you need a bunch of gas but you dont need a full tank. 2-3 jerry cans of gas can you get you to any of the fuel pumps on the map You need a tool box. You need engine parts to fix the engine. You need a main rotor assembly to fix...the main rotor assembly You need scrap metal for the hull, tail rotor and nav system. Hueys are in no way end game items, though. They run out of ammo quick if you are raining down death to nubs on the coast. I agree. It's extremely tedious to fix a vehicle' date=' and I don't even know how you actually go about fixing the broken ones you find. I've just found clues like a tire or a gas can. I get that they want vehicles to be an end game item, but they should at least be a little easier to obtain, if only by rarity. [/quote']

Maybe you didn't got that i'm full with that guy, not against him. He's exploting the game to take an advantage. He exposes the fact that without rules, in the name of the "realism", you're not going anywhere.. simply because this is a game not the real life, and a game needs a set of rules to be played, that's why it is called "game". I may list thousands compromises adopted to make this game (sort of) balanced.. in example the vechicles: do you really believe that in real life it would be so hard to find a working vehicle? Maybe the fuel.. not the vehicles itself.. there should be hundreds of working cars all around, but there's only few.. why? Because otherwise this will be transformed into a "racing game", with ppl jumping with those cars up the hills laughing in chat (totally unrealistic). It is a sandbox.. isn't it? So where's all the vehicles? And all the bazookas? And all the helicopters? Planes? This proves you that you need to "force" ppl to follow certain rules to make the game enjoyable for anyone, and the the bandits behavior is only helping mostly those cod-style players that are not interested into the RPG part of it. Removing the skins is only increasing the problem, since now you don't even have the drawback of being a kill_em_all plr.

I agree. It's extremely tedious to fix a vehicle, and I don't even know how you actually go about fixing the broken ones you find. I've just found clues like a tire or a gas can.

I would like to see an increase in repairable vehicles as well, my group of 5 has been looking for one but hasn't had any luck in a few days. I remember hearing that a lot of vehicles can lag the server though. I've only seen one vehicle and that was a helicopter in my first night playing, wish i would've been able to fly it :D

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.

1) British Armed Forces and Private Military Company are two Arma2:Operation Arrowhead DLC-Addons. Luckily Bohemias DLC policy is non-exclusive so, if you don't buy it you will still be able to play with others that did and use all skins, guns and vehicles. The only drawback to this is, that you won't see those assets in full detail that's why it sais (lite) because it uses lower quality textures. You can see the effects of that on your ingame character. The skin of any survivor is one from Private Military Company if you compare it to cloths of zombies or bandits you'll recognise that you're cloths look a bit more washed out in comparison. If you value the high resolution textures of these skins and maybe want to play some of the offered missions and campaigns that come with those DLC you might want to buy them. I hope this answers your questions. All other questions were already competently answered.

Bump. I find this to be a pretty important bug. It makes vehicles absolutely useless until fixed.

You should be asleep in the night. True story :sleepy: Either get a torchlight and enjoy the game or if you can't handle the dark find a server that's currently in the morning, it's really nothing to be complaining about, sorry for getting so direct with you but I've seen this kind of comment too often. The reason why its so dark 'compared to vanilla' is that there's 0 artificial light coming out of buildings, vehicles and equipment in DayZ compared to the milsim.

Agreed. I guess it's more fishing for ideas as to what I should do next to keep things interesting. I guess vehicles are considered end-game content.

Yhea i run/pay for Eu12 trough the olut crew , it had vehicles in 1.5.6 but after 1.5.7 they stopped respawing . Still not respawing on 1.5.8.2 so there is hardly any left. Hope they get it fixed soon , i love vehicles ! =) Tiri : i confirm what you said They don't respawn

There seems to be another problem with vehicles, even on servers where they are included: they don't respawn when destroyed. That means when a car is lost, it is lost forever. Same for helicopter. Still gotta confirm this (the map is pretty big), but the number of vehicles is dwindling as they are accidently crashed.

Maybe post this in the server section? I'm sure there is a thread for the Virginia servers. More like' date=' maybe [b']read the server section. There is a stickied post as to why there aren't vehicles.

Any word on this yet? that's like 20 something servers with no vehicles..

Could we please get an update on this issue? My server, Virginia 13, does not appear to have any vehicles. Though, some players report having found a helicopter. Not sure how that would work. I can supply my RPT file if need be.

i made the post simply asking them if the vehicles would be put in. I did not make any demands. I hope you are not directing that at me.

To me it matters a lot if it makes it less or more realistic. This would definately make it less realistic. I mean come on? Disappearing vehicles? Invisible tools to claim land? You just wanna have nice things and you don't want to be able to lose them. DayZ is a brutal realistic world where you are worth less than your gear. If you have a nice car, people SHOULD be able to steal it. They SHOULD kill you in the process and take everything from you. and finally you SHOULD NOT have anything you can't defend by your own wits and guns.

Big FPS drop too, going from 30-40 to 5-10 every 20 seconds for several seconds. I didn't have these before this build. Also, will there be anything regarding the vehicles ? I'm talking about vehicle respawning, bug fixing (the impossible-to-refuel Huey). EDIT: Just to be sure: i'm not asking for the devs to do something about vehicles. I have no right to do so. I'm just asking what will concern the future builds, and if, by chance, it will be about vehicles.

i think in day z you should be able to retool things that you claimed and built . you should have a menu on the top you can open and you see everything you built and placed or claimed like vehicles . you should be able to retool and place it make a fort . but youshould have a invisible tool that lets you claim land , but not too close to a city like in a forest . if this was added i would be in love with this game , it does not make it less or more realalistic it does not matter if it does . in todays tec that's only way you could do it . if that person has claimed it , you can drive away with it , if that person wants to retool it , he can and you will be forced out of the vehicle . on everyserver this should follow your character . also when you die you will not lose your items you simply keep your invisible ground claim tool , and reclaim a area that is green , when that area is taken it will go red . you can claim pretty much everywere but not in city's but you can claim a part on the beach . the only areas you can not claim are , areas that have high traffic , because it would be unfair if you just place a fort in the middle of a runway and you just snipe anyone around you . this area should be a decent size , you will start off with a tool called ("Ground Claimer Very Small") and through out the map you can find , a tool that is very small small , medium , large , very large . these tools with multiply by how much ground you can claim . lets say you found a hill and you want to claim it . and one spot of the hill is 100ms you claim 20m , lets say you got a large tool and you want to claim it you will have the whole thing . most all of the spots are 100ms but some are very large up to 10000m . enough to make a base ... if none of it makes sense then fill the rest will common sense ... also in the map you will go into a edit mode all you can see if color and a green and red path , be ware . make sure no one is around you because you are defensless when you are in this mode , each spot will have a desc when you look at it , one spot will say a base , yuo click it , it will say do oyu wish to claim this land you say yes you have cliamed it , you can unclaim it when you found a bigger land , you can also claim diferent spots like were you are allowed to place electri polls , it will detect it if you do not have a electric generator it will not allow you . when you claim a area you can start walking around the map and finding stuff for your base , but beware of still surviving . as soon as you repair a car it will say you have sucusfully repaired a car do you wish to claim it , when you claim any vehicle you can retool it drag and drop it . were you please but you cant not place it in city;s part 2 . the building parts you can find around the map you can find sand bags around the map , you can place it by moving it around in circles . then there should be lots of parts , and bags , a wall . a wall with a hole in it for sniping . stairs . wall with a window . a road . barbwire . bait sticks to keep the zombies away . a gate for you can lock it from the outside but only the person that placed it can . a beam for coolness . plants , trees , rocks . also there will be a wall , a wall with sniper hole , a wall that curves right left straight down , you can move these walls freely . also little lights , flares , a spawn becan , only way your friends could spawn near it when they die is if you put their name in the beacan it's self only the person that placed it can , a house , small , big , large . all sorts of roads , a little side walk , a armory for your weapons , a chest , also a gas pump , a vehicle garage , baracades for a side defense line , spikes to pop peoples tires but the spikes pop other peopels vehicles but not yours because you are the person that placed it . you can also place sniper nests , you can also place , a place that certain gear spawns in 10-30 minutes , like for example food , ammo , only 1 kinds of ammo will spawn , the only ammo that will spawn in the little house will be ammo that is for the weakest and worse guns in the game . and the only food that spawns is the worse in the game . you can place plants , big small , plants that you can hide in and be hidden , you can place pine trees . you can also place a heli pad , you can place your heli on this pad . on these walls you can get on them and shoot from them . you can also place a main base , there should be diferent kinds , like a small one , that you can hide in , meduim one , big one . and each one will have bigger floors . also you can place a light that goes red when their is no gun shots and goes green when there is gun shots . you can also place sirens these sirens will , go off when there is zombies a near , it will allert more but it helps you , that's the risk , of course these attract more zombies to your base but it helps you . in your base you can have distractions , a meat stick , that makes the zombies go to it instead of banging at your door all the time . a stick with a light , this stick with a light will make the zombies get confused for you can sneak out . also in your base you can have lots of stuff really if this is implimented there should be lots of updates comnig alonge that will add lots of new stuff to build ... to releave any confusion if you want to place a road you can make it look totaly normal , or make it look lazy and sloopy . these are un common to find if you want to place a plant , you cna make it look sloopy or normal , or you can save your plants and combine all of them . thee are commom things to find if you want to place a tree you will have choices if the trees , lets say you want a pine tree you can place pine trees for no one can see your activity by your base , but these are very hard to find . if you want to place normal trees you can just place then for cover if somone invades you . these are easy and hard at the same time lets say you want a becan , you will have to go to the army bases to find these devices , you should place them in walls . lets say you have 3 friends , you plce it and this menu will pop up , you put in there exact name , and then when one of you die you spawn in your base . rare only spawns when you have a generator if you want to place walls , you hould make it so your totaly coverd and there is no way for somone to get in , you can make a square base and have armory's and trees in it . or you can make it big covering your whole land . common sniper nests , if you want to place these , you cant place them in trees but not a near your base , because it will be to unbalaced if you make a fort by the coast line and just peek off everyone . rare armory's , you can plce armory's but these buildings will have chests in them you can put items in them , but only guns and ammo , this should be your stash of weapons . rare food place . this should be your place were you place all your food , and food spawns on the floor , also it spawns around your chests if you choose to go find them . you can place only food in them . rare only spawns when connected to a generator lets say you want a siren , this siren you can only place on a wall or either a roof , these sirens will warn you when zombies are near , but will tract more zombies , that's the chance of safety , also these sirens warn you when players are near by up to 3000m , with a upgrade called a camra ... only if you have a generator , there also will be a one that is powerd by the sun and it can see upto 1-400m a blinking light , this light will tell you if there is zombies a near but only if you have a generator . there should be 2 diferent lights a night that powers it's self but only , sees up to 1-400m or a light that is powerd by generator , that sees heat and can see upto 1-6000m , but only if it has a camera and a great view . can not be placed on a high height , because that would be cheap a generator . this generator comes in all sorts of forms . solar , gas , and electric . the solar one can power 1 thing but it comes with it's own , you can find solar pannels all around the map if you donot want to keep your eye on it and power it . when you have 2 pannels it will power still 1 thing but it will power longer , more pannels you get the longer it lasts , lets say you want to have a food place , you can power it but it will only spawn once because the juice runs out , same with 2 but it will spawn 3 minutes shorter , with 4 pannels it will spawn all the time , and the more you add , the more things it powers , every 4 pannels it fully powers 1 thing . a gas generator . this gas generator can power 3 things but needs gas , each jerry can , powers it for 10 minutes . the electric generator is the best but requires a electri pool to hook up to the main ocean , alonges side the ocean there is a bounch of electric plants that can be hooked up for 2 players each . you just simply retool it and claim it again . but people can disconnect yours . andbreak yours , with a tool kit . a electric poll , these eletric polls can go across the map , but th e only way they can be placed is if there is a green spot , but that green spot can be claimed by a player to stop a whole bounch of chaos , these electric polls can be cut , with a tool kit , but it takes 3 tool kits to cut the wire 1 wire . which will stop the electricy . and you can link your polls up to a power supply all over the coast your either throughout the map , but when you claim the strip of land , that goes all the way up to the generator . if these power plants are taken you better know about it :D a ammo spawner , this place needs a generator , but you can still put your own ammo but does not spawn great ammo for good guns , it spawn the worse ammo in the game for the wores't guns ... you can find a whole bounch of chests across the map . chests these chests can be claimed for diferent things lets say you want to palce the chest in a ammo house , it will automaticly be placed as a ammo chest and serve nothing other then ammo . please let me have a break my hands are hurting my brain is hurting il finish the rest latter . ---------DO NOT COMMENT ABOUT THIS WILL NOT WORK BECAUE IT DOES ------------DO NOT COMMENT ABOUT THIS IDEA STINKS -----------DO NOT COMMENT OR TROLL OR START FLAME WAR -------------DO

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 ?

Just an update. Took 2 restarts. Vehicles are all back. Thanks

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

Looks like we got us a casualfag here. 1- There are a good enough amount of vehicles already. A handful of vehicles are spawned around the map. 2- This is ArmA. nuffsaid. 3- Loot is already plentiful. 4- Deal with it, snipers are legit. 5- There already is a way, by shooting their legs or waiting for them to go unconcious. 6- This is supposed to be somewhat realistic, if I shot a man in real life I wouldn't get hungry quicker or become more prone to sickness. God's not going to curse me for murdering someone. And doing this would add a deterrent to one of the main gameplay features, PvP (which should be debated over at a minimum here.) 7- Yes, this is quite annoying for your first time playing but once you succeed you'll gain much needed experience to play through this gruesome mod once you unite with your friend finally. If you're smart though, you can respawn until you both spawn in the same town or a town near each other. The mod is harsh for a reason. If you can't deal with the trials of day-to-day life of a zombie apocalypse and find it quite un-amusing, that's fine. But please don't make threads like these.. they give me cancer..

Running around for 12 hours to find some fancy weapon just to be killed in 1 shot from 500 meters away, instantly, removes all kind of in game achievements you had accomplished and the penalty is so harsh that forces you to start the game from complete scratch making you feeling you have wasted all the time and effort you had put in it. It is simply not fun. Please: 1- Add more vehicles (bicycles, quads, bikes, water bikes...) 2- Change the dying mechanics: In order to be killed by players , you must be downed unconscious by gun fire and then be shot point blank in the head. 3- Increase the zombie loot (what they protect and what they carry as drop). 4- Remove the sniper rifles or make it so you can't kill players with it, only drive them unconscious ( back to point 2). 5- Introduce the possibility to rob players without killing them (back to point 2). 6- Reintroduce humanity stat but in the right way, make it so that it affects all you do, like " luck " stat from Fallout games. The lower it is, the faster you go hungry, the easier to catch an infection, the higher radious the zombies have to spot you and aggro just you... 7- Add the posibility to spawn with your friends in the same spot. It is not fun to run for 2 hours just to meet the person you want to enjoy this game with. Sure, some may say this adds the sense of "achievement" but only the first time. Running all over the map is not fun, specially if you are made of paper and go down in 1 shot which rewards you with another 2 hours walk untill you meet your friend. more points to come from somebody else?...

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