Server restarted/crashed while I was in a Helicopter! What now?

[Vincenzo (DayZ) 97]

Hello I found my self flying over the Sea, and all of the sudden I get the No message recived error. After 2-5 MIN I logged back in, and I died, and the helicopter exploded on the water.

What should I do? Should I contact an admin? When does it respawn? Anything else? Please help me :o

If it's a public hive, it should come back at a minimum of 7 days if I'm right.

If you're playing on a Private Hive contact an Admin of the Private Hive that you're playing on.

Nah Its private. But I dont have any ways to contact the Admin. They dont have a TS or a website, and Side Channel is disabled. But what if its 7 days- Will it respawn on the spawn locatian or at the place it crashed?(middle of the ocean)

If you cannot contact the admin directly maybe try leaving a note on the map for them?

If the admin is unavailable, it will respawn in a matter of 7 days minimum in one of the chosen helicopter spawns on the server. (Rog. Stary Sobor. NWAF. Kopyto. Devil's Castle. Cherno. Skalisty Island. Skalka. NEAF)

Ours is a public hive, and our heli always respawns on restart, if it crashes. There is a bug where on occasion, it will respawn at the crash site and blow up, but the server admins will have to deal with that. Ours did, until we got a new instance. :/

I thought publics were changed to 24 hours for big vehicles. That seems to be the respawn rate on mine anyway. One of my buddies crashed a few due to script 41 errors but it was always back the next day around the time of impact. He was always just spawned on land at the point of the crash perfectly fine though.

Spelling error bothered me.
