.18.2012, don't butcher me if the date is wrong, its an aproximate. No problem for converting it into the silly "month-first-american-standard" for you people, as it seems a majority of players are american.)

Hi! I can tell you clearly did not read OP, it's generally a good idea to get a basic grasp of what it contains as it usually has some decent information. If it's too long for you, I'll shorten it down for you: These maps are outdated, these are pre-NewHeliSpawns. Next time you should take a look at the patch notes, pretty clearly stating that the spawns are now random in any open field (inside the red square on my map). Don't worry kiddo, I am used to meeting autistic people with the attention-span of a squirrel on the internet, and reading a "wall of text" can often be hard, which is why I made it prettier with some pictures for you, you are welcome!

There is already a jungle map (Lingor Island), and I hear there is a less played map based on Fallujah. Neither of these are officially supported, sadly, in the end, that works alot better as they have alot more protection against hackers, aswell as actually being able to ban people without having to post it on the forum.

Who the fuck snipes in Berezino? * Who the fuck even goes to Berezino? But yes, I abort if a hacker comes along. (Especially when they summon everyone) Other than that, really, no. There are multiple times where I have been in the forest, suddenly I break my leg from proning over a stone (that should be fixed by now), or some other situation where it's just me and a buddy or two in the forest all alone and I end up bleeding and/or becoming unconscious. Where I am not able to bandage myself, I often bleed out rather than alt+f4 and wait for them to locate where I am.

Are you sure that these spawns were after the crash site spawns got reworked? I myself have never seen any of those spawns you talk about, mostly because I am never in that area, the closest I have been has been one spawn fairly close to Berezino. (If not right inside the red line, not much more than a hundred meters away)

Updated OP with more info.

Yes, I realise now that the square I marked up in paint might not be entirely accurate and might extend as much as 500-700m further north. As for parachutes, I am fairly certain that the HUEY (UH1H) that is infact the "DayZ Chopper" has parachutes, so my point still stands.
