Can someone enlighten me and I'm sure a lot of others of how ya'll run across your vehicles? I've found a lot of ammo, all the great guns and the only thing left for me to do is find a car and I can't for the life of me find one :P. Any help?

Can every car be repaired? I haven't actually seen one car yet, i'v even been in a heli, not land vehicles though. And, if they are repairable, how do i get the menu up to see what parts are needed please?

Me and my friend find a car and we had some parts with us like fuel tank, engine parts, scrap metal and 2 set of tires. But the problem was we couldn't find any interaction how to place these parts? There was only options Get in, Rearm at, Gear and Save. We tried to point at different places of the car but we couldn't find any other interaction options. So what we are doing wrong or are the vehicles broken at new patch? Have anybody managed to repair vehicles at the newest patch?

Hello All, I logged off at around 7pm EST last night from that server beside my vehicle and near some tents that I am sure were saved. When I logged back in at 10pm EST they were all gone. Was the server restarted? Does this remove persistent objects? Was the server wiped? At 7pm EST there were zero zombies on the server. I wonder what happened can anyone clarify this?

Humvees: M240 mounted Humvee: Range=90 kilometers. Fuel capacity=300 liters. Armament=One M240B machine gun mounted on the roof. Rarity=5-10 per server. Seats=5+1 gunner seat.(No idea for item slots) Very loud engine, and high profile (easy to see). Bullets should be deflected by the glass, but 2-3 rounds, depending on the weapon, would penetrate and hit a passenger. Speed on road: 100 kilometers per hour, off road 75 KPH. "Reconnaisance and transportation" Humvee: Transport Humvee. Range=130 kilometers. Fuel capacity= 350 liters. No armament. Rarity=4-6 per server. 7 seats, however should have DOUBLE the item slots of any other vehicle, as this is a transport vehicle. Should have slightly less armor than M240 humvee. Speed on road, 120 kilometers, speed off road 90 KPH. UH-60 BlackHawk: Transport chopper with side mounted miniguns. Seats=14+2 gunner seats. Just as many item slots as UH-1H Huey, maybe slightly more. (It is bigger) Top speed= 250 KPH. Fuel capacity=800 liters, range=900 KM (it is slightly more fuel efficient than the gas-guzzling Huey). Armament=2x door mounted M134 miniguns. Incredibly loud, should be louder than the Huey in this mod, and the sound of these BlackHawks should be louder than in the original game. I mean, seriously loud. Like-hear-it-from-a-mile-away-loud. This should only spawn at military fields, and spawn 1-2 per server. "Medevac" UH-60 Blackhawk: Transport chopper made for medevacing injured troops from the battlespace. Seats=12, plus two patient litters. This chopper should have at least 50 slots for blood bags, bandages, painkillers, morphine, Epipens etc. Top speed=275 KPH. Fuel capacity=900 liters, range 950 KM(it's an ambulance helo, if people are doing good deeds with it, then they should be able to get where they are going). No armament. But players should be able to fire their guns out of the aircraft. In the aircraft, players should be able to bandage, give morphine and painkillers, and blood to themselves and others, this is an ambulance after all. And remember, Devs, this is only a suggestion. If you don't like something, change as much as you wish. Could we get a mod in here to sticky this/send it to the devs?

Getting slightly bored with longterm survival now, our group would like to find some vehicles but it seems 99% of the servers don't have them. After days of walking across the whole map back and forth we found nothing. We were desperate enough to lower to serverhopping multiple confirmed vehicle spawn locations including those lesser known (not posted anywhere on forums), kept asking people as we hopped but nope. No signs of vehicles on majority of european servers we visited. So if you know about a server where vehicle spawns are working and admins can keep them working, please post it here. To start off I remeber that someone on EU3 supposedly found a repairable vehicle yesterday but I had no luck finding any. The server is pretty old I guess so it could be some #*@$% clan with heli radar stealing everything and putting it deep behind the edge of the map..

Of coarse all items placed can't carry over servers due it clutter and general madness it would create. But what if once you had completed a vechile it could be 'summond' as in spawnd on you at a push of a button only once per log in. Once its destroyed it's gone Anyone contributing parts would have this ability but only can be used per contribuitor per server. Not very realistic i know but if you've slaved over a vechile you want to keep it, and for many (myself included), fixing a heli and flying the fek out of there is the end game.

Date 24 May 2012 Time 22:27 Germany time Server FR4 Bug Went to camp and cannot get save option to come up in quick selection. Went to vehicles to check out gear inside and all gear is gone. Everything worked fine last night before hotfix. Also after hotfix could not repair or refuel vehicles. For all of these bugs we went through the correct steps in completing actions.

Just a couple of quick questions that I hope can be answered fairly succinctly... We all know tents and vehicles can store supplies, and act as little bases to go back to and dump loot in or store things safely when your backpack fills up. I've so far avoided using them because I don't know how long they last. Does a server crash result in your tent disappearing? Or a server reset, which some servers do every 4-6 hours? Or do tents / vehicles remain present and fully stocked after server resets/crashes? (I know they aren't persistent across servers, though.)

Since I've finally given up on ever finding NVGs, I decided to focus on a new objective: starting a taxi service. Problem is... I dunno where to look for repairable vehicles. I consulted the wiki, and it appears that almost every type of a vehicle can be found around Cherno. Still, before I venture there I wanted to first ask some of the more experienced players for confirmation and would also welcome some general tips on repairing vehicles.

Date/Time: 5/21/2012 9:30PM PST What happened: After the first server restart following the upgrade to 1.5.8.2 this evening, I logged back in to find the ATV that my friend and I had found and fixed was completely gone and everything in it. Also, after losing the ATV we searched around the places we had been driving to see if it had rolled back. Oddly enough, our tent (which we had emptied and taken down) had re-appeared after the server restart. It was empty, but there. Also, stuff that we had stolen from some guy's other tent had re-appeared, so we re-stole it. Where you were: The far northeast corner of the map on top of the hill north of that little inlet that sticks in to the map a ways. What you were doing: We were driving around looking for a new place to pitch our storage tent when people started talking about server resets. Immediately we got off the ATV and saved it on top of the hill. The server restarted and it was gone. *Current installed version: 1.5.8.2 *Server(s) you were on: Seattle (v1.5.8) dayzmod.com - hosted by the Anti-Sardine Alliance http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/66.150.164.111:2302/ *Your system specs: i5 Quad core 3.1ghz, 8 gigs of memory, 240GB SSD, ATI Radeon 5830 *Timeline of events before/after error: -Logged on immediately after the server shut down for the patch. -Searched around for firewood, food, etc -Left our storage tent, stumbled upon an ATV -Fixed the ATV -Drove the ATV to our storage tent and packed up everything including the tent -Drove away leaving nothing -Server restart happened -ATV was gone -Searched for the ATV back where our old tent was and found our old tent, but it was empty. We know it was my old tent because I was able to pack it up and take it again. Oddly enough, I had kept the original tent in my main inventory so now we have two tents. -Searched around where we originally found the ATV, but didn't find it. However, we did find that some stuff in another guy's tent had re-spawned. We had stolen it earlier, but it was back after the restart. We never did find the ATV, or all of the sweet gear that we were transporting with it. So sad :(

There should be a lot more vehicles including cars, motorbikes, boats and bicycles in towns, BUT: Towns should be more dangerous, with more zombies, making it harder to access vehicles AND Vehicles should require a lot of parts to get working, but once fixed should have realistic fuel usage It's a 225 square kilometer map. Make players work for the transport they need to get around it, rather than just not giving them any.

Just wondering if they all have to be built and repaired? I would suspect at least some cars would be spawn already good to go like in real life possibly only requiring gas. Can anyone confirm if some vehicles do not require fixing. Also in my time playing I haven't seen any accessible. I once saw a huey fly overhead that was about it which is apparently super hard to repair and find supplies for.

Just wondering since the release of 1.5.8.2 and all the dupe fixes and tons of other fixes if the devs will start to add vehicles back into the couple hundred new servers instance/mission id's that do not have them yet. I host 4 servers currently and as soon as my new ip is added to the hive 3-4 more. Its kind of a pain to have 4 servers that have no vehicles in them. I think that possibly adding vehicles to trusted hosts or something along those lines would be great. I will hate to be hosting 7-8 servers and all of them don't have vehicles in them. It simply takes a large amount of fun away from the server and sort of leaves the servers without vehicles at a disadvantage. Please consider starting to add them back in as i would love to have vehicles on my servers and im sure many other people would like to have them to. I am happy to host my servers as i get an enjoyment out of it but i sort of feel that since we can not run them how we want kicking/banning/passwording/locking all that stuff (which i have no issue with) that you should at least put all the servers on a level playing field. Not old servers have them and all new don't. As im pretty sure i read several posts saying that the servers should be run as close to the same as possible. I have helped numerous amounts of new server hosts setup there servers and when i tell them about the vehicles not being there i know 2 wanted to return there machine and one had a rage fit which i agree is childish but you have to see where they are coming from. You spend lets say $250 on an amazing machine get $0 in donations and can't even simply host a server that has all the things that were meant to be in the mod. Please take what said into consideration as im sure the community as a whole would be very excited to have the opportunity to actually get a vehicle.

i have yet to see any, even wrecks. Also no one has said they've seen any either.

The biggest vehicle you can get is a bus ? Can Urals or other military trucks , be found in DayZ ? I did check the post on what kind of "vehicles" we have but I overheard someone talking about a truck etc.. ? Help me out ?

Hi guys. Can't check my server just now as in work. Just wondering if anyone has had problems with vehicles reappearing. Git a heli and agree cars that have vanished according to players on TS3. Thanks

My friends and I have been searching all over for vehicles. We have seen a truck that was completed driving down the road. Do the vehicles look like that before you repair them? What are some suggestions on where to look for them? Thanks.

Hey it is not so funny without cars! Could you please push the vehicles to the EU 14 server? =)

I have some suggestions, hear me out: 1. Keys. Players should be able to drop keys for vehicles in certain areas to prevent stealing. The computer would detect whether or not the person had the keys on them. When the person went to disconnect, he could drop the keys somewhere random. Some vehicles obviously do not have keys. 2. Transportation Companies: Certain people, such as a group owning a helicopter, should be able to pick people up in exchange for money or goods. While the heli is hovering above a marked spot, the Survivor should be able to offer some goodies in order to board. The pilot should be able to deem the goods acceptable, and once so, the person should be able to get in the vehicle. 3. New Vehicles: Blackhawk helicopter, unarmed transportation Humvee (no guns, but more spaces for fuel and such) and generally more vehicles with more cargo space, more fuel efficeincy and passenger space. 4. Ability to spawn in on a friend. A person should have the ability to friend someone, and once they log in, should be able to spawn right behind them if they choose. 5. Garages. Folks should be able to keep their vehicles in a safe location, like a garage a person can build using scrap metal or something. 6. Clans. Obviously. Groups that you can spawn in on and hang out with. 7. Fortresses: If a certain number of people are ina town, zombies should no longer spawn in that town, as people may be guarding a safe zone. This would provide hope for lost survivors. Thanks!

Been all around the map and haven't found anything, same with everyone in my group Is this possible? Could there be a setting causing this?

I've only recently started playing DayZ but I'm not to sure how vehicles work... I know that there are multiple wrecked vehicles that the game automatically puts in but whats the distinctive difference between ones that sit there and ones that can actually be repaired and used? Related to the repairing of vehicles. Does it tell you what you need to repair it? ie, wheels/spare parts. Finally, once you successfully make a vehicle. Does it save? Such as, if I hide it somewhere in the forest and I log on the next few hours will it still be there?

I’ve tried asking for help on the IRC chat and other people on the forums but no one can figure it out. Here’s what happens when I start my servers: 1) Start HiveAuth.exe and wait until it connects 2) Start Hive.exe and wait until it connects 3) Launch one of my server batch files until the console appears 4) The first player joins 5) At this point…..HiveAuth.exe displays this and remains stuck on it: 6) When myself and others try to join they will be stuck on “Waiting for server response” forever 7) To make it work I have to restart HiveAuth.exe and Hive.exe during this time and immediately they start working and players spawn in 8) The problem is that it seems they skipped over the part where they load tents/vehicles into the server Lofty in IRC suggested that the problem could be that it tries loading vehicles for both servers and gets stuck: 13:46[bTB]Lofty_EU5 That could be part of the issue. one instance of hive will try loading vehicles for both servers when you restart it, so it might not know where to put them, hence HiveAuth getting stuck at TRY!..PUT! 13:47[bTB]Lofty_EU5 when it should stream TRY!..PUT!..GET! for a few lines The problem with that though is it happens if I try just launching one server I’ve tried everything it seems…multiple restarts, only launching one server, experimenting with opening the .exe at different times and no luck.
