Helicopter gone?

[Sirisia 1]

So here's the deal, I was chilling on De #32 and found a perfectly good helicopter, repaired the main rotor array and whoopdidoo the sucker took off to the sky with me piloting it.

I park it way far far away from any cities, in broad daylight, nothing in the vecinity that could ruin the day. Log off for about 10-20 min and suddenly it's pitch black and my helicopter is no where to be found.

With me trapped in the middle of nowhere ofcourse.

The thing I do wish to ask, after several minutes trying different searches for "helictopers" "save" "vehicles" etc. etc. and didn't find a good answer to my question I state it here:

Now I seriously doubt the vehicle got hijacked due to well, it doesn't get dark in the game in 10-20min from broad daylight right?

So the real question should be, do vehicles get saved and how the hells do that work? I think mine despawned and spawned somewhere else due to what might have been a possible server reset.

Any help is apprechiated, Thanks in advance.

I think they wiped all vehicles, I'm missing 2 V3S, 4 ATVs, 2 PBXs. And they were all on different servers.

Well the thing is I found it tonight, at about 22.30 GMT +1, after all the server hassle, so it's really strange. But what you say might be the sad truth

Well did you scroll on it and click save HU-whatever-it's-called-heli?

Scrolled on it but never got that option, only got the ones where I could take a seat in it and I had logged out and in about 5 minutes earlier and it was still there, strangly.

Do you have to stand far away to see that option or how does it work?

Something like this happened to me. I was at Stary. Night time. A friend and I figured we would go to a crash site that was close to starry from earlier that day. Sure and behold crash site in the same area, but not location. We approach, get shot at. He pussies out lol. I go around. Kill one. Got killled from the other. Still dark. I spawn and it's morning. lol what!?

Also I was at a different crash site next to Novy. I decide to do that stash loot procedure people do. I end having to go to the bathroom. Log off. no more than 5 minutes, and log back in and the crash site is gone lol. Lame.

You have to find the "sweet spot" much easier with smaller vehicles I found. With the army truck it can be a few seconds to find where to save it, with the white off road truck its just at the door and with the ATV it's instant. Found it okay on the hippy vehicle, just keep scrolling until you have it.

Dang it, then it probably despawned. I hope it showed up where I found it so I can take it again, now that it's night it might be easy enough. Thanks for the reply though, atleast now I know
