Vehicle spawning?

Hey fellow bandits, bandettes, survivors and surviv..ettes.

I just had to ask something. I've been playing this game for less than a week and I've gotten the hang of most of the stuff. I'm not entirely sure if I'm a bandit or a survivor really, but as of yet I haven't met that many players to actually qualify as a bandit. The only time I did meet somebody we ended up shooting each other like crazy and I came out of that situation, barely alive, with a huge backpack, lots of gear and a tent. I also got a bandit kill. So, I felt pretty good about myself when I lived that through.

But this topic is about vehicles. Because I've tried to find one. And I've been scouting almost every vehicle spawn spot up in the north that I've seen on the maps that I found on the dayzwiki. I've scouted for bicycles as well as helicopters, and everything in between. I haven't seen a single vehicle on this server I would call my "default" server. So I'm asking, is there a cap to how many vehicles spawn? So if a guy repairs a car, that takes that car away from the spawn list or whatever until it's destroyed? Or does it not respawn at all? I haven't understood the spawn mechanics of this game when it comes to vehicles and I'm not joking when I tell you that I've been running around half of the island with my backpack filled with parts to repair SOME vehicle. I've had to ditch several guns and other amazing loot due to being overpacked.

So, what is there to do? How do I find a vehicle?

It sounds like all of the vehicles on the server you use have been hoarded by a group. All I can suggest is finding the base and stealing them back. Or find a server where there's not so much hoarding.

Okey that makes me quite annoyed. Because I have a HUGE problem connecting to other servers. I get this 'Waiting for host' message and is pretty much stuck there. And the one I'm on now has quite a low population so I thought it was like a good server to start out at, being a noob and all. But could this mean that those people on here just took them all?

I have two tents on this server but I guess it's possible to move them somewhere else if necessary.
