Do crash sites spawn atm?

[Sugarkills 2]

Hello, today while watching a Day Z video I read in the comments that helicopter crash sites have been taken out of the game until they resolve a desync issue with them. Is this true or has it since been fixed and put back into the game?

Thanks

I think they're still there, I saw one before the last update. I checked the changelogs, and nothing was said about the heli crash sites.

Found lots of them during last few days.

Repairable and usable helicopters (hueys) that spawned in a few places were removed because their operation caused lag and desync issues with the servers.

Helicopter crash sites are definitely still in the game. I found 2 of them yesterday. What I'm NOT sure about is whether their spawn behavior was changed.

dayzdb.com's map used to have all the possible crash site locations on their map, and the server would have crash sites spawned at a small number of the possible locations, but as of last week sometime, the markers on their map are gone. It may be that crash site spawns are now more "random", so there isn't a system where the crashes spawn at a selected number of fixed locations, but instead spawn randomly in non-forest, non-building areas.

However, the 2 sites I found yesterday were both at or near locations that I KNOW were previously noted as crash site spawns.

Long story short, I don't know if they're spawning randomly anywhere now or if they still spawn by selecting a few spots from a list of fixed locations.

Also, server restarts will cause new and different crash site spawns.
