Look at the map and ask yourself: If I owned a vehicle, where would I hide it so others can't take it? Then go there. I found a stash of no less than 6 vehicles hidden in the forest this way :). Also boats are generally in the water.

Old info.. Yes. But then can we expect to get vehicles back?.. I just found out my server doesnt respawn blown up cars :/.. Really bad.

Ye I know... I was moving the vehicles and suddenly a guy yells FLY LIKE AN EAGLE and poof, I fall from 100 meters and lose my nvgs and gps's...

No... the map. Like' date=' in the game. And I provided a very strong hint for using that map to figure out where to go to look for vehicles. I have found 3 different vehicles in the span of about 1000m simply by looking at the map and saying "Oh, gee, that looks like an interesting little nook or cranny. Let me go investigate." I would not use out-of-game maps to look for vehicles. The most "comprehensive" one I found didn't have any of the 3-4 vehicles I know about, and I'm not about to go adding them for everyone to see. No troll. Yes, he's serious. With great effort comes great reward.

Helicopters come equipped with vehicle radar and my group has owned two.. so yeah' date=' there's that. :P [/quote'] Are you serious? vehicle radar...sounds trollish are you for real? P.S to the guy who said "find a map and study it" what map? only maps ive found are the yellow dot map and moocow map is there some specific map for vehicles?

With due respect, how would anyone ever provide proof without accessing logs which only the offending admins would have access to? Recorded voice comms can be faked, as can server Side Chat, etc. And screenshots will prove nothing except they have a "bunch of stuff" which they will just claim came from lots of good-ole-fashioned hard work. I won't post the how-to, but come on. Everyone knows exactly how easy it is for admins to duplicate entire tents or vehicles full of items with the flick of a wrist, and I have seen so much evidence of it happening on so many servers it's really disturbing. I've seen admins on 3 different servers happily handing out NVGs and high-powered weapons like they were twix bars, not to mention deliberately disabling their own vehicles when logging off, knowing they can willfully duplicate the parts necessary to repair them when they log back in. It's stupid obvious and there will never be "proof" so we just need to wait for the exploits to be patched or for the team to put up some official servers out of the reach of these self-important admins who abuse their power to no end with no remorse. No, you would be all over the map looking for vehicles you can repair at will with your unlimited vehicle parts, or other players to kill with your unlimited ammo and weapons. I'm not directly accusing you, I have no idea what the details of the situation are, but just "being all over the map looking" is hardly evidence that you're not super-duplicating a ton of items and vehicle parts back at your home base of operations.

So lets say i wanted to start a completely new server in order to be able get a car i would still have to wait for a dev to spawn a couple of ruined vehicles some random places? Or would they be spawned as soon as server goes up?

Can I ask what your source is for this' date=' and how old the information is? I can see this being the case for early testing, but now that they rolled them out on hundreds and hundreds of servers I really doubt it remains a completely manual process. That would be unsustainable. [/quote'] The source was a response from Griff to a nearly identical thread maybe a week before the forum rollback. The way I understood it, it's only done once via the hive server, so the actual number of servers is irrelevant. A bit dated, yes, but it's really the only official information we've received regarding vehicles in a very long time.

I hope the trade goes wrong and you end up getting killed. Hoarding vehicles is the reason they are so impossible to find for normal players, and it's very scumbag behavior.

This is exactly what I came here to say. I've been playing on the server for about a week because my friends and I have two vehicles. That being said, we obviously can't move them to another server. I would if I could since there has been no zombies. I would really appreciate if this issue could be dealt with. There was no zombies two days ago, then the server was reset and there was zombies. Same deal as yesterday. There was zombies then a reset happened and no zombies again... I would be more than happy to donate to the server since it's where me and a few friends play.. but these issues need to be dealt with soon.

I did not get robbed, as I said, if I did they would have stole my vehicles and left my other useless items, why would they take lee enfield mags and scrap metal and leave blood bags and cars?

Yeah, I had died but I placed all the tents, and no if they found my tents they would have taken all my vehicles. I placed the medical supplies there and I placed all the tents. I don't know why only the medical stayed and why all my other tents were there, then they were emptied(some of them were just food or car supplies or just basic stuff) and then they all disappeared, except for my medical supplies tent. And that removing all empty tents thing, I lost my tents yesterday. If I lost it because of that when they weren't properly loaded I definitely should be reimbursed for that as it was the server/dev fault for my stuff being removed on accident.

WTF you people finding this abundance of vehicles? Do you just play a whole lot or are there places on map (or specific servers) that have a lot of them cause ive played this since may and ive only seen 2 cars.

Currently there is noting stopping people hiding helis and vehicles far W and N “outside” the map. This means a group can set up base out of reach of most players, and it is very hard to find these bases without a heli. Easy solution borrowed from Warefare BE. Implement a destruction/kill script with a countdown timer. The map is large enough as it is. There is no need to use the outside.

I've driven and fixed up a lot of vehicles, and I've ran most of them into various random objects, including cement walls, stone walls, fences, road blocks, rocks, and trees. They've all saved through resets, and not once has one ever exploded.

The screenie is coming, just have to move some vehicles around n get them to fit! In the meanwhile, we're still very much interested in trades for these fine shiny post apocalyptic wheels!

So if a server restarts and vehicles have been destroyed they still wont respawn?

Vehicles don't respawn once destroyed. They are spawned it by the devs at their discretion (for now).

Vehicles respawn after they are destroyed and the server restarts I believe.

I have had reports from players on my server that people are walking into there camps off the edge of the map and driving/flying off in there cars/helis/trucks the players doing it seem to walk directly to the camps rather than searching. I have also herd reports from people that use some of the SE server that they know of a maphack currently in circulation that allows the user to see the location of all vehicles on the server. Has anyone else had reports of issues like this or herd anything about these maphacks ? I am keen to find if its something that we can detect with BE as its causing havoc on UK3 to the point now where i have had to shut the server down until i can find a solution. The rage messages from players is getting out of hand.

What I mean is, like if I found a car, fixed it up, parked it in the woods, and forgot about it. would it stay there forever if noone found it?

So, I tried to find some vehicles in debug forest and found an apache. Of cause I took it and then I got banned. I didn't create it or something like that. Can you unban me?

I did a search and theres no topic on this so thought i would make one. I have noticed there is no ingame preferences in DayZ for admins to change. So how about we get a list together for the dev's to think about adding some. There are many server that when clans or people want to play, mainly in the evening, its dark or dusk on there server and the only way around this is changing the server clock time or playing on a server in a different time zone. so having a ingame preference can help. I know the servers have to be based on real time, so we are going to be limited on what preferences can be added. So some preferences examples. 1. Changing server time. 2. Changing the amount of zombies on the server. ( Min amount must be set to stop servers turning them off. ) Also could be based on the Server skill lvl. This also depends on server load and the spec's of the server. 3. Changing the weather. (clear, cloudy, raining, dynamic.) 4. Vehicles (None, Ground only, Air only or Both.) Again depends on server load and the spec's of the server. 5. Cross Airs. (on, off) 6. First person (on, off) Any other that I think of I will add. But feel free to suggest your own. Comments welcome.

Hello, I found a cheater, he spawn vehicles: his nickname strom

I only played dayZ 2 weeks due to these issues. last time I found a decent server (at least it was decent for a little while).. then admin formed up a massive clan bcoz there were other clans starting to join this server regularly but server was still fine you know. 3-4 guys camping on airfield all day and I dont care about it. anyway, the day vehicles enabled on server I was there. there were 5 restarts in a hour. the first was legit they warned us from console "restart in 5 minutes to enable vehicles".. when server was back, we played like 20 minutes. everyone was repairing or finding a car, we all communicating thru sidechat like happy kids etc. suddenly ppl started to hear chopper sounds and asking "whos chopper is that whos chopper?".. restart came in without a warning. then there were 2 choppers flying. ppl went crazy talking in side chat etc asking "did u see a chopper there? I got one top of my head" after some other restarts that day, we eventually learned admin and his clan get all those choppers. then days after vehicles enabled, some guy from admin clan tells in chat " I have 5 cars, 1 quadbike, 1 chopper :p" .. I mean how gay is this? I simply left that server and didnt played dayz since. Coz the only way to play this mod right now is become a douche bag server admin and form up a team of knuckleheadz like them. I had all the screenshots, vids of what happen but I just decided to delete them and I know what would happen If I try to say something or show some proof about things: simply nothing. Im only 1 guy and they have 10ppl and some other ppl kissing their asses regularly.
