helicopters don't fit in this game at all anyway. the only thing people use them for are looking for tent cities and vehicles on the map. yea if a zombie apocalypse happened and i had a fully functional chopper i would circle around a small area looking for tents and vehicles to rob instead of escaping, SMH.

At some point the there was a de-sync. That or the chopper was initially spawned by a hacker, then damaged. Hacker-spawned vehicles disappear upon server restart.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a partner to wander around with and search for loot and vehicles. I'm looking for a mature person, preferably American or English, who is already midway through a character and has supplies and a weapon, as I do. It would be nice for you to be around Cherno or in the West area, so we don't have to travel to find each other, but that is not a necessity. Skype is a must. Post your steamid here and we'll talk.

Yes. Hackers can also teleport vehicles. Further, since vehicles spawned via script will disappear after server restart, hackers actually have to find and steal legit vehicles. Not sure why people are pointing fingers at admins. These things are commonly done by hackers on a daily basis.

Id say that admins probably can see what happens to vehicles. The other night I logged into a server with about 3 players on. Was running through the forest at night and saw a load of chemlights on the floor around a few vehicles. There was a player doing something around them so I shot him...about 20 seconds later I was kicked and couldn't get back in without getting kicked again. I logged back in to the server the next morning and one of the admins was online (said admin in the brackets next to his name on the setup screen). No1 was at the camp so I stole a few items from the vehicles and then started shooting one (for kicking me the night before) of the urals. After about 5 shots it disappeared and I could hear it driving off in in the distance!! Gutted I didn't have a grenade to blow them up in 1 shot!!!

Even with graphics up, it's very easy to spot someone, if you have NVGs. They probably initially spotted the zombies. When you travel in vehicles/aircraft zombies don't spawn, so if you spot zombies, you know someone else is on foot in the area. One of my friends tried to parachute out of my chopper, the chute bugged and he fell to his death. Although he jumped from a fast moving chopper and crash dead into a forrest, it took me less than 30 seconds to find his corpse, hovering over the forrest. One the other hand, we also spotted a car with headlights on, we thought it was easy pickings, but the passangers exited the car with the engine running and the headlights up and the lights completely drowned out our NVGs. I don't know if road flares would have similar effect, but if they already have a bead on you, maybe it's worth a try.

I've had tents just disappear on me twice now on two separate servers, all tents and vehicles i knew about in the area where also gone, it was possibly map wide. And no, its been two days now, many restarts, and no tents

Posts this, locks for four hours to grab vehicles. Waiting for it.....

Can confirm. A member of our group got ported, so we parked out vehicles and logged to the lobby. Could see loads of people dropping.

Vehicles are lovely, but they attract hackers. FN FAL is a wonderful gun for both PVP and PVE. NVG's are nice, but just don't play on night servers. Ghillie suits are rare, but very well worth it. I have a few stories myself of people actually getting stuck on my prone body as they run past. To put it simply: The more you play, the more you'll find this gear. You may not find it alone, however. Perhaps you should try joining a somewhat serious group of players.

Vehicles are overrated. FN FAL is worse than a Crossbow in practicality. Ghillies again, aren't all that. NVG's? Don't play at night.

Only had some issues with tents after updates, lost a good amount of stuff to that... But, don't cry over alpha sicknesses. It's safer to store in tents than in vehicles.

the bugs in the game are obvious areas for improvement so I'll leave those out of this and just list things I'd like to see improved overall, or added. More Fluid Zombie Animations. Varied Zombie AI and Defensive Levels. (Zombies that are smarter than others, and Zombies that are harder to kill than others.) Headshot only Zombie Kills (other shots still injure and cripple them) Fully Explorable Buildings (Chernarus) More Maps Less available military weapons. (It's too easy to get great gear currently) Higher variation in loot tables. (there's a reason everyone camps the 4-5 locations all the good gear can be found) Proper player grouping options (ArmA 2 Limitation?) Clan system Buildable Hardpoint Structures (deployed, mannable gun emplacements) and Forts. Vehicle Camoflage More clothing options Harder to attain vehicles more vehicle types (including extremely rare armored vehicles) Sturdier, yet extremely rare and very hard to repair Heli's Also more types of helis, (no lock-on type weapons - who else would like to have the agile Little Bird, or the big cargo Chinook to tool around in?) Randomized Spawn locations based on vehicle class. More storage options (ammo crates for starters) More personal carrying options (backpack + vest + cargo pants - carryable Duffle bag in place of primary weapon / Makes you slower but more equipped - great for squad roles "medic, gunner, marksman" cargo options help define classes.) No fixed classes - roles should be decided by players not mechanics non-infected (hireable? to man fort defenses during off-hours) NPC's More Melee weapons Faster swimming and boats Spawn Location Choices (seriously, I start with nothing, what could it hurt if I get to pick which spot on the beach I spawn in?) Scripted NPC Heli/Jet/Cargo Plane pathing to attack and loot. No more random spawn crashed choppers Scripted Military and Civilian NPC Convoys to attack and loot Scripted random Supply Drops from the Heli/Cargo planes (do I shoot it down, or try to follow it around for a while?) Expanded world to include the "dead" space beyond the map borders (seriously, there's like 400 square km of usable, unused space around the primary map) Functional (rare) parachutes Farther viewable range. It constantly being foggy at 700m gets old. Occationally you should be able to see for several KM if you have the computer to handle it. If not, then why put the 50 cal's in the game? Generators and power-grid availability with fuel costs. no RPG Style player skills or perks (abilities should be based on player intelligence, not a discrete set of in-game skills) I think that about covers it for me..... for now.

Last night, someone broke into our camp and stole all (4 vehicles and 4 tents with weapons and supllies). That we were on his side, the only way someone has been there with our stuff was for a kind of teleportation. He left only a bicycle U.S. 101 Dayz Mod is lost because of hackers. Follow the screenshots: Before: (03 August) After (04 august):

Weapons still saves, camo and vehicles dont. The only weapons you can spawn in DayZ, are those that are still included in the classnames, most of them saves. Such as AS50 tws, m4a3 holo + sd + grenade launcher etc.

They do not have radar, even if they did, "people" dont show on radar, only aircraft, vehicles and tents. With graphics on very low, its very easy to see into forest and bushes since barely any leafs show, they probably just spotted you.

To all players on US 362, we will be wiping our server this weekend & changing it to Veteran mode to help reset the vehicles, tents, ect.. Everything will be back to default positions. Sorry to anyone who's got items in certain location, but we want to clean the server & restart to ensure all players start out the same. We do hope you continue to make our server your home & your welcome to join our community & become a member of AGW (ArmedGlobalWarfare.com). We are currently building up our player base for Arma 3, we could use players who want to be part of a community that continues to grow. We will be hosting PvP campaigns once A3 releases.

There might be a bug with Vehicles. We repared 2 Vegicles and ne helicopter on one server and two vehicles on another. The hid them and saved several times ofc. After a server retsart on one server the vehicles were unrepaired at the spawn point again and on the other no car at all ws there. After another server retsrat on this one all vehicles including helicopter were at the spawn points again unrepaired. Happend on two servers so i guess there might be something broken in general

So just rented a 50 slot server and was wondering why no vehicles have spawned into the world yet. Is it something i have done or have not done? if anyone could let me know when vehicles should start to spawn into the world on a new server that would be cool. Thanks Cortez

I've had that happening with several vehicles I've found.

We have 6 vehicles on a server we play on, and we do need them all when your group has about 15 people. A ural, V3, motorcycle,UAZ, and 2 pickups. We need it for storage, and transportation.

I'd also like to see more vehicles, I have driven a tractor and quad bike in game, they don't last long anyway, my tractor ran out of fuel and i flipped my quad bike

No this thread is meaningless because the server will be down within the month. If you have issues with the clan or what happens with it feel free to post on the community forums instead of in this thread. Im done with this thread, nothing is going to be changed. Bans are set, we raided your duped shit near Novy, Alz gave us the location. I find it intriguing that we all have camps and Cik and myself have our own in which we rarely see something dupe. Maybe thats because we save our tents, vehicles everytime we modify the contents. We have tents down, they don't magically just stack ontop of there selves after a server reboot, infact we spent a few hours trying to find tents recently. Please explain to me how you placed 25 tents with multiple areas piled upon each others on accident. I'd say thats about 20+ oops that tent duped scenarios. We have had 3 tents at our depot camp for over 2 weeks and none of them magically just spawned a new tent. Either way, as I said, this thread is pointless. We ban for hacking, I know maybe the term is a bit ambiguous in a sense considering this game is riddled with numerous ways to do this. Or what you may consider a hack. That is why we are moving to a more stable game that hopefully isn't plagued by carpet bombers, thunderdomers, oops I duped a tenters, teleporters, item spawners, sheep, cow, changers, instant health 100% buttoners, ect ect..... The list goes on and on. Quite frankly im tired of trying to weed out whos doing what. I had an easier time finding hackers in other games that didn't require me to perform brain surgery and a CSI investigation in order to prove someone cheated. And I sure as hell don't feel the need to explain myself as an admin everytime I make the choice to remove someone from a server that is paid for.

I'm honestly not sure. The only thing I can find in my logs pertaining to vehicles is the things like the following; _id = player spawn spawn 01.08.2012 01:52:28: Not Stoupie (ip address ommited) - #36 icopter" || _v iskindof "plane") then { _v setVehicleInit "[this] spawn BIS_Effects_AirDestruction"; I'm not really sure what I'm looking at, so I don't know if they can be used to track vehicles, but I think not. All of them seem to be recorded when players interact with vehicles.

I personally prefer AS50, it has more stopping power and is quieter than DMR plus it's great at disabling vehicles. If it's night time in the server and I have nvg's then of course I would use DMR since it's the only sniper rifle compatible with nvg's though my favorite sniper rifle in dayz is SVD. :)
