They always have.

Heli spawns are still disabled. Like they have for a long time.

If this is true, then I'm a tard and a half, however my team heard a chopper in the distance last night during a mission.

Aren't they switched on in some servers and some off? I know a private hive server that has them.

[Daddy'o (DayZ) 146]

Official hive has them disabled for double fold reasons. First they cause massive latency issues with the server they are used on, and are dangerous to use because of the danger of getting disconnected while flying, which causes an insta crash and death for all aboard. Also they are otherwise buggy as well with the ability to fit more than one gunner on the chopper weapons. They have been disabled for weeks and no word of them returning has been made since.

Having said that, old servers can still have choppers, that have survived from the time they WERE spawned. Only the current spawning is disabled, not the actual choppers. This is why you can still see them on some servers.

Also it might be possible some servers have received manual spawns from the dev team upon request. Can't verify that though.

Unofficial hives, which are illegal, of course can have choppers and chopper spawns, because rocket and the dev team cant control those.

Now gimme some beans!

Then that helicopter was hacked in. Thats the only way to get one in the game at the moment.

No it's not. You can still find legit choppers from the time they still spawned. Like I said before, heli's aren't disabled. Only fresh spawns are.
