bobc777 2 Posted January 27, 2013 Don't do it, if you logout there it takes you back to the coast. I'm currently on a voyage in a boat at 14km an hour, do the Maths.... I don't know if it's even possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drakan 62 Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) I'm currently on a voyage in a boat at 14km an hour, do the Maths.....1) Get in your boat, make sure you have plenty of fuel and food.2) open the map, Mark a Waypoint in the direction of Island3) Find a rubber on your desk, cut it in pieces and put it on the "forward" Key. Then lay an empty and heavy object on the rubber+keyboard (My fav is a glass)And you're done , you have your Homemade Autopilot !Enjoy your Nav, take into consideration deviation.Leave to the kitchen and prepare yourself some hot and chunky muffins" Edited January 27, 2013 by Drakan 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dallas 5195 Posted January 27, 2013 Haven't got the patience for fishing boats, but imo having the PBX is more precious than a chopper. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmashT 10907 Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) You can just switch to the back seat of a boat while holding w and it won't stop. Just don't accidentally eject. Edited January 28, 2013 by smasht_AU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Draxx (DayZ) 61 Posted January 28, 2013 You guys do mean an eraser don't you? Otherwise it is a massive waste. Not to mention will leave your keyboard all slimey...Nono, I think they mean actually a rubber - better sava than sorry! And you get used to a slimey keyboard. At least it won't get pregnant. :P 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted January 28, 2013 I once spawned in the sea, near a boat. But the boat had no fuel, thank the makers they fixed that glitch.Any group who has a "secret" base so far out deserves to lose everything, Cowards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RJTurneR 112 Posted January 31, 2013 We did this once, setup tents, had a chopper, and even attempted to park a car on the back of fishing boat to carry it over which went incredibly bad. All spawed on the coast the next morning anyway.Lesson learnt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
