Consensus on Vehicle Repairing

[tajjuk 65]

I've been having a few issues recently with vehicle repairing.

Last night we found a car with no wheels, we added four wheels but no wheels appeared and they stayed red.

Previously we found a littlebird, stuff was added carefully to the various sections that needed repairing but they still remained red?

I also see various requirements for bits, some ssay 4 scrap for a chopper some say 6, some people are saying broken glass causes fuel leaks other saying it doesn't.

So from what I can pick up people have said a general process for vehicle fixing-

- One person fixes the vehicle.?

- Said one person gets into drivers seat then gets out to 'sync' said vehicle to them.?

- One part is added on to each broken (red) area, so glass onto glass 1, engine parts onto engine, wheel onto rfwwheell etc.?

- when all parts are on the while thing should show repaired (green) but a fixed part will still show red?

- lack of complete glass will cause fuel leak?

EDIT: - Now also reading that hitting the vehicle or shooting it will sync it in to the server.?

Please can people confirm on the above points, as the bugs/glitches with vehicles seems to be wasting me a lot of time and loot. I'd like to know an exact process I can follow to make sure that I will have a working vehicle for my efforts.

We have one rule in our group. When we're repairing a vehicle, the 'repairer' gets into the driver's seat and gets out before repairing anything. And for the rest, DON'T FUCKING TOUCH THE CAR.

Works fine.

We experienced something similiar on a Namalsk server, I soon found out that you can repair only one part per login, so we always repaired one part and then reconnected.

So going with the one person gets in, gets out then repairs, no else does antyhing rule seems best then?

Consensus?

[tajjuk 65]

Consensus?

A generally accepted opinion or decision.

I really want, that in SA would be less vehicles. And especially less cars. And if there needed to be some vehicles, then it would be trucks. Diesel trucks.

[drayson 158]

In vanilla dayz there are very few vehicles at all most servers have the vehicle count way up there.

Personally I've never had this problem I regularly do repairs with multiple people and no issue with parts not working.

Congratulations you are smarter than google translate!

Anyway, its neither a decision or an openion. Its a bug. :)

As azure said, Vanilla Dayz has very few vehicles. In most cases just one of each type on a server so finding one is a big deal or at elast fro me it is. When it eats the four tyres you've just trudged around half the map for it is very annoying!

I'm not sure that's saying much. I know it's a bug I meant a consenus on how best to work around the bug.

BTW Careful on the 'damage the vehicle to sync it in' plan. I tried this last night, gave it a little tap with my axe, got in 'boom' knocked out and bleeding on the floor.
