Vehicles respawn if they're not used for 7 days. But yes, people storing them on the edges of the map is a problem.

Sup the population of this game has increased by alot and hundreds of players frequenting each server and leaving vehicles lost and never to be found again or hoarding vehicles outside the map. Also not enough vehicles, you can literally search all day and quite possibly never find a vehicle, gargantuan waste of time.

You don't play enough so you don't know. It's not hard to search with friends in wilderness. And it's very easy if you got quad/motorcycle/bicycle (i prefer the last one). We search only on full server cuz there more chances when you can heard fire shots or vehicles engines.

Hello. I'm one of the administrators on Seattle 71. Thanks for reporting this camp to us. All of the tents at the reported camp location, and all of the gear in the tents, have been destroyed. We've also deleted all of the gear stored inside the vehicles at said camp, and the vehicles have been moved and destroyed. At around the same time as this incident occurred, we suspect someone ran an auto-kill script on the server. Several players reported all dying at the exact same time at various places across the map. We brought down the server while we investigated this matter. Some admins suspected that you were the one who ran this script, and you were hastily banned in the process. The ban has been reverted and we invite you to continue playing on Seattle 71. We take reports like this very seriously. If you have any concerns about our server in the future please feel free to PM me, or any Seattle 71 admins on the forums.

Today I was driving around in one of my vehicles (pickup) and I came across a guy without any guns, so I decided to pick him up. He wanted to go to a pharmacy since he was infected and kept passing out so I drove to one. In the pharmacy he passed out and I waited for him to wake up, when he woke up I was busy killing zombies and he ran to my pickup and drove away with it. I popped all the tires so I could run after him, after a while he crashed into a fence and exploded. This is the last time I will be friendly towards anyone that I am not talking to in a VOIP program or something similar. So I'd say, go for the kill. That's what I am going to do everytime from now on. If the odds are against you avoid them or just pretend that you are friendly if it's a situation that you can't avoid and run away or kill the person when he has lowered his guard.

so ive been watching destinys stream and he has been playing Dayz for almost a month now. he has played it so much that i took a slight interest in it and wanted to possibly try it out. however there is one problem with that, i do not have arma 2 combined op. so in order to play this game i will have to fork over $30. Normally i do not mind doing this, but its apparent that the game is in alpha with a crap ton of bugs and glitches infesting it. sooo, with that said i want to get some info before i decide to play Dayz. first off i want to make it clear that i am not interested in the actual game arma 2, im only interested in the Day z mod. now i know that might be controversial to some people, but the fact that im even considering to spend money just to play a FREE mod version of a game says alot about its popularity and its quality in terms of fun. so please do not give me the lectures about how great of a game arma 2 is because i do not care and i wont listen. if i ever want to play the actual game then i will, but this is about Dayz and not arma. anyway, onto my questions. 1) i know arma 2 is in the alpha phase right now. so does that mean there will be a beta and even a "full/official" release? 2) what exactly is the future of this game? its longevity is very important to me because i do see ALOT of potential in this mod. do the devs have any plans on expanding this game beyond a simple mod for arma? perhaps release it as a full game with its own engine and storyline? 3) how long has this mod been available exactly? i know it's fairly new and recent, but exactly how young is it? 4) will new items/weapons/vehicles/etc be added to the game in the future? or is it basically limited by what arma 2 can do? (which i assume the answer is yes, but just in case ima ask it) and that's all the questions i have for now, most of the questions i did have were found by lurking the forums. thanks ahead of time for answering my questions.

Supposedly there is still this issue: https://dev-heaven.net/issues/32339 This issue existed with cars earlier, as well. It has been fixed months back (atleast with cars) and I have not to this day seen a single evidence / repro of this bug with helicopters. As far as I'm concerned, there is no desyncing problem with them, atleast not on a proper server. But yeah, latest news is that the devs at BE (ArmA devs) are taking a look at this issue and after it is fixed helis will be rolled on to all server, so Soon™, as Ander would say. If the devs go ahead and remove the ability to fly vehicles out of boundaries I will cry. Hiding helicopters inside the game boundaries is impossible. There needs to be an alternative answer to stashing the helicopters. Usually people get them after hard work, if they have to be hid inside the real map it will most definately get stolen in a matter of dayz. Besides, if it were realistic.. I could just fly the chopper much much further instead of leaving it in the area where zombies area. So in this case it could be flown outside of Chernarus with ease.

Who said I was asking the devs to do anything? I'm only pointing out that the current system isn't optimal, as evidenced by the huge amounts of abuse that goes on with server restarts for the purpose of hoarding/protecting piles of vehicles. Quit being a douchebag.

A few people shouldn't have all the vehicles.

Not everyone should have vehicles.

So after not playing for two weeks I updated my DayZ and Beta files via Six Updater, and launched by game. I was immediately met with two errors (apparantly graphical) but I thought nothing of it. I went to join the game and half of the building were silver and shiny, so were the vehicles! So I tried validating game files via steam and now it's /missing/ entire buildings, just not there. I am hoping someone can help me fix the broken files or fix the game, no idea what happened but it just stopped working. Graphical error message: http://i.imgur.com/LDVcA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5qY3i.jpg In-game: http://i.imgur.com/6YyMQ.jpg NOTICE SOMETHING MISSING: http://i.imgur.com/Iiu8O.jpg Running windows 7 64bit, never had these problems before. Hope I can get some help. :(

Couple reasons they might not be in yet.. I heard that the heli's have radar that allows them to see vehicles so until that's disable that could be one reason. The more likely one however was a recent interview (pcgamer I think?) where he mentioned wanting to make it so anything outside the map will despawn on server restart.

Got a better suggestion? The current system doesn't work as less than 5% of players have ALL the vehicles.

hmmm, well I hope its all sorted out soon. I've been looking for vehicles for awhile now. Havnt found anything :[

There's a guy hacking and his friend is tagging a long with him and using the hacked in vehicles etc.. The guy is playing on a stream too.. I don't know the players name but he was with the hacker Big and the stream link is : http://www.twitch.tv/EatMyDiction1 IMPORTANT : The guy says he wont get banned because he didn't hack them in and is only using what others hacked in for him and because he can talk to the developer he'll be fine.. That's kind of unfair treatment if that's true, Anyone else who uses vehicles hacked in by other people get a ban for using them without question. Special treatment isn't fair. Update: Still with the hackers and now gassy mexican is taking their items and weapons for own use. please check into this! Special treatment isn't fair. update : Gassy mexican has joined and also taking items from the hackers "if you can't beat em, Join em" kind of stance.

I sure can't wait to get choppers back, although all vehicles in this game are great. Hiding them for later gametime is hard though :)

I have not seen a vehicle for 9 days now :) We got to the spawn points, nothing. I was speaking to an admin last night and he had two choppers, claimed he had 3 once. Server admin hoarding choppers and vehicles, now there's a surprise. Vehicles should respawn every week regardless of who has them. the original owners keeps them and duplicates should be created.

Thank you for the help, also, do you know if vehicles spawn on hardcore servers?

No Tanks are Hacked in, There are normally no Tanks in DayZ Check http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vehicles for all Vehicles that are in DayZ

OK I'm bored now, been playing so long the game has become no challenge at all. All I carry now is a crossbow, a 1911, and a few cooked steaks... I can easily avoid other players and have not had to PVP in quite a while. Now I am looking for a group of players who wish to find and repair vehicles - I can see that is the next logical step. If anyone serious is interested send me a PM I'd love to get some coop play going!

To the extent of my knowledge, helicopter spawns are disabled across all server except some of the very old ones. I have recently read that both the fuel tank leaking and epic lag when flying problems have been fixed, so why they have not been added back is a bit of a mystery. My hypothesis is that they are trying to find a way to remove the radar functionality from them, as this makes finding other vehicles a snap.

That's weird, if it worked for you it should work for us... Except nothing is re-spawning for us... And please decrease the amount of days for which unused vehicles to not 7 days but more like 3 days... because in all honesty its not an easy thing to run around Chernarus barefoot, especially if its as big or even much larger than like skyrim, we need something to ride on to get us through faster.

Well, ive found most of my vehicles(2/3 :P) in the small towns that no one will go to, which ithink makes it very nice to go their and worth it. Sadly most small towns only have like 1( not even one) or 2 enter-able buildings and in total like 6 to 10 loot spawn locations, with 40% chance of their being loot its very likely you will get no loot at all, plus they have quite a lot of zombies anyway, like i counted around 15 zeds in a town that has 1 enter-able house and like 6 to 8 loot places ( with only 2 of them actually spawning anything), that is more than i see in cherno or elektro( i know people spawning in their does ruin it but that should be fixed)
